A Russian savory pastry filled with fish, mushrooms, and rice, sometimes wrapped in pastry dough or served as a loaf.
From Russian 'kulebyaka,' possibly from 'kulebiak,' itself from unclear origins, though sometimes associated with 'Kulybakha,' a Russian place name. The pastry became famous in European haute cuisine.
Coulibiaca is a dish so fancy it's often spelled three different ways, and it traveled from Russian home cooking to European restaurant menus through the Russian imperial court!
