I usually get Sophies Choice. I use them quickly.
This time I waited over a week.
When I opened the package they were wet, as drops of water all over and in the package.
I hope this doesn’t mean anything was wrong with them as I am eating them now.
Am I safe?
Were they frozen or just in the fridge? What kind of packaging are they in?
In the fridge. Sophies plastic packaging.
Following up on @TriPolar’s question: were they sold to you frozen, or refrigerated, or “fresh” in the plastic packaging.
If frozen, I often see (depending on the temp of the fridge) that some moisture will come out of pasta or other fresh-frozen ingredients as it reaches 40ish in the fridge. It’s never been an issue for me for food safety (again, assuming it’s NOT been frozen/thawed/frozen cycled) but it has adversely affected cooking and texture. And if it spent much time in that state, I’d start to worry, but if it was just a day or so, with no other signs or compromised packaging? I doubt it. However, if you’re digestively or immune compromised in any way you might want to be cautious.
I seem to be okay. Yes, I bought it refrigerated, and it said use or freeze by 10/24/2024.
You’re talking about the Polish dumpling things, right?
pierogis or pierogies
The spelling “perogies” has already confused one Doper.
They probably arrive at the grocery store frozen, nearly frozen, or kept frozen by the store. So it’s not surprising to find condensation on them. If they were in sealed plastic bag I wouldn’t worry about it. You are going to cook them aren’t you?
Yes, fried and eaten.
You’d think a Polish woman would know how to spell pierogis.
I think you can claim hunger-induced brain spasm.
Now that the question has been answered - what a terrible company/line name.
Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks so…
Or if we’re being pedantic, pierogi. The singular is “pierog”.
In my experience, “perogies” is the most common spelling in Canada. Yes, even when referring to pierogi or varenyky.
