[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German Volhynian food

[Jerry Frank]

If you are too far removed from your ancestors to know what German 
Volhynian food is like, go to:

and click the several links from the list on the left side.

Sorry folks - it is only in the German language but you can look at the 
pictures anyway and set your mouth to watering.  :-)

Here is what is shown:
Borscht  (beet soup)
Golubzi  (holopshi?   cabbage rolls)
Mlinzi (this one I don't recognize)
Pirogi   (fruit filled pockets)
Wareniki  (veronike - cottage cheese filled pockets)

I had always thought of Pirogi and Wareniki as simply variations of the 
same thing but here they appear to differentiate between fruit and other 
fillings.
