Pirog

Pirog or pyrih (, pl. pirogi пироги ; ; ; pl. pīrāgi; , pl. pyrohy пироги) is a baked case of dough with a sweet or savoury filling. Pirogi are common in Eastern European cuisines. Pirogi are characterised as "the most popular and important dish" and "truly national goods" of Russian cuisine, "ubiquitous in Russian life".

The name is derived from the ancient Proto-Slavic word pir, meaning "banquet" or "festivity". The Russian plural pirogi with the stress on the last syllable should not be confused with pierogi (stress on "o" in Polish and English) in Polish cuisine, which are similar to the Russian pelmeni or Ukrainian varenyky.
