A huge variety of fillings are available, but the most popular include fried shrimp, crab or lobster nestled among lettuce, remoulade and pickles.

A chance to reconsider not just the dumpling, but the story we tell about what Polish food is, though the pierogi rethink doesn’t stop at fillings.

The squishy Amoroso’s roll is packed with finely shaved Black Angus beef, fried onions and melted American cheese — though mushrooms and halal chicken are also available as fillings.

The same goes for frozen meals, casseroles, soups, stews and cakes, pies and pastries with custard or cheese fillings.
