patties or burgers

These are eaten in Wisconsin. Miner's food. Self-contained and easy to carry with you down into the mine.

That's exactly what the US guy told me aboput when we were dining (see the above message)! Pasti -- the miners' food!

Paraphrasing what you said:

Pirog -- eaten all over Russia.

Actually, this is not everyday's food. Usually, pirogs are made for celebrations.

Like Cornish pasties- the crust was discarded and a way to eat with dirty hands below ground.

Pierogie are a regional thing in the US. Certainly we have no shortage of those of Eastern European descent in Western Pennsylvania. Pierogies are good Lent food. Meatless and very filling.

I find this discussion fascinating.
I was born, raised and educated in Eastern Pennsylvania (roughly 325 miles (523 km) from Dave in western Pennsylvania) and I have never heard of the word Pierogie until this evening.
We were not a family of gourmets - far from it. But we did live close enough to America's largest Amish community and were lucky to have varied, wholesome, and chemical free foods which ended up in exotic dishes from families that had immigrated from all over the world.

And I never heard of scrapple until I was in college.

They have "pierogie races" at the baseball games in Pittsburgh, where costumed characters run the basepaths.

I have just read this informative (and frightening) sentence (the words in bold are my

emphasis):

"Our global food supply is far-flung -- a single patty can combine meat from

multiple countries -- but tracing it is crucial for safety."

Quite honestly, today you're lucky if a patty contains anything that could actually be called "meat"!
