What about Beaver Tails (deep fried pastry served with granulated sugar 
and cinnamon) I know these have different names in other places.  We had 
some visitors from Norway and introduced them this delicacy and they 
were absolutely appalled at the volume of sugar on it.

I know many of my friends have issues when I make strawberry, or other 
fruit perogies, and serve them with sour cream and a bit of salt.

My parents made bacon and strawberry jam sandwiches (toasted).
