Schuylkill County's Eastern European food heritage

A 2005 Schuylkill County folklife study documented the county's Eastern European food traditions — the legacy of the Polish, Lithuanian, Slovak, Ukrainian, and other immigrant families who settled in Schuylkill County's anthracite communities. The study found that when the county advertised “ethnic food,” it meant Eastern European fare, and it recorded delicacies such as bleenies (potato pancakes), pierogi, halupki (stuffed cabbage), and halushki (cabbage and noodles) served at church picnics, fairs, and borough heritage days.

Source: Come to the Old Country: A Handbook for Preserving and Sharing Schuylkill County's Cultural Heritage — Schuylkill County Ethnic Heritage Study (Michael & Carrie Nobel Kline; Schuylkill River National & State Heritage Area) (2005)

Cook the tradition at home: the Coal Region recipes — pierogies, halupki, halushki, bleenies, boilo, and more, organized by heritage table.

Not every county flavor arrived with an immigrant table. Teaberry — the wintergreen note of a native mountain plant — is a Schuylkill County foodway in its own right, from 19th-century berry-gathering on the ridges to the pink teaberry ice cream still scooped here today: the history of teaberry.
