For purely healing purposes, I'd have to say Pierogies are superior to Dragonpie for one simple reason: time.

Even with Bundling Wraps to preserve them.

Say you want a sustainable method to make a stack of 40. You're going to need 40 Dragonfruit, and enough extra that you can generate enough Crop Seeds to replant your Farms. Given a return of about 1.5 Crop Seeds per Dragonfruit fed to a Bird, that's about 120 total Dragonfruit you're going to be harvesting and replanting. You're also going to have to collect 120 twigs/ice.

Dragonfruit has a *6* day spoilage timer, which starts ticking the moment you harvest them and will heavily factor into the Dragonpie's 15 day spoilage timer (which gives you less than 7.5 days before it turns yellow and heals for less). Dragonpie takes 40 seconds to cook, so unless you have 40 Crock Pots set up with 3 twigs in each already ready to go (which takes a ton of time on its own), you'll probably spend a good amount of time holding onto a bunch of (aging) Dragonfruit or spending a lot of time unwrapping and rewrapping Bundling Wraps.

So now you have 40 Dragonpie and are ready to go Ruins Diving / Boss Fighting, you're going to want to have some ready to use in your inventory and not in a Bundling Wrap. That means any pie you DON'T end up using during the Fight / Exploring will lose a good chunk of its 7 day timer from future uses.

Now for Pierogies: Have 10 Mushroom Planters. Have a source of Monster Meat (I like using Spider Egg + Rock Lobster pen). Turn the Meat into eggs, and repeat until you have 80 eggs. Eggs starting to go bad? Cook them and feed them to a Bird. You now have fresh eggs again. Collect 40 more Monster Meat. You can cook it immediately to give it a 15 day timer (which will get extended again when it goes into a crock pot), or throw it in a Bundling Wrap until you have all 40. Harvest the Planters. Now you have 80 fresh eggs, 40 fresh mushrooms, and 40 (relatively) fresh meat.

Cook them into 40 pierogies, which only have a 20 second cook time. You now have a stack of Pierogies which heal for the same amount as Dragonpie, but has a spoilage timer of 20 days instead of 15.

Bonus: Wigfrid eats Pierogies.
