So very true. I am Italian and my husband Polish. They are angry people because all they eat is potatoes. When my father in law passed, we went to Chicago is visit where he grew up and visited a Polish restaurant. All they had on the menu was potatoes, yea they were fixed in various ways but boiled potatoes are boiled potatoes.
Humm, maybe my husband just married me for the food.

ROTFL!

But someone born in Chicago isn't Polish, they're American, yes?

That aside, I've been to a lot of Polish restaurants in Poland and have never, ever seen one where only potatoes were on the menu. Must be a Chicago thing!

What kind of funky restaurant did you go to?

If you said we were sour because all we eat is cabbage, I could understand it. Between the Sauerkraut, rolled cabbage and Hunter’s stew, we eat a lot of cabbage.

Potatoes are a filler for perogi. That’s it. Or twice baked with dill.
My other half is Irish. THEY eat boiled potatoes.

Pierogi are Potato Ravioli. ‘Nuff said.

OTOH, how silly would it be to say, “Eh, pasta is still pasta.”
