Okay, so... Nearly all y'all have.

I was recently speaking with someone about them and they had never heard of them before. I was wondering if it was a very renationalized food or something. I have eaten them pretty much all my life but I was curious if they just weren't popular in other parts of the country.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. PA has a huge Slavic tradition... To the east it is the Amish. To the west, it is the Pols.

It turns out that I prefer mine prepared in the Jewish tradition; boiled then fried.

[QUOTE]United States

In the United States, the term pierogi or pierogies is commonly taken to mean Polish pierogi.
