maybe for these pumpkin or apple or basil shops a more generic category (there is https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfarm ) can make sense, with a subtag for the kind of produce they sell, but food is very important for all of us and we do indeed mostly tag dedicated classes for these, like bakery, butcher, greengrocer, wine, deli, supermarket, convenience, so if there are dedicated pierogi shops I would tag them as this. You would not want to find them if you search for “food”, you search for pierogi if you wanted to find them. There is shop=pasta where I think pierogi could fit, “food” is too generic.
