My nana made the dough with sour cream. She was Ukrainian however so maybe some variations to do with locations. Best food ever.

It's actually called "belyásh" (accent on a last syllable) since it's fried in oil. Pirozhki' (accent on a last syllable also) is more broad term, but Russians only call pastry that was baked and fried on a skillet "pirozhky". Belyash comes from Tatar and Bashkir cuisine

What about baking them?

@eric blood What do you expect, he is a Pelosi loving, human feces dodging, San Fran Sissycan.

@@truthhurtz2793 uuhhhhh... What?

Same, along with the collusion bit. That was perfect.

@Doctor Drywell you ain't shittin' dude. My God what is going on is far worse than even I could've imagined. It will take us decades to undo the shitshow we have going on today.

Best John joke ever.

I think it’s amazing people still think our votes matter. The USA is a corporation owned and ran by the 1%. I’m not a Trump fan or a ridiculous Q fan. It’s a fact.

"Its the idiots and bigots who support him.... They arent... Its going to take..." It's always the geniuses calling people idiots who don't know simple punctuation and grammar. Emphasis on the "it's."

a Russian Market near me also makes them with potato or mushroom. Both delicious

Yummmm

My first idea is to make these with a pulled-pork type filling. Is that crazy?

@@EvaAdorable that sounds like it’d be really good. Then again, I’m also not Russian.

@@namingisdifficult408 Holy crap! I'm making a pork shoulder today and completely forgot about this! Thanks for reminding me. I'm definitely going to try it this week!

Hope and Grace growing up in Chicago I ate something very similar at Mexican bakeries. To this day I crave them!

If he is 79, then there are obvious health benefits to this food as well! : )

it's a little like a burrito, so why not.

MEAT DONUT

When you said mayo I knew instantly you're a fake Russian

Pistol Pete. You wrong we have jars of mayo in Russian houses. It’s very important to have mayo lmao , you must not know Russians

@@annadenisenko5093 Right, everyone says mayo; there's even a famous American medical clinic named after that delicious condiment!! LOL :D

To do this to a piroshok is blasphemy! You never grew up in a Russian household because this is desecration of a piroszhok! All kidding aside, this is not normal practice and so I have to confirm that this post is weird.

@@pistolpete8231 I am a first generation Russian and mayo is acceptable as a salad dressing and a bread spread. Mayo is a French invention but Napoleon forced it on Moscow, so we Russian do what we please with it. ;-)

The ones with cabbage are realy good too, my grandma makes them terrific

Lugnutz my family adds mashed potatoes in with the meat, and uses a thinner dough. That saved a lot of money when making them.

@@theextracrispycolonel8801 Oh, that sounds good, sort of a Shepard's pie meets meat donut thing!! Use ground lamb and you got it!! :D

“50 years ago”

Thank you!! He has a blog and they still come in here bitching. 80-90 percent of us love it, so...

That's the main reason I watch he's entertaining.

It doesn't bother me, but it is just funny how he puts emphasis on random words. His voice is very pleasant though, and the food looks good.

It IS a bit bizarre, but over time I got used to it. I love him and I love his recipes.

One of the biggest reasons I started watching Chef John was because of his voice! I find it so soothing!!

Nobody cares, fanboy. He is genuinely annoying to a lot of people, and you're not the gatekeeper of the internet. People watch and comment whatever the hell they want.

Bassfully, k.

Nobody gives a shit if you are annoyed. Crybaby.

Nobody gives a shit about your retorts. Moron.

:( i give a shit about his retort. and your retort. where is the love in this world :.)

I thought he' forgotten to say the line but he got us right at the end! I snickered like a little boy as usual.

Clay Mann I thought he wasn’t done his sentence lol

Lmao

The Russian trolls are going to take over the comments section

@Jen C "The Russian trolls are going to take over the comments section". Nah, the Russians don't care. But the DNC are going to take over the comments section

@shr00msNeither did the Democrats...

@shr00ms during the 2016 U.S. elections the Great Almighty Cheeto was accused of colluding with the Russians to rig the election. This is a background topic still.

The president of the United states pissed off the dems and they made up a bunch of bs to try and get votes.

@@Dr.TbOne34 you may wish to revisit the topic of the Mueller report.

@@oompaloompagrande the Mueller report exonerated him where the fuck have you been. surely not reading.

Damn capitalists ruining everything

yeah _ my bad that we don't starve our people

yeah _ and the winner of the idiotic pinko award goes too...

We will fight for pirozhki freedom... and hold our flaky heads high! We will run free with the calzone... or die!

Da, Tovarich.

free pizza would be my 2 favorite words

Well, you got here 1st... This Time!.... and yeah, it IS Magic!

I meet donuts for coffee every morning...

Yes.

I’m saying this as a friend...get different glasses.

Ahhhh, Food wishes and Glen and friends cooking in the same place! The crossover collab of my dreams.

OMG this comment makes me so happy. 2 of my favorite cooking channels... is this inception?

Is it just me or is the way he talks very annoying...he accentuates words in the weirdest places...great recipes though

Tami Dumanske - it’s definitely just you. That’s one of the things I love best about chef John. He has the most amazing voice!!

VV VB it became his signature. Whenever I heard it, I know it's food wishes, I know it's chef John :) His voice is the only thing they keep complaining about cause he's good xD

I love his voice - "Helloooo this is Chef John froom Foood Wiishes.com wiiiiith...." :D

Perfect! Simply perfect! 😄 His voice brings me joy!

