#Kurnik (#Russian: курник; "chicken #pirog"), also known as wedding pirog or #tsar pirog, is a dome-shaped savoury Russian pirog (loosely, a #pie) usually filled with chicken or turkey, eggs, onions, #kasha or rice, and other optional components. Sometimes filled with boiled rooster combs, this pirog originated in #SouthernRussia, especially in #Cossack communities, and was used as a "wedding pirog" in the rest of the country. It is dome-shaped, unlike any other non-sweet pirog.

The #PIROG 5 Incident: when a Su-15 Interceptor shot down a Swedish high-altitude research balloon that floated into Soviet Airspace

An interesting article by Dario Leone about the downing by soviet fighters of a runaway balloon launched from #ESRANGE in 1990 that accidentally drifted into #Soviet airspace.

Today's dinner is Karelian pirogs. The traditional topping is egg butter, but I prefer a slice of ham and mustard.
