Is it perogies or peroshkies?

Hi, Zbyszek!
Yes, now is a good season for berries.
Our zone - the south of the Poltava area - is a forest - steppe zone. Half of forests are coniferous. Unfortunately there are a few of wild berries. We found strawberries and blackberries.
In childhood I lived in Byelorussia near Gomel. There were a lot of berries and mushrooms. We lived in a countryside near forests.
Now we cook vareniki with cherries.
We say "yahoda (yagoda)".

Some say:
" The way to man's heart passes through his stomach."

Varenyku with potato mushed with homemade cheese, ⌠linyvi■ or lazy varenyky with ⌠shkvarky■ or bacon and cheese!!! Mmmmm...
One time I had a big party in my home, there where people from quiet few different countries and of course we have all those different national dishes. So... one couple was from Russia, and the husband requested ahead of the time: ⌠You▓re Ukrainian, you know how to make warenyky? I love them, and I try them so long ago, please make them for me■. I was more than glad to make the whole big pot of varenyky. I will always remember how the happy guy glue to the pot with varenyky munching them all to the last and not living the good spot. He made my heart so happy; this was the highest appreciation of my cooking ever.

I have wanted to find out how to make a really delightfull dish that my mother in law used to make and it sounds very much like what you are talking about here.
It was as I remember them they are pan fried minced meat bacon and rice with some herbs (herbs unknown and hard to get the same taste without knowing ) the fried meat & rice is then rolled into slightly blanched cabbage leaves, brushed with honey and baked in the oven untill golden brown but not burned.
Are we talking about the same thing and if we are can someone please tell me how to make this as my mother inlaw has passed away & my wife & I can't remember what herbs are used.
Kind regards
Colesy

Golubtzi is mighty good eating.Have you tryed it,stuffed with salmon and rice? MMMM-mmm-mmm...
Now,from what I know,pierogi is a Ukrainian version of pielmeni-a Tatar food.The diff. is-pielmeni have raw meat inside,and pierogi-cooked.Purozhki is wholle other thing.They're baked or fried,they're bigger,than pierogi's,and unlike pierogies,they're eatten with your hand.'couse they're big...Cossaks call them(purozhki) "boursak".Tatars call them "che-borek".
