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?

*waves from California!* WE DO have perogies!! They're not super common but they are in the frozen food sections of most large chain grocery stores.

Yes we have them. They're in the supermarket, but they're better at carnivals or the like. Deep fried is the best with a little vinegar on them

We have them too. There's not a whole section in the frozen foods, maybe 2 or 3 varieties at the most. (Like plain, cheesey, and with bacon, or something like that. Maybe with sour cream, too. They tend to flavor them a little like twice-baked potatoes here.) They also sell them at Oktoberfest, but I've never had them fried. Just boiled with butter.

I make the world's awesomest Nuclear Death Perogies. Boil them for a while, then saute them in a pan with some oil and cayenne. Sprinkle liberally with salt and hot pepper, and serve.

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

No. O_o

In our language, they're pronounced pero-hay

I'm part Ukrainian, and my grandma is first generation Canadian, fully Ukrainian. And she makes the BEST perogies in the world.

We usually eat them with sour cream and fried onions. Sometimes bacon bits. Inside is a potato and spice mix.

The ones with blueberries inside are dessert perogies. Those are really good too, but much harder to make.
