There must be several of these because there’s a food truck with the same name in my area that looks nothing like this one
The OG is in Kraków, Poland.
There’s also one in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada.I’m sure there’s a couple more around.
Nooooooooooo, don’t give me a reason to want to go to GP 😭
just wanted to point out that pierogi is basically russian ravioli, and you can buy them by the pound in ethnic supermarkets for like $5. add your own sauce and yum for cheap.
As opposed to non ethnic supermarkets, where you can get water.

Wonder if those are better/cheaper than Costco
Which are delicious by the way
costco has em for 2.6 pounds for $5. great deal. reviews say not bad. although potato is rather cheap and boring stuffing. what do you top them with?
They used to be $6 at my local Costco until they jacked up the price to $11.
Never forgave Costco for that. I liked these perogies.
yea thats a huge jump. are there any ethnic supermarkets in your area that might be worth scoping out?
Potato and cheese is classic, and honestly it hits the spot better than you might expect. Toss with butter after boiling. Keeps them from sticking and tastes great.
Commonly topped with sour cream, green onions, other onions, and/or bacon depending on what you have handy. A nice fatty sour cream with grilled yellow onions is my favourite, especially served with a nice hunk of garlic sausage.
Sour cream or cream cheese are pretty common here in Ohio.
The dankies:
@brenticus@lemmy.world is right. Very simple yet very comforting.
Brent Icus, you’re boiling them?
But but but best results
So we should try the boil eh
I find pan frying them works best if they’re leftovers, the dough fries up better after it’s boiled and then dried out a little. It’s a very good option for sure.
Or Latvian piragi
Are… pirogi and piroshki … basically the same thing, but from … differing slavic languages, or different dialects… or are they actually different food in some way?
I used to go to Piroshky Piroshky all the time when I lived in Seattle… it seems like the same thing?
Holy shit, I haven’t thought of Pirpshky Pirpshky in a long time. They were the best!
In the actual Slavic languages, “pirog” (or adjacent roots) just means a pie. “Piroshki” is the same root but with a diminutive suffix.
piroshki is like an empanada, baked pastry outside. pierogi is like ravioli, boiled dumpling
So pierogi is the same food as pelmeni?
Pelmeni are usually filled with raw minced meat, while pierogi can be filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients, such as cheese, potatoes, fruit, cabbage, or sauerkraut.
Which is to say, in essence, pelmeni are a typr of pierogi
In Ukrainian and Russian we call these “vareniki”

Łukasz, you’ve turned off your targeting ravioli! What’s wrong?
There is a food truck with the same name in Grande Prairie Alberta, doubt it would be closer but at least it is out there.
