PIEROGI

Etymology

Noun

pierogi (plural pierogi or pierogies or pierogis)

(North America) A square- or crescent-shaped dumpling of unleavened dough, stuffed with sauerkraut, cheese, mashed potatoes, cabbage, onion, meat, or any combination of these, or with a fruit filling.

Usage notes

• Russian "pirozhki" (пироТки́) and "pirogi" (singular "pirog", Russian пироги́) and Polish pierogi (diminutive: "pieroΕΌki") (dumplings) are often confused. The two dishes are quite different. See pelmeni for the Russian version of the Polish pierogi. In certain regions of Ukraine, these terms (пироги́, пиріТки́) may refer to either the Polish "pierogi" or the Russian "pirozhki".

Synonyms

• varenyky/vareniki (plural)
