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.

Wonder if those are better/cheaper than Costco
Which are delicious by the way
costco has em for 2.6 pounds for $5. great deal. reviews say not bad. although potato is rather cheap and boring stuffing. what do you top them with?
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.
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.
The dankies:
@brenticus@lemmy.world is right. Very simple yet very comforting.
Brent Icus, you’re boiling them?
But but but best results
So we should try the boil eh
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?
piroshki is like an empanada, baked pastry outside. pierogi is like ravioli, boiled dumpling
