In Poland we have Greek style fish, Ukrainian borscht and Russian pierogi. None of which have anything to do with the place they are named after.

I forgot about French pastry. Which I just puff pastry, but we call it French pastry for some reason. Doesn't it come from Ireland?

A little correction, the name "ruskie pierogi" comes not from Russia but from Red Ruthenia/Red Rus, or Ruś Czerwona in Polish, a region in western Ukraine.

As all dishes, it's not from a specific country, but from a region of the world. Eastern Europ in this case. When we fill them with potatoes, we call it russian style. Apparently Russians like carbs.
