    There is a food truck with the same name in Grande Prairie Alberta, doubt it would be closer but at least it is out there.

    just wanted to point out that pierogi is basically russian ravioli, and you can buy them by the pound in ethnic supermarkets for like $5. add your own sauce and yum for cheap.

          Potato and cheese is classic, and honestly it hits the spot better than you might expect. Toss with butter after boiling. Keeps them from sticking and tastes great.

          Commonly topped with sour cream, green onions, other onions, and/or bacon depending on what you have handy. A nice fatty sour cream with grilled yellow onions is my favourite, especially served with a nice hunk of garlic sausage.

            I find pan frying them works best if they’re leftovers, the dough fries up better after it’s boiled and then dried out a little. It’s a very good option for sure.

          They used to be $6 at my local Costco until they jacked up the price to $11.

          Never forgave Costco for that. I liked these perogies.

      Are… pirogi and piroshki … basically the same thing, but from … differing slavic languages, or different dialects… or are they actually different food in some way?

      I used to go to Piroshky Piroshky all the time when I lived in Seattle… it seems like the same thing?

            Pelmeni are usually filled with raw minced meat, while pierogi can be filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients, such as cheese, potatoes, fruit, cabbage, or sauerkraut.

        In the actual Slavic languages, “pirog” (or adjacent roots) just means a pie. “Piroshki” is the same root but with a diminutive suffix.

    There must be several of these because there’s a food truck with the same name in my area that looks nothing like this one

      The OG is in Kraków, Poland.
      There’s also one in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada.

      I’m sure there’s a couple more around.
