I think you can piss off any Slavic country by claiming that some other Slavic invented Pierogies, Pirogi, pirohy, pyrohy, varenyky, or whatnot (e.g., Saying to Ukrainians that Pierogies are a Polish food, or vice versa, etc.).

You can piss off any post-communist country by mistaking them for Russians / overestimating similarity with Russians. Its most offensive in the Balkans but the Poles and Czechs get pretty offended too.
The Eastern Europe thing takes the cake for the Czechs though. They take it as seriously as we take trying to distance ourselves from the fact that we're basically American.
