What was Jeremy (Jude Law) eating in a couple of scenes. It was a shape of a giant Hershey's Kiss. It looked like some sort of pastry with something inside. I could not tell if it was a pie like dessert or more of a savory pastry. It looked very interesting.
Anyone know?
Could it be a kulich? Here's a photo: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=kulich&w=38844152%40N00

I am pretty sure Jude Law says that it's a meringue pie. In the scene when Norah Jones' character first eats the blueberry pie, she asks him if he wants any and he says something like, "No, I've got my meringue, that's more my speed."
shareDefinitely not Kulich. Kulich is a bread baked in a tall thin mold (you can actually use a well-cleaned "tin" can that veggies, or soup, or something like that comes in) that resembles a domed tower or mushroom. Sweetish and usually has a confectioner's sugar glaze on top. Kournik looks more like what he was eating. I looked it up on the internet (not kurnik that seems to be something else) and found a recipe in English. It has regular pastry dough with thin pancakes on it and separating layers of rice, minced chicken or lamb, and mushrooms and onion, I think. This is covered with another layer of pancakes and a pastry lid shaped like a hill. Pastry "lid" is "vented" decoratively. Often served at Russian weddings.
