Pierogi or pirogi (pronounced (:pɪˈroʊgi) ),〔In English, the word ''pierogi'' and its variants ''perogi'', ''pyrogy'', ''perogie'', ''perogy'', ''pirohi'', ''piroghi'', ''pirogi'', ''pirogen'', ''pierogy'', ''pirohy'', ''pyrogie'', and ''pyrohy'', are pronounced with stress on the letter "o".〕 also known as varenyky,〔The spelling ''vareniki'' adopted from Russian is also found in literature.〕 are filled dumplings of East European origin. They are made by wrapping pockets of unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking in boiling water. These dumplings are popular in Slavic (Polish, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian), Baltic (Latvian, Lithuanian) and other cuisines where they are known under local names. Pierogi and varenyky are especially associated with Poland and Ukraine where they are considered national dishes.〔. The dish was classified as "малороссийский" (''malorossiyskiy'', Little Russian), with "Малороссия" (''Malorossiya'', Little Russia) being at that time a common geographical term referring to the territory of modern-day Ukraine.〕〔 ()〕〔 ()〕〔 Pierogi are often semi-circular but triangular and rectangular ones are also found. Typical fillings include potato, sauerkraut, ground meat, cheese and fruits. The dumplings may be served with toppings, such as melted butter, sour cream or fried onion. == Etymology == The English word ''pierogi'' (plural: ''pierogi'', ''pierogies'' or ''pierogis'') comes from Polish ' (:pʲɛˈrɔgʲi), which is the plural from of ' (:ˈpʲɛruk), a generic term for filled dumplings. It derives from Old East Slavic (') and further from Proto-Slavic '' *pirъ'', "feast".〔Food Culture in Russia and Central Asia, 2005, p 75, By Glenn Randall Mack, Asele Surina〕 While dumplings as such are found throughout Eurasia, the specific name ''pierogi'', with its Proto-Slavic root and its cognates in the West and East Slavic languages, including Russian (', "pie") and (', "baked pastries"), shows the name's common Slavic origins, predating the modern nation states and their standardized languages. In most of these languages the word means "pie". ''Varenyky'' comes from Ukrainian ('), the plural form of ('), which derives from Ukrainian (') 'boiling liquid', indicating boiling as the primary cooking method for this kind of dumplings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierogi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