I love it. It's the perfect thing to listen to while I eat and wind down after work

It's bizarrely hypnotic, i got linked to one recipe and have now watched a dozen in a row.

I'm Greek and always thought they were of balkan or russian origin.

"Naw, Vee Russians inwented it"! Signed: Ensign Pavel Chekov !!

Strangely Greeks are super represented in the deep south, especially in the restaurant industry. There's basically no mid sized or larger city that doesn't have at least one Greek place that's at least 100 years old.

PERFECT!

What does LMAO mean? Somebody ? Anybody?

@@kaybower8539 "laughing my ass off"

I read creating recipes and puns while getting bald. I guess that's a dream worth striving for too. Gotta get my glasses.

What puns? Give me a clue -sion

micomator 😎👉👉

Oh thank you! I was wondering if it was possible to bake them instead of frying them. Definitively trying your version

@Bert Clayton No shit, Sherlock

​@@freelancechemistis the recipe different if you bake them? How long to bake at what temp?

Cameron MacDonald hey man you're making the rest of us fans look bad chill

Lol, hey mang you got some shit on your nose. 😂

Wow you said san Francisco treat too.. lol

Sorry, Cameron. The world's a (mostly) whatever you want it to be kinda place.

Absolutely agree, when I need some original recipe, I always go to Food Wishes. Looks simple and yummy.

Johnny Doe he does not want to be sent to Siberia.

Muller has to envestigate that dough

@@nebelweiss6999 He did! Doh!! ; )

edward nygma I wish I had a tally for how many times I've voted Chef John for prez.

Make America Gourmet Again.

NullPoEx that too. #makeamericagormetagain

What? Nonsense, there was never any adhesion!

"This is the end of Chef John's presidency" says increasingly-nervous and hungry man.

literally the comment i came here to see, bless you

Kouri we were born to cook history

Now all we need are pork cutlet pirozhki

Kouri he's yurio's grandpa probably that's why these're so good

I saw this video and I hoped someone would make the reference in the comments!

ok

Hope you were a good friend. Probably meant a lot to have a friend.

О, не я один его смотрю))

ты праведный брат

не пирожки, а пИрОЖки!!!! :) Окаянный.

:D

But Boris, Moose and Squirrel would make wonderful stew, no?

Aaron yes!! I love his voice. And sense of humor...everything about his videos!! We like upbeat, fun, witty people and excellent food...GO CHEF JOHN!!🌹

BOOM

Jorge B. Amazing really. A savory beef dish gets choked of cayenne. One for the books.

Jorge B. You can add a dash of it if you really must but to be honest if I were Chef John I'd put garlic chives instead of dill into the dish. But thats just how I like to make meat pierogi so to each their own. I'd save the dill for fish pierogi which you make the same dough. But you make the filling with fish (I used tined salmon but you can do it with tuna I don't because I hate tuna) lightly sauted onions & finely chopped fresh dill. The rest of the preparation for the fish perogies is the same as the meat perogies. You can also make cabbage & mushroom perogies. It's worth looking online for a couple of different recipes for pierogi fillings.

Amethyst I have a mixed Slavic background. Pierogies are so good and the filling possibilities are endless.

I really want to have a go at some crazy british/russian fusion and put kedgeree in one of these..

@@Howtard Did you try it? But you do know that kedgeree is already a fusion of British/Indian food so it will be tri- cultural!

Holy smokes folks! Another "whistleblower"!! : )

Nah I think he just sold some weed lol

Well, at least this explains why he never shows his face. Much too dangerous~

Yeah, I cook for fun and for the family. Every time I tell coworkers that I can cook, it's patently clear that they can't. "Yeah, I made this Stouffers meal the other day that was awesome." "Oh? I made some lasagna too. Noodles, Cottage Cheese, Ricotta, Feta, Parmesan, Asiago, crumbled meatloaf filling, and spaghetti sauce. Yum!" "Where'd you buy THAT?" "I made it." "You can cook? When are you bringing me some food?" 😒 (Why'd I open my mouth?)

Dakarn Who are these people that can't cook? Even if I'm no chef I've got a couple dozen recipes in my pocket. It's just so much cheaper to cook for yourself!

The Father of Lies A lot of people can't cook. Mostly because their parents couldn't either. You'd be surprised by the amount of people that think "cooking" is putting prepared meals into the oven.

Anyone who can read can cook. It takes a chef to develop recipes

@Wrench245, you could always take the pre-Industrial village trade approach. Mr. Wrench/Cook trades services with Mr. Baker and Mr. Dentist lol.

SeranaIsBae dill is to Russia what Cilantro is to Mexico

Dill is to Russia cuisine, as is what vinegar is to the Philippines.

SeranaIsBae what's a smoking hot cook like you doing on a site like this? Just had to ask as an old school chef. Politically correct? nah, more of a "hands across the water, let's eat around for a while." type. See you at dinner!

Dill is to Russia what parsley is to Portugal

Razzlewolfflight we are born to cook history

Jabba The Hutt was Russian? I knew it.

That's up to you!!! After all, you are the Hans of your Moleman.

Feta Cheezz after all, you are the hans solo, of your beef donught hole-o

hans Come on, man. How did you not know? It's only been the talk of the Federation for about 522 years. His father's name was Zorba, after all. If that's not Russian, I don't know what is.

We have a winner!
