  Pelmeni is very similar to Polish pierogies. I used to call them pierogie at first, but Russians use the names pirog and pirozhki for other dishes so it got confusing. 

I tend to equate vareniki and pierogi together since both tend to be stuffed similarly (potato, cottage cheese, mushrooms, etc.).

  My wife get's mad when I put ketchup on it. It's kind of a catch-22, because I usually only put ketchup on to make her mad.

Oh no, IMHO ketchup is a perfectly fine thing to have on pelmeni! Or even better ketchup + mayo mix (I don't like mayo itself but great with ketchup to have with pelmeni). 

 

I think pelmeni is not too hard to make at home, just time consuming, so is borsch. My partner is now demanding golubtsi (the stuffed cabbage rolls) since one time the officer in the USCIS office mentioned them

We have a Russian grocery store not too far from us, so we get pelmeni quite often as well.  I like it with butter, but my wife doesn’t like how I cook it.  I will take frozen pelmeni and fry it with a little olive oil and some about half of a spice packet from the Russian grocery.  I guess shuba is an acquired taste, but I do like beet root and herring, so I like it.

Is it normally boiled or steamed?

I personally believe that steamed vegetables should calm down somewhat.

 

If the current Russian President developed a harsh voice, would he be known as Rasp Putin?
