Yeah, but say someone called your name in the street, you turned around and smack! They'd either have a pair of boxed ears or two black eyes! :eek: :D

Well it would certainly make a statement.

I think most guys would avoid a woman wearing those as earings.

Gives the word "butch" a whole new meaning. :D:D:D:D

Basic explanation.

Perogies, they're dumplings a.k.a. "stuffed grain-flour pockets" that can be stuffed with anything that can survive frying, baking or boiling.

Much smaller usually bite sized or perhaps two bites.

More of a Ukrainian or Polish background.

Vaguely, BUT MUCH smaller (and tastier). Should served with soured cream, bacon bits or similar.
Not really Canadian, more of a Balkan thing brought over originally (so I've been told) by the Ukranians but Wilmore will probably tell us it was the Poles that brought the idea. :D
