Your post has made me hungry although I have just had lunch, dear @zirochka 🙂 and these meat dumplings look really delicious.

We have similar food specialities here: In Carinthia there are the "Kärntner Nudeln" or "Kasnudeln" with curd cheese and potato filling, while my mother, who was born and raised in Tyrol, makes "Schlipfkrapfn" which have no curd cheese but more potatoes in the filling, but you can also make them with a meat filling like you do ... or there are many other fillings available like spinach or mozzarella filling. Enough, now I am really hungry ;) lol

First of all, even though I'm not a Jewish mother, but I think your lunch was too late. I have already had dinner :D :D

Then, the English "dumplings" is used for any kind of them. The Ukrainian language is objectively richer, so we have a separate word for meat dumplings (those I wrote about, only meat filling, small ones), and for dumplings with various fillings called vareniki or sometimes pirogi. They have different shapes as well (their distinctive feature), and sometimes the dough is also different. Those you mentioned are called vareniki - a different dish for me :) I am a nerd, I know )))
By the way, vareniki with salted curd are my all-time favorite!

Glad to hear from you :) How was your day?

Oops, of course I meant lunch - thanks 😉

Good morning @zirochka,

that's right and dumpling is used for different kinds of food.
I have found a photo of "Vareniki" where they look almost exactly like the "Schlipfkrapfen" of my mother. BTW "Krapfen" is translated to English Donut, but have a look - do these look like donuts? 😂
Kärntner Käsnudeln - the Schlipfkrapfn of my mother look the same, but the filling is very different.

Yesterday was a very busy day, I came home late and made just a few comments and replies before I went to bed. Today will be very long too, but then I have a long weekend, because Monday is a holiday.

I hope everything is still fine and you all are well.

Cheers and !BEER

You know, you are quite right, both Schlipfkrapfen und Kärntner Käsnudeln is our vareniki. And I think that after observing all these yummy photos ... I feel like cooking them this weekend )) the more if it will be as cold and rainy as it was all week.

By the way, yes, Krapfen has nothing to do with donats.
Have a great weekend, Johann!

And I think I'm going to visit my mama this weekend. Hopefully our weather will be better. In the past days we had changeable weather and it rained often. Maybe my mama cooks Schlipfkrapfen, that would be great 🙂

I hope your weather will be good enough that you can go out, and bad enough that you can cook these delicious vareniki 🙂
Anyway, I also wish you a great weekend, @zirochka 🙂

Cheers and !BEER
