Where my grandparents moved when they first came America in the
20s, Allentown Pa, there is a section called The Ward where all sorts
of immigrants lived, not just the mainly arab ones. There were all
sorts. They serve perogies in Allentown saloons as deep-fried snacks
the way other areas serve french fries. But my grandmother made them
from scratch. We had them all sorts of ways. Boiled, Boiled and
then sauteed. Potatoes, potatoes and cheese, but also sauerkraut. It
was great to have all 3. The sauerkraut ones were great, but eaten
alone over and over again they could get boring. But to eat the
cheese and potato ones and then have one filled with sauerkraut was a
treat - or just picking one up and not knowing what you were getting,
that was a treat too. I liked them lightly fried. But I could also
eat them simply boiled.
