Fiesta!

In a bit of Revisionist History, the Polish actually settled Mexico, thus making Pierogi an appropriate meal for Cinco de Mayo.


Interesting...I had always thought it was the Spanish and French that settled that area.


Most people do think that, and given the Spanish language, cultural influences, and history books, it's pretty easy to understand why. However, the real story is one of bravery and heroism from Poland leading to the settling of Central America. I'll leave the research as an exercise for the reader.


So this has nothing to do with you forgetting to go to Taco Bell yesterday and eating pierogi instead?


Not a thing. Why do you ask?
