For the curious: the singular is pieróg
That makes it sound Hungarian(?)
Sure makes me hungry 🥁
This is an ancient slavic word.
Before the XIX century they were called "Piróg" ("peeroog"). This word's ethymology indicates proto-slavic origins - "pir" in old slavic meant a feast/celebration and "róg" still means "horn" in polish. So basically a "party horn".
