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?

Perogies are a dumpling-like Norweigan treat. A dough/pasta crust is stuffed (usually with mashed potatoes +/- cheese or bacon or cottage cheese), and then boiled. Some people pan fry afterwards, to make them crunchy. Apparently, some people deep fry them. Often served with sour cream +/- bacon bits or fried onions. My family sometimes has applesauce with them, but I'm told we're unique in this.
