I am Ivy's girlfriend, and a slovak.  pierogi in my family meant three
things:
     A small ravoli size noodle dough pocket stuff with anything.  favorites
in my family                were prunes, apricots and potato and cheese
      same as above only made with bread dough.
       A pagach (pizza size) pocket with potato, cheese and cabbage or
saurekraut.

i was raised by my grandmother and she made all three.  traditionally served
as a part of  the christmas eve feast, which is a meat less meal.  there are
several recipes that are old such as the mushroom soup also served.

places to look:  i have found the recipes in literature about the slovak
christmas eve feast.  i have also found some recipes at a web site.
 byzantine catholics have a strong slovak influence.  I am also one of those.
 Thier church cookbooks have the recipe. I am going home in October,  if you
can't find it let me know.  i will get it from gram.
i just looked at the web site and the recipe is there.. i couldn't remember
if it was.  the site is for st. anne's bzantine catholic church:
