As someone who is fourth generation Polish in America--basically all that's left at that point is food and people butchering your last name--is that even though pirogi is plural in Polish, plenty of Americans have made pirogis the plural in English.

I've seen this phenomenon with other things where Americans often miswrite/mispronounce names just because "it's what we call it here" and I always find it amusing.
