Gołąbki is the plural form of gołąbek, the diminutive form of gołąb, meaning "pigeon", referring to the roll's shape.
Gołąbki are often served during the Christmas season and on festive occasions such as weddings.[1][2] They are also a featured dish for family reunions amongst Polish Americans.[3] An alternative to the dish are Jewish holishkes, served on Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
