Since then I already tried sweet plum dumplings and savory dumplings called Shlishkes both from Hungary and both made from mashed potatoes. However, to my surprise, when I created this blog and started exploring various cuisines, I found out that dumplings are also made of potato or even bread dough! Well, you live you learn. Well, until a few years ago I thought that it's a cooked ball of dough based from flour with meat, fish, veggies or sweets inside which is boiled, steamed, simmered, fried or baked. So what is a dumpling? A dumb question, you will say. Nowadays, however, their status, as with many other peasant dishes, has changed and they are enjoyed everywhere around the world even by gourmets. It was a tasty inexpensive filler, to easily add to a meal. It's simply amazing how many different types of dumplings are out there!ĭumplings have been around for a very long time and were originally used to help families stretch a meal. I have always enjoyed any type of dumpling I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. A perfect side dish to meat dishes also great as a standalone vegetarian dish!
