Don, think Eastern European ravioli (Italian but better known, perhaps).
A filled noodle dough (as opposed to a yeast dough or another type bread
dough). Pierogi is the Polish word for them, pirohy is the Slovak word
(we're neighbors on the Continent, doncha know; in some parts of Ukraine
they are called varenyky. You will only hear me refer to them as pirohy
because I am a nice Slovak girl, purebred. Dobru' chut'!
