Pierogi (also perogi, perogy, pirohi, piroghi, pirogi, pirogen, piroshke or pyrohy), from the Proto-Slavic "pir" (festivity) is the name most commonly used in English speaking areas to refer to a variety of Slavic semicircular (or, in some cuisines, square) stuffed dumplings of unleavened dough and varying ingredients. Their specific origins are unknown; though they have strong ties to Slavic culture, similar foods occur in many cultures across Europe and Asia.

In some languages, they are known by words derived from the root of the word "to boil". These include the Belarusan vareniki (варэнiкi), Latvian vareņiki (borrowed from Russian), Russian vareniki (варе́ник[и]), Ukrainian varenyky (варе́ник[и]) (literally "boiled thing," from the adjective form varenyy). In these languages, words derived from "pir", such as the Russian pirogi (пироги) refer to a different type of food.

Singular and plural

Pierogi are usually small enough to be served several or many at a time, so the singular form is rather rare; people usually talk about several of them. This has affected forms of the word in different languages.


In Polish, pierogi is plural, pieróg being singular (dashed o does not denote stress in Polish, but changes the pronunciation to English oo, like in look). Similarly, in Swedish, one of them would be a pirog while the plural form is created by adding -er at the end. Other Slavic languages follow that scheme (Ukrainian pyrizhky).


Many English-speakers, however, treat the names as singular and form the plural by adding -s, thus to many English speakers "pierogi" would be one dumpling, and "pierogies" would be several. Similarly for the Russian pirozhki. The singular is the rarely-encountered pirozhok, but one usually buys or eats more than one pirozhok. Hence the plural pirozhki is the term usually used, and many English speakers, not realising this is already plural, re-pluralise it as "pirozhkis". The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...


Origins

Pierogi are of an unknown origin. Myth has it that were invented in the kitchen of humble shoemaker Jonathan Hanigosky. He later died from choking on a rather large perogi. Friends say he died doing the only thing he loved. Eating perogis They have strong links to Slavic culture. These Slavic and non-Slavic peoples have Pierogi as a part of their culture: Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, Russians, Lithuanians, Latvians, and Slovaks. There is a definite similarity to Italian ravioli. In East Asia, similar food is served, such as Chinese jiaozi, Japanese gyoza, and Korean mandoo. In some of the Indian states, similar steamed or deep-fried pastries are served, called as karanji or gujiya. These can have sweet or savoury fillings, are usually a semi-circular shape that has has crimped or fluted edges, not unlike the pierogi. Ukraine (Україна, Ukrayina in Ukrainian; Украина in Russian) is a republic in eastern Europe which borders Russia to the east, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the west, Romania and Moldova to the southwest and the Black Sea to the south. ...

Mashed potatoes with farmer's cheese and onion are the most common filling and they are often called Ruskie pierogi. These pierogi come from Poland.

"Ruskie pierogi" therefore refers to Ruś rather than Russia.

Pierogi in various nations, regions, and ethnicities

North America

Pierogi are widespread in Canada and the United States, having been popularized not only by Slavic immigrants, but also the Mennonites. They are thus particularly common in areas with large Slavic-derived populations. Pierogi at first were a family food among immigrants as well as being served in ethnic restaurants. In the post-World War II era, freshly cooked pierogi became a staple of fundraisers by ethnic churches.

Poland

Pierogi (singular pieróg) are served in a variety of forms and tastes (ranging from sweet to salty to spicy) in Polish cuisine. Pierogi were traditionally peasants' food, but eventually spread in popularity throughout all social classes, including nobles. They are served at many festivals, playing an important role as a cultural Polish dish. At the 2007 Pierogi Festival in Krakow, 30,000 pierogi were consumed daily. Polish pierogi are often filled with quark, potatoes and fried onion; in such a form, they are called Ruskie Pierogi. Poles traditionally serve two types of pierogi for Christmas Eve supper. One kind is filled with sauerkraut and dried mushrooms, another - small uszka, only with dried wild mushrooms is eaten with barszcz.

The diminutive form of pirog, pirozhok (пирожок; singular) or pirozhki (plural, sometimes transliterated as piroshki or the Ukrainian pyrizhky) is a generic word for a baked or fried stuffed pastry. A common variety of them are baked stuffed buns made from yeast dough and often glazed with egg to produce the common golden colour. They may contain sweet-based fillings such as stewed fruit, jam, or cottage cheese; a vegetable filling (mashed potatoes, mushrooms, onions and egg, cabbage); meat or fish. The buns may be plain and stuffed with the filling, or else be made in a free-form style with strips of dough decoratively encasing the filling. The stress in pirozhki is properly placed on the last syllable: [piroʒˈki]. A diminutive is a formation of a word used to convey a slight degree of the root meaning, smallness of the object or quality named, encapsulation, intimacy, or endearment. ...


As mentioned above, Polish speakers often call mashed potatoes with farmer's cheese and onion Ruthenian pierogi (Polish: Ruskie pierogi).


Armenia

In Armenia, this stuffed bun is called 'Piroshki', which was brought into the Armenian Food Platter during Pre-soviet times, when Eastern Armenia was part of the Russian empire, and continued along to the times of the Soviet Union, and can still be found being made freshly on the streets of the many cities of Armenia today. In Armenia Piroshki is most commonly made with two different fillings: meat or potatoes.


Ukraine

Ukraine has some of the same word differentiation complexity as Russia made even more complex by differences among immigrant populations. Many North Americans of Ukrainian descent use the term pierogi, but the term varenyky or vareniki (from varyt', "to boil") may also be used, and Ukrainians also prepare the somewhat similar pelmeni. Pyrohi (пироги) in Ukraine refers to a type of baked or fried dumpling generally served as dessert, filled with fruit or poppy seeds and made with a sweeter dough than that of the Varenyky.
