How to ship pierogi from Poland to USA (not frozen)?

Does anybody know how to ship pierogi to USA without sending them frozen?

Is there a better way to preserve them?

This may sound a bit dumb but why don't you just make 'em yourself or employ a few Polish Babcias to make 'em! The logistics of shipping fresh pierogi to the States would be nigh on impossible ( I would have thought)

or employ babcias and send them to USA

cool :D

all you have to do is to learn how to make them yourself :)

Excuse me... a bit offtop. How do you cook pierogi? I heard it was some like Russian "pelmeni". We throw them frozen to a saucepan and boil for a while.

Mrs. T's perogis in the frozen food isle in the USA is great.

In Russia they are called VARENIKI..They are the same as Polish and Ukranian.
I just cant understand why people dont make their own.. There plenty recipes on the web.

What can be better than a fresh pierog right out of the boiling water and drained, then fried in butter and onions. UMMMMM!

and that gives you the additional benefit of knowing what's really inside.

Oh.. I see, thanks Franek! :) Just if "vareniki" stuffed with a meat we call them "pelmeni"; if the fill is curds, cheese, jam - then "vareniki".

Growing up, I watched my Mom make pierogi with plums..I remember her buying Damson plums or Italian plums..The finished product came out with a purple tint.. But I was told that there was another Polish Plum used... Anybody have any knowledge of this?

You can try to dry them, "suszone pierogi" a new thing on the market. Mmmmm. O.o.
Where you sending them from? I wouldn't want to smell something that was in the mail 2 weeks....Unless of course you want to poison someone with old fart-smelling pierogi...


Maybe the were called powidła, which is like plum marmolade?
or śliwki?

What is the best way to ship pierogi to US withour going broke?

good question. Why do you keep asking it over and over again?

Now I know how Polish Jokes got started....duh!!!!

You can swallow them in condoms and jump on a plane.
But whatever you do, don't make your own, I believe you can go to prison for that.
