    Are… pirogi and piroshki … basically the same thing, but from … differing slavic languages, or different dialects… or are they actually different food in some way?

    I used to go to Piroshky Piroshky all the time when I lived in Seattle… it seems like the same thing?

          Pelmeni are usually filled with raw minced meat, while pierogi can be filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients, such as cheese, potatoes, fruit, cabbage, or sauerkraut.

      In the actual Slavic languages, “pirog” (or adjacent roots) just means a pie. “Piroshki” is the same root but with a diminutive suffix.
