I was born in Milwaukee (German) and currently live in a far Milwaukee suburb...I never heard of them by that name or saw them until now.
Greg; My wife refers to Pierogis as Polish Ravioli. During the major league baseball season, the Pittsburgh Pirates have a Pierogi race, similar to the Sausage race in Milwaukee, and the Presidents race in National's Park. Pierogis are found in Polish and Ukrainian neighborhoods in nearly all population centers. Back in the old neighborhood, my neighbor used to make home made Pierogis every Friday, that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. She always sent a large platter full over to our house. Each group of people had their own version of similar pastas and pastries. Much of the Kosher food sold around here is similar to what my mother and grandmother (Lithuanian Catholic) prepared. Some was good, some not...
One of my favorites, is Italian Tomato Pie which is Not Pizza, BTW. Most easily procured in Trenton and Newark NJ.
