Well...perhaps not. I thought when my hubby came home from his LDS Mission to Toronto Canada, that Pierogy were a staple of Canada. However - in researching today's holiday, I discovered they are a Polish and Eastern Europe item, that was brought over here and has quite the following in the US as well. So...not so much Canadian in origin, but they like them too. ;)
It’s National Pierogi Day!
If you’ve seen the movie
Men in Black, there’s a scene where they are in
a restaurant eating these.
They are a
little time consuming to make, but they sure taste good.
;)

Most people would think of them as a type of dumpling (which would also
explain my hubby liking them…he’s quite a dumpling fan). I think they are similar to potstickers, so
there ya go.
We have yet to have tried to
make them ourselves. I’m just not really
into the heavy prep and work for a small bite, lol. So, we buy them already made. We used to be able to get them cheap at the
Rainbow Market that was in Fort Lane, but now have to buy them at the regular
grocery store. As a result, we don’t eat
them a lot, so tonight’s dinner should be a treat. ;)
Have you had them? Which flavor is your favorite? We like the potato and cheese best…but I’m
thinking it would be nice to try with mushrooms.
Anyway – there’s your food
history lesson for the day.
Have a good one!
