| | Pierogi - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Pierogi are of virtually untraceable Central or Eastern European origin; claims have been staked for the Poles, Russians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Rusyns, Slovaks, and the Czechs. |
 | | Similarity to dumplings found in the Far East such as Chinese pot-stickers fuels speculation, well-founded or not, that the Mongols and Tatars brought the recipe to the West. |
 | | In Russian cuisine, pirozhki (also piroshki, or Ukrainian pyrizhky) are small stuffed buns made of either yeast dough or short pastry. |
