 | | In 1948 Treasured Polish Recipes for Americans, published in America, gave |
 | | the Polish word for the soup as "czarnina." Robert Strybal, a native of Michigan who wrote the syndicated column "Polish Chef," spelled the word "czernina" in his 1993 book, Polish Heritage Cookery. |
 | | Noting the different spellings, Strybal, announced that "the spelling is 'czarnina' in peasant dialect," a distinction that resonates with just a hint of distaste for cookbooks that could not keep straight "real" ethnic cuisine from the peasant fare immigrants tended to eat. |
