We've discusse this a little in the past. We'd love to get more info
though. Unfortunately, the sources for Eastern Europe foods are either
not extensive or haven't been translated yet.

You might want to look through this new Florilegium file in the FOOD
section though:
pierogies-msg     (12K)  8/ 2/01    Stuffed dumplings/pies from Eastern Europe.
