These pierogi were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a more flavorful filling.

I'm not sure why, but my pierogi didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dough was too thick, and the filling was too bland. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

These pierogi were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been baked instead of fried.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pierogi turned out really dry. The dough was tough, and the filling was bland. I won't be making these again.
