Ratatouille I think, it reminds me of summer!” Adriana, Poland, 18 “Pierogi(dough dumplings stuffed with a filling such as potato or cheese, typically served with onions or sour cream).  I kind of miss this food every time I'm travelling abroad:)” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi Iida, Finland, 16 “Hmmm.
