What does PIROG mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large baked pie of Russian and Eastern European origin, filled with meat, fish, cabbage, or fruit and typically cut into slices for serving.
A pirog is baked whole in a single large dish rather than shaped into individual portions, which sets it apart from the smaller hand-held pastries called pirozhki that share the same root word. Home cooks across Russia, Ukraine and Poland build a pirog around a savoury or sweet filling enclosed in yeasted or short pastry, then bake it until the crust turns golden. A pirog often appears at family gatherings and holiday tables, where it is sliced and shared rather than eaten individually. The word entered English through transliteration from Russian, and cookbooks sometimes list it alongside its plural form pirogi.
