Yes they are...but they taste so good. I hate to burst your
bubble, but this world is so messed up, you have more to worry
about that overfed and medicated beef.
@Kuali Baba: I LOOOOOOVE pierogi! Where I'm from in
PA, we eat them like french fries.
DIY carne asada here doesn't taste quite the same...
but if you think grain-fed factory beef is great, wait til you try
the Tallgrass pasture-fed beef. Most Australian and NZ beef here is
pasture-fed, so imagine the world of difference that it makes.
Nevermind the pierogi made by Polish Americans or
Trader Joe's, I've had it in Poland itself.
