A little correction, the name “ruskie pierogi” comes not from Russia but from Red Ruthenia/Red Rus, or Ruś Czerwona in Polish, a region in western Ukraine.
As all dishes, it’s not from a specific country, but from a region of the world. Eastern Europ in this case. When we fill them with potatoes, we call it russian style. Apparently Russians like carbs.
In Poland we have Greek style fish, Ukrainian borscht and Russian pierogi. None of which have anything to do with the place they are named after.
I forgot about French pastry. Which I just puff pastry, but we call it French pastry for some reason. Doesn’t it come from Ireland?
