Don't let the last name throw you. Mom and her clan were "WOJCIECHOWSKI's". For those of you that say you've never had this or that and want it changed by adding this or that, quit it. Eat them just as they are. Even with a touch of sour cream or powdered sugar depending on the ingredients. These are Eastern European dishes and delicacies that have been around a lot longer than your hot dogs or veggie burgers. And another thing......I learned from my mother, grandmother, aunts and great aunts that the only time you boil pierogi's is after you make them for pre-cooking prior to baking, pan frying or freezing for storage. And deep frying is an American thing. Other than that, pierogi's with its many different flavor stuffing's are a treat no matter when you have them.
