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.

Shops selling pierogi are definitely not shop=pasta

and I was thinking about shop=food food=pierogi or something similar
for places like https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3033173319

maybe shop=food main_food=pierogi to avoid food key ending with
multiple uses?

or shop=prepared_meals (almost ready for eating but requiring heating/boiling)

there is shop=frozen_food not fitting shops selling food that is prepared and not
frozen
