    My family told me two stories about how young women in Armenia had to prove their worth. First, before an engagement, they had to prove they could make what is commonly called kibbeh in Arabic-speaking areas (we call it michov kufteh) with sufficiently thin walls, and after marriage they had to prove their patience by untangling a badly knotted ball of string. Always made me grateful I didn’t have to pass exams like that!

    In Azerbaijan we have dumpling called ‚dushbere‘, similar to manti ideally they should be tiny, but the dough should be thin and filling (traditionally meat, beef or beef with lamb) generous, shape looks like belly button similar to tortelloni, usually it is eaten as a soup, but now you can also have fried dushbere as a snack with beer

    Hey Beryl 👋🏼

    If you decide to do an episode on dumplings, Assyrian’s also have a dumpling version which we call “Kubba Hammouth” which translated means “Sour Dumplings.” It consists of a deliciously tangy tomato based rich soup with bite sized dumplings made with a mixture of semolina and bulgur, and stuffed with perfectly seasoned minced beef, sautéed onions and parsley. They are round and flat in shape. Larger than your average dumpling.

    Kubba Hammouth is one of my favourite Assyrian dishes, ever!!! I can honestly eat it everyday!!! ❤❤

    I would love for you to feature our Assyrian dumpling! Thanks 🙏🏼

    how I eat XiaoLongBao is that i bit the top off and suck a little bit of the soup; this will also release some steam making the whole dumpling just easier to eat; this way you also still get some soup whilst eating the dumpling 🙂

    You should try Vietnamese dumplings called Bánh bột lọc. They're filled with shrimp and pork, wrapped in a tapioca flour, and steamed inside banana leaves. Super tasty but pretty difficult to make.

    Slippery dumplings. My mom always made them with chicken, but my grandmother on my fathers side always made them with beef. Except Granny always called them “Pot Pie”. She would slow cook the beef all day. It was a typical Sunday dinner at Gran’s house, served with a lettuce salad with bacon dressing and chocolate pudding for dessert. 🤤

    I’m from Delaware but my Gran was from Pennsylvania.

    There's a very popular kind of dumpling in the south of Austria called "kasnudln" or (cheese 'noodles').
    The dumplings are filled with a very crumbly curd cheese, mashed potatoes and mint and it's eaten with melted butter on top.
    We also have mushroom, herbal, potatoe or meat fillings but the curd cheese dumplings are the most known ones.

    We Indians love momos too! India is one of the best places to find dumplings of all kinds, including vegetarian versions. Do try paneer momos, Beryl. You'll love them..and you may impress your mother-in-law as well 😉

    hate the way people are duped into the "particular" way to eat soup dumplings… best way is to let them cool down a bit then eating them whole Without poking a whole in them so it explodes in your mouth, soup and all

    In (Southwestern/Swabia) Germany we have Maultaschen, they are pretty big and are filled with meat and spinach. They are either eaten in broth with potato salat (dressing is mainly vinegar, broth & mustard) or sliced and fried with egg

    In Indonesia we have batagor (fried tofu and meatballs) I know name was not describing the food but it is fried fish dumpling + fish dumpling stuffed into tofu And for meatballs, it referred to the dumplings filling itself that fried to be meatballs

    And three of them served with peanuts sauce just like siomay (our version of shumai)

    Who doesn’t love a good dumpling? On one side of my family are all the Italian dumplings; ravioli, tortellini, agnolotti, etc. and on the other side of my family are the Ashkenazi Jewish kreplach, matzoh balls, and pierogi. I love them all, but once I tried a momo, I was hooked!

    We have dumpling called "pangsit" here in Indonesia. Usually they're stuffed with bakso. They can be eaten steamed, with soup, or fried. I love it.

    I grew up eating Glissants which is like a French Canadian dumpling you eat with roast beef or my Nanny used to make it with chicken soup. They have different names that’s just what my family calls them ❤
