Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

just wanted to point out that pierogi is basically russian ravioli, and you can buy them by the pound in ethnic supermarkets for like $5. add your own sauce and yum for cheap.

Are... pirogi and piroshki ... basically the same thing, but from ... differing slavic languages, or different dialects... or are they actually different food in some way?

I used to go to Piroshky Piroshky all the time when I lived in Seattle... it seems like the same thing?

piroshki is like an empanada, baked pastry outside. pierogi is like ravioli, boiled dumpling

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So pierogi is the same food as pelmeni?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pelmeni are usually filled with raw minced meat, while pierogi can be filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients, such as cheese, potatoes, fruit, cabbage, or sauerkraut.

In Ukrainian and Russian we call these "vareniki"

Which is to say, in essence, pelmeni are a type of pierogi

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

In the actual Slavic languages, "pirog" (or adjacent roots) just means a pie. "Piroshki" is the same root but with a diminutive suffix.

Holy shit, I haven't thought of Pirpshky Pirpshky in a long time. They were the best!

Wonder if those are better/cheaper than Costco

Which are delicious by the way

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

costco has em for 2.6 pounds for $5. great deal. reviews say not bad. although potato is rather cheap and boring stuffing. what do you top them with?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Potato and cheese is classic, and honestly it hits the spot better than you might expect. Toss with butter after boiling. Keeps them from sticking and tastes great.

Commonly topped with sour cream, green onions, other onions, and/or bacon depending on what you have handy. A nice fatty sour cream with grilled yellow onions is my favourite, especially served with a nice hunk of garlic sausage.

They used to be $6 at my local Costco until they jacked up the price to $11.

Never forgave Costco for that. I liked these perogies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

yea thats a huge jump. are there any ethnic supermarkets in your area that might be worth scoping out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sour cream or cream cheese are pretty common here in Ohio.

The dankies:

@[email protected] is right. Very simple yet very comforting.


Brent Icus, you’re boiling them?

But but but best results

So we should try the boil eh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I find pan frying them works best if they're leftovers, the dough fries up better after it's boiled and then dried out a little. It's a very good option for sure.

Or Latvian piragi

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

As opposed to non ethnic supermarkets, where you can get water.
