pierogi (plural pierogi or pierogies or pierogis)

• Russian "pirozhki" (пирожки́ (pirožkí)) and "pirogi" (singular "pirog", Russian пироги́ (pirogí)) and Polish pierogi (diminutive: "pierożki") (dumplings) are often confused. The two dishes are quite different, as pirozhki are filled buns, baked or fried, and pirogi are pies; the Ukrainian version of the Polish pierogi are called varenyky. In some western regions of Ukraine, the term пироги́ may refer to the Ukrainian version the Polish "pierogi", while пиріжки́ are similar to the Russian "pirozhki".
