What is a perogie ?
It's more of an east coast thing. Doesn't exist so much out here, which is a dman shame. You haven't lived until you've had a perogie.
It is a pasta shell, lieke a ravioli, only it is filled with mashed potatoes usually, although you can put all kinds of stuff in them.. heaven. a tiny peice of heaven. You eat them smothered in butter and onions usually.
You can boil them, fry them, deep fry them, or as I recently discovered, grill them!
Vareniki! They're called Vareniki people! j/k. They are referred to as pierogies in Poland, and maybe a few parts of Western Ukraine. And they are fucking amazing!
My fave is potato filled, grilled with a few onions. Then I sprinkle sea salt and black pepper on them, and eat them with ketchup and sour cream. Gross, huh? Love it!
Now I have to get some....

Store bought are called Mrs. T's and although they are good...it's no comparison to homemade. If yrou in the east coast, like Ohip or Pa, you can find perogie stores, and the catholic churshces sell them homemade during the school year. They sell them every Friday, and they are like,$4 for a dozen or something. and they are AMAZING. if you can buy them from the church..omg. sooo good. These little old ladies sit and make them all day long and they are just to die for. Whenever I go home or my bf goes home, or family comes to visit me, I have them bring me 5 dozen. And that lasts less than a month! I looove pierogies!
Order online!!!
from Pittsburgh, Pa.
These are gooood! I've had em!
ohh.. the haluski is good to! I might go make some now....I;m gettin hungry!





I live in Austin with Katrine, I am totally gonna hit up that deli...I've never heard of such a thing! aha I'm all excited over mash potato noodle pockets....Cool![]()
My grandmother and I used to make them from scratch. Our version is actually referred to as pelmeni, and they are Siberian in origin. They are a little smaller, and filled with meat. Same concept though. It would take several hours, I recommend getting them pre-made.

What kind of grill did you use? Outdoor? George Foreman?
More importantly, what kind were they? -drools-
^ I used an indoor tabletop grill, but not a foreman, the open kind.
And they were just store bought potato and cheese...I boiled them first, grilled them till they had beautiful dak grill marks, and then I put a little metled butter on top. Usually, I like them fried...but this was actually way better. It was like a mix between boiled and fried. Soft in some parts, crispy in others....was delish.
Dammit! Now I'm gonna have to dig some out of my freezer.
Perogies are the SHIT! I love them. SO fuckin good.
Never tried grilling them...will have to now! Usually I get the Mrs T's potato and cheese, boil til soft,then sautee in fake butter. YUMMMMMMM!!!
Pasta AND potatos AND cheese? Its the perfect food!
*whimper* Wants pierogies...
My dad's family is Polish; my grandma ROCKS the pierogies. Hers are filled with cottage cheese and onions. Melt some butter on top and num num num. Doesn't get any better.








OMG I love love love perogies, they are soooo yummy. Haven't had them in a while.




Mm. I grew up in the Western PA area, about forty minutes outside of Pittsburgh. I dropped my jaw when someone in my dorms at WVU asked what a pierogie was. I was like "WTF only the best food evar?!"
Hell, Pittsburgh Pirates have 'pierogie races' LOL!
Now I really want pierogies. And haluski. OMG polish food is the best.
^ ever go to Nationality Days in Ambridge?
ohh....tons and tons of awesome food.
