Are these very big pelmeni or a very small bowl? I don't eat meat anymore, so I never have pelmeni. I guess I could make veggie ones, but I just don't. Thanks for the yummy nostalgia.

NY’s eve food of choice of any self-respecting Soviet family. Spend the whole 31st of December making them, stick them outside on the balcony (because it’s cold). Two hours later, there is a sudden change in temperature and the whole thing is melted.
True story!

I'm sorry for your loss.

So was I on that fateful night of 1995.

They are quite big, I’ve never made anything like this, and unfortunately made them too thick and they expanded too much when I boiled them. You can definitely use the same dough and fill them with anything you’d like! Sweet fillings are quite popular and always freeze really well :)

Oh, I know. I've made literally thousands. Every now and then growing up, my mom would take a day to make hundreds, and I'd always help. The ones we made would be smaller than a golf ball.

That’s awesome! Rolling them up that small sure is quite a challenge :)

You just make a little assembly line and get in a groove. I guess that's why my mom always wanted an assistant (me). They also have those metal things... I don't know what it's called. They make them so they look more like ravioli... I'll go find a picture.

I had smaller version of this yesterday. Please tell me you are putting Smetana on it as well because I want to virtually hug you in that case.

It is!! Went to my local Russian store CCCP and picked it up :) along with some Polish sweets!

You, my tovarich, deserve some mystery biscuits for this.

I got to have it twice in the last two weeks.
There's a place in San Francisco that makes great Uzbeki food: DASTARKHAN
I highly recommend it. The owners are from the same city where my wife was born. It's close to being as good as my mother in law's cooking.

Oh man, this reminds me of a restaurant in Bellingham called Pel’meni. Three things on the menu, beef dumplings, potato dumplings and a soda. Best part is the entire menu would cost you $11 to order!

Kind of is.

It’s just a separate type of dumpling, not a “play” on anything.

Never heard of this. Can you explain what the dish is?
They're like dumplings. Seasoned ground meat filling. Thin pasta shell that basically melts in your mouth. Quick boiled. Served with dill and sour cream because it's Russian food. I seriously don't know how old I was before I learned about herbs that weren't dill.
Russian food without dill simply isn't Russian food...
Exactly right! :)
Don’t forget vodka. I cannot imagine eating пельмени without a shot of Absolut. (Because Stolichnaya sucks balls)
Real Russians drink Русский Стандарт
Must be a recent trend.
boiled meat in dough
It’s pretty much heaven in your mouth, get you some today!
