This has already been mentioned.

No, it has not. Pirogi and pirozhki are not the same -- the contents are different.

To educate those who are ignorant of the difference:
Pirogi -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi
Pirozhki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirozhki

Sorry, man, there is no Russian in the whole world that would call pelmeni as "pirogi".

The word "pirogi" means "pies" in Russian, like kulebyaka or other pastries with fillings. "Pirozhki" means "little pies" - there's a diminuitive suffix added with a consonant change.

I knew this difference perfectly well, so it is you who's just shown his ignorance here. I don't care if Russians and Poles are all the same to you, but the latter may object to this

This is a Russian history Baker's dozen and Russian food should be called the way Russians name it. You could've named it "raviolli" as well.

Here's some info for your gastronomical education: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni

[Skoblin]

As far as I know (and always ready to be corrected), what we in the West call perogies are not the same thing as what the Russians call pirogi. Pirogi are cooked in an oven and resemble Cornish pasties that you can get in Britain. Pelmeni - on the other hand - are boiled in water and thus resemble perogies, but there are differences in fillings compared to what we usually encounter in perogies. Then again - I may be wrong....

Yes, I can go into more hairsplitting, but generally this is right. As far as pirozhki have already been mentioned here, there's no need to post pirogi - their bigger versions.
