Large oval shaped Pierogies

My grandmother used to make pierogies that were wonderful (as did everyone's Polish grandmother I'm sure). Hers were large and oval shaped with no pinched corners. I've never seen pierogies shaped like hers and can't get mine to look like hers did. Anyone know if pierogies like this were just her own touch or if these shapes were of a regional origin? (She was from Tarnov).

You can form pierogis in any shape you want.

Following on from Alphabetti Spaghetti, how about "Moggy & Doggy Pierogi" - pierogi shaped like household pets?

There is a bar here in Gliwice near the beautiful Peter and Paul cathedral. Next to ZUS too :(

It serves huge ones, 7 for 5PLN. It's a meal which will keep you full for a few hours.

The Japanese have sth called gyouza, it's not too dissimilar. They are filled with peas and meat. VERY tasty. You can eat them at izakayas, places to drink beer and enjoy some quality snack-style food. I miss izakayas, many a good time was spent there.

Thanks all for your comments! Was wondering if hers were similar to any regional styles. I've heard that there are some local communities that make them similar to my grandmother's but the size of dinner plates!
