Are... pirogi and piroshki ... basically the same thing, but from ... differing slavic languages, or different dialects... or are they actually different food in some way?

I used to go to Piroshky Piroshky all the time when I lived in Seattle... it seems like the same thing?

    piroshki is like an empanada, baked pastry outside. pierogi is like ravioli, boiled dumpling

    Pelmeni are usually filled with raw minced meat, while pierogi can be filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients, such as cheese, potatoes, fruit, cabbage, or sauerkraut.
