Definitions and meaning of pierogi

pierogi

Alternative forms

  • perog, pierog, pieróg, pirojki, pyrogy, pyrohy

Etymology

Borrowed from Polish pierogi, the plural of pieróg (“dumpling”), which ultimately is derived from Proto-Slavic *pirъ (“party”). Unrelated to Turkish börek.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /pəˈɹoːɡi/, IPA(key): /pɛˈɾoːɡi/ (amongst Polish Americans)
  • Hyphenation: pier‧ogi

Noun

pierogi (plural pierogi or pierogies or pierogis)

  1. (Canada, US) 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" (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".

Synonyms

  • varenyky/vareniki (plural)
  • pelmeni (plural)
