We love our #polish perogies :) Here are some of our favourite fun facts: >>> The word pierogies is popular in the U.S. and Canada because it underlines a ‘plurality’ of this well-known Polish food. However, this usage is not so appropriate since in fact, the word ‘pierogi’ is already plural in the Polish language.... >>> Pierogi enjoyed brief popularity as a sports food when Paula Newby-Fraser adopted them as her food of choice for the biking portion of the 1989 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. >>> October 8th is National Pierogi Day. >>> The Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team organizes a ‘pierogi race’ during their games. Four types of pierogi called Sauerkraut Saul, Cheese Chester, Jalapeno Hannah and Oliver Onion take part. >>> A small village Glendon, Alberta, Canada unveiled its roadside tribute to Ukrainian pyrogy in 1991. Glendon’s pyrogy is a huge statue of one pierogi put on the fork. The statue is 25-foot height, weights 6000 pounds and is made of fibreglass and steel. >>> The largest edible pierogi was made during Pierogi Fest in Whiting, Indiana. It was a 92-pounds huge pierogi. >>> In November 2005, a woman claimed she had an image of Jesus Christ seared into the side of a pierogi she made. Her family placed the pierogi on eBay and netted $1,775.
