All of these three meals are traditional polish meals you can eat in 
Poland till today. Pirogi (Pierogi in Polish) can bz filled with 
potatoes (russian pierogi), cheese (pierogi z serem), meat (pierogi z 
miesem) or kapusta (don't know english for that). There are pierogi 
with fruits too.
Borscht is I think barszcz, and Poonckie (Pa,czki) were my beloved 
sweety when I was child.

Just come to Poland taste all of these food and many many others ! ;-)
