You're completely correct when it comes to geography. I made a mental shortcut, as Polish Galicia
Was concentrating around Krakow, which I suppose is an effect of a bias in which I’m not alone ;)
In such Zamość region is completely removed from “Galician cuisine” mentioning Jewish, Austria, Krakow and Ukraine. Weird omission (but many regional to Krakow dishes are described as “Galician” which I suppose is a reason.
So the misattribution risk is still there due to bias even though geographically it’s correct. I’d still rather preserve name, as the more to the west the worst the pierogi gets (which is a shame).
