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" (ΠΏΠΈΡΠΎΠΆΠΊΠΈΜ) and "pirogi" (singular "pirog", Russian ΠΏΠΈΡΠΎΠ³ΠΈΜ) 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 (ΠΏΠΈΡΠΎΠ³ΠΈΜ, ΠΏΠΈΡΡΠΆΠΊΠΈΜ) may refer to either the Polish "pierogi" or the Russian "pirozhki".
