3. they're gone!
Actually believe it or not, in this area of BC Perogies are a traditional food. The area was settled by Duhkabors - Russian Exhiles. And if you go to for instance - Grand Forks - there's tons of restaurants that have russian dishes on the menu, as well as a proud heritage.

There was even a "terrrorist" movement in the 60s concerning the group...there was some kind of division between them (I think, not really knowledgable here)

5. Pittsburgh, PA, where I live, is famous for pierogies.
We are up to our ass in them.
