Aren't krowki more famous?
- jhbadger 3y agoNot internationally. At least in the US. I've never heard of krowki, but having lived in Wisconsin and the Chicago area (which both have a large number of people with Polish heritage) Pierogi are a common bar food.
- yetihehe 3y agoNever heard about them from outside of Poland, but heard about pierogi a lot, even Men in Black had them (what else would an alien eat, right?).
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoI agree that krówki are rather little known outside Poland and the GP’s post was daft. But I was amused to find krówki from Poland sold in several towns in Chilean Patagonia, which I guess is a testament to modern shipping-container based trade.
- yetihehe 3y agoI don't think it was daft.
- civilitty 3y agoNot true, they’re popular all over Eastern Europe. So much so that the Krowka brand is available at nearly every Russian/Armanian/etc store in the US. It’s a staple in the candy isle along with mishka, belochka, and Alenka. Those stores probably outnumber the restaurants serving pierogi significantly.
- xlii 3y agoKrowki are almost the same as fudge - depending on the recipe and shape those are usually indistinguishable. But as per se they aren't very famous and are universally liked, so it's a safe thing to bring from Poland. Because ingredients are simple and mostly safe they also make a good gift for pregnant (assuming they want to munch on sugar-milk-butter candies, but who's to judge a sweet-tooth?).
