Чем польские пироги отличаются от русских пельменей?
Pelmeni belong to the family of dumplings, and are related to Ukrainian "varenyky" and Polish "pierogi". In the United States and Canada, the term "pierogi" or "perogies" is often used to describe all kinds of Eastern European dumplings, regardless of the shape, size, or filling. Pelmeni are also similar to Mongolian "bansh", Chinese "jiaozi" (Cantonese "gaau") or Chinese "húndùn" (Cantonese wonton). They are cousins to the Turkish and Kazakh "manti", the Nepalese and Tibetan "momo", the Uzbek "chuchvara", the Korean "mandu", and the Japanese "gyoza" and Italian "tortellini".
