8 Polish Foods of Christmas

Veggie Tales song...I would sing parts of it in the monastery. And, today, I found the lyrics.

The first Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
A boiled potato topped with dill weed.

The second Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,

Two steamed pierogies
What's a pierogy?
It's dough, wrapped around meat

And a boiled potato topped with dill weed

The third Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party
Three simmered gwumpkies
What's a gwupmky?
It's cabbage, wrapped around meat.

Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed.

The fourth Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
Four baked paprikas
What's a paprika?
It's a bell pepper, stuffed with meat.

Three simmered gwumpkies
Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed

The fifth Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
Five smoked kielbasas
What's a kielbasa?
It's pretty much just meat.

Four baked paprikas
Three simmered gwumpkies
Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed

The sixth Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
Six fried chruschikis
Let me guess, something from the meat family?
Actually, it a delightful pastry with a thin, flaky crust!
Ooh, mmmm!

Five smoked kielbasas
Four baked paprikas
Three simmered gwumpkies
Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed

The seventh Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
Seven pitted prunes
But I don't like prunes!
With this food, you'll need 'em, son.

Six fried chruschikis
Five smoked kielbasas
Four baked paprikas
Three simmered gwumpkies
Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed

The eight Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party,
Eight poppy seed cakes
Poppies! Poppies!
Oh, I'm so sleepy!
There's no place like home!

Seven pitted prunes
Six fried chruschikis
Five smoked kielbasas
Four baked paprikas
Three simmered gwumpkies
Two steamed pierogies
And a boiled potato topped with dill weed
