📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pirozhki are small buns loved in Russia and across the Slavic world, filled with ground meat, cabbage, potato, egg, and more, then fried or baked. They're a national snack easily bought at stalls and station kiosks, and at home they're baked in batches on weekends for teatime and light meals.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Moscow station kiosk, commuters get freshly fried pirozhki wrapped in paper and eat them while waiting for the train.
