mmm.. did you make the perogies yourself or did you buy them? i just bought some frozen ones today.

nah, they're just store-brought frozen pierogies... probably the same brand (Mrs. T's) you bought? really cheap and good though...

Mrs. T's pierogies contain egg (both the sauerkraut and the potato and onion kind). Is there another brand by you that is vegan? We miss pierogies since Health is Wealth stopped making vegan one.

Shoot, I checked before and could've sworn they were vegan. But yeah, I just looked at the website and you're right, eggs are lurking at the end of the ingredient list. Sad. I don't know of any other brands that are vegan, but if anyone else has suggestions that'd be great...

I just wrote to Mrs. T's to request that they make vegan pierogies and got this response. Maybe if enough people write them they'll take out the eggs...

Hello Josh,

Thank you for taking the time to contact Mrs.T's Pierogies. We do have Vegan Pierogies for sale but they are sold only in a foodservice size bag of 48 count in the Shop Rite stores.

Dear Mrs. T's,

Would you please consider removing the eggs from your potato and onion pierogies? Until recently I egularly purchased your pierogies, but I just found out that they contain a small amount of egg. Since they are not vegan I will no longer be purchasing them, but along with other vegans I would be very grateful if you could sell a vegan alternative. Since there is such a small amount of egg I suspect that the pierogies would be just as good without it, and more people would be able to buy them.

Thanks,
Josh Lerner
