Prairie things.

When I was in California last summer, I was informed of a startling fact.

They have no perogies.

Perogies. None. They're a staple around here. They have their own section in the frozen food aisle. Sometimes, they're even listed on the big signs hanging from the roof in the grocery story.

So, in this scientifically accurate poll, I want to know:

Do you have perogies?
Are they common, or have you only seen them once or twice?
- If the later, did you see them in your local, or were you traveling?
Do you have any clue what the hell I'm blathering about about?

Am planning to make them tonight, just so I can see what you're talking about.

Made them. They were strange - I don't think I got the dough thin enough and I slightly overcooked them. Also, I think the recipee was dodgy.

They were nice with sauce, but.

Well, I know few enough people who actually make perogies. We all just buy them at the store. I think it's a fine art. Or something.

Glad you gave them a try, though. ::G::

-- I'm almost afraid to ask what you mean by 'sauce.'

You didn't put gravy on them, did you?

No. Tomatoe sauce. The universal condiment.

You put... ketchup... on perogies.

Because the other option? Is spaghetti sauce. Which would actually maybe be better.

Dude, if you put ketchup on perogies, the recipe was very dodgy.

It didn't say to put it on them, but I'd boilded them and panfried them and I felt they needed a little extra something. Like tomatoe sauce. Besides, they're *practically* pasties, and you eat pasties with sauce.

and sausages, chips, eggs, pies, pastizzies, stew, casseroles, spanikopika. Everything works with sauce. :)
