What
Makes a Good Perogy?
A really good perogy will have a thin and tender dough and lots
of natural (no flakes or powders) filling inside and should make
you say "these are deeeeeeelicious" or "doosha dobra perogy".
Once you have the first bite you shouldn't be able to stop until
your stomach feels ready to BURST. And if a perogy is precooked
then all you have to do is heat it up and eat it up in your favorite
serving style. My baba says CHEEMO perogies are all of the above
and they're all ready for you to heat and eat. That means you
don't have to make your own from scratch, which can take a few
hours but can be a lot of "fun".

Are
Perogies Good for You?
Do cows moo? They're good for you. Actually, perogies themselves
are basically pasta and potato, with added ingredients such as
cheese or onion for flavor, so their nutritional value is better
than you might think. In fact, five large CHEEMO Cheddar and Potato
perogies have only one gram of fat. And they're a great source
of carbohydrates. The added calories come from some of the ways
traditional perogy eaters consume their perogies. For example,
one truly delicious way to chow down on perogies is to serve them
with sauteed onions, sour cream, and bacon bits. You can see how
these little extras might add a few calories to a meal.

What
are the Origins of Perogy?
The perogy, pierogi, pyrohy, vereniki... is a food item of uncertain
origins. Some say it was brought to Italy from the Orient as a
pasta pocket food by the famous explorer Marco Polo. Its introduction
to eastern Europe may have been through Poland over 500 years
ago. At that time Queen Bonna of Italy married King Zygmut of
Poland and the pierogi was introduced to Poland around that time.
From Poland pierogi found their way to other Eastern European
countries such as Ukraine and Russia. In Ukraine the word "vereniki"
- the boiled ones - is used to refer to these delicious pasta
products. In Russia, meat filled pasta pockets are referred to
as "pilmeni". Whatever their origins, perogy are now enjoyed all
over the world by people of all ethnicities. Go ahead, try some,
you'll love them.
