A characteristic, traditional Polish dish similar to ravioli and dumplings. Made of folded pasta bread with a filling, frequently cottage cheese and mashed potatoes (this form is called "pierogi ruskie", lit. "Russian pierogi", which is a non-indicative name as the dish is not from Russia). They can also be made with meat, spinach, wild strawberries and other fillings. Pierogi are served cooked, sometimes cooked and fried, with a topping. The topping can be fried onion, skwarki (Polish form of pork rind, cut up into small dice and deep-fried) or sometimes smetana (sour heavy cream). Important note: "Pierogies" is a glaring and bad grammatical error, it's a double plural. "Pierogi" is the correct plural and "pieróg" 'pjεrug ("pyeh-roog") is the real singular. Polish people are happy to remind every foreigner who makes this mistake. Also, it's "pierogi", not "pierogie".
