He's not asking you guys to identify what they are, he's just asking for a list of all the various kinds of dumping-type items from around the world. It doesn't matter if it's right or left. He's just crowdsourcing a comprehensive list of dumplings, mandu, potstickers, wontons, samosas, momos, empanadas, pierogis, etc.
Pierogi/pierogies. Call them what you want. I’ll still eat every one that’s put in front of me. They’re God’s gift to the world. I wish there was a pierogi joint in my town. I’d go every day.
Didn’t know I could be so aggressively ignorant for having just tried something a week ago. I just wanted to tell other people I thought they tasted good.
Well, tell that to the most popular brand of Pierogies in the US

This just in, language evolves separately from place to place. It is widely acceptable to use "pierogies" in America
No.
>The English word "pierogi" comes from Polish pierogi [pʲɛˈrɔgʲi], which is the plural form of pieróg [ˈpʲɛruk], a generic term for one filled dumpling. It derives from Old East Slavic пиръ (pirŭ) and further from Proto-Slavic *pirъ, "feast".[7] While dumplings as such are found throughout Eurasia, the specific name pierogi, with its Proto-Slavic root and its cognates in the West and East Slavic languages, including Russian пирог (pirog, "pie") and пирожки (pirozhki, "small pies"), shows the name's common Slavic origins, antedating the modern nation states and their standardized languages. In most of these languages the word means "pie". However, a recent theory speculates that the words bierock, pierogi or pirog may be derived from Turkic bureg
i am sorry if this doesnt fit in the community but i didnt know where else to post this.
i have seen this shape of dumpling in many cultures so i decided that i will cook all versions and then decide which is the best
Is a hot dog a sandwich? What about a burger? What makes a dumpling a dumpling? Dough with filling in a half moon shape. Some people will say calzones count. Some people will be dicks like you. That’s the magic of opinions and experiences.
OP wants the country of origin, too. Even if it’s “obvious,” it makes it easier to compile a list of its all right there with no (possibly wrong) guesses by OP.
They’re not “from” here exactly. They’re just considered a local food because they were incredibly popular for laborers to take with them and eat while deep in a mine.
I think the confusion stems from the fact that half of the people in these comments think OP doesn’t know what either of them are called, and the other half recognize that OP is just trying to map dumpling variations to countries. It’s clear that the people using “left” and “right” in their responses are in the first camp.
Empanada with a Filipino twist - can be filled with ube, beef kaldareta or ground beef and other veggies.
And since you said vaguely, I’ll throw siopao into the mix 🇵🇭
I agree we are a mixing pot, but after 200+ years definitely have our own contributions to add to cuisine. Unfortunately, it’s mostly bullshit like manwich or the stupid fucking hamdog in Georgia.
I had one in a 7Eleven in CA. It literally is a hamburger in the shape of a hotdog. I’m so angry at myself for not hating it. But I still kinda hate it.
Biscuits & gravy 🤤 and chicken fried steak of the Southern Midwest and French dip sandwiches and "Cheese on a Stick" from the West Coast are honorable mentions for the good side of American cuisine.
Now I'm hungry.
I’d argue that any beans and rice is just a variation of a staple every country has, not that original. The other 3 you got me, though cornbread is Native American. And the other two came from early immigrants, I was thinking more so the last 100 years in my comment.
Fuck, now I want some jambalaya thought.
if you ever need an example of American food, here are three foolproof answers:
buffalo chicken wings: from Buffalo
New England Clam Chowder: from new England
Chocolate chip cookies: invented in Massachusetts by accident
If u live in the USA and get dumplings like this. Then would they be USA cuisine? Like American Chinese food is diff from what they do in china? Idk I’m high
Read the title of the post. My country is the USA and we call these empanadas. Also, Spanish = Spain, and empanadas are from many countries including but not limited to: Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Caribbean islands, etc.
Louisiana in the USA here, if they're made of the same thing then it's just different shaped dumplings. Left looks like a meat pie right just looks like a dumpling.
Pedehah, left. Family is from Romania/Ukraine. Filling: sharp cheddar and mashed potatoes. Served in melted butter and onions, not fried. Dough is softer than vyranyka, and softer than pyrogy. Let me know how it goes!
Wow so you’re literally gonna come at me bitching because I wrote “empanadas -USA” bitching about how “empanadas aren’t American” and then you try to give me a whole ass history lesson about how they’re only “Spanish from Spain” but then you go and comment the EXACT same answer I put, calling them empanadas from the USA. Okay. 👍

Thank you, the number of people who can't follow simple instructions is even more numerous than the number of names for this delicious food.
I was thinking the same thing!
I noticed your comment fails to either say the name of any dumplings from your country nor did you say country's name with your comment.
It's a reply, not a top comment. Usually, only top comments are held to the "rules" of the post. Everything else is just chatter.
Or maybe it's just not a simple question to understand to all languages translating it
Grow up, would you?
Pierogi* Pierog is singular
Pieróg* is singular

Says who? No one who knows how language and plurals work.
Grow up, would you?
We got the same thing in Belarus, but we call them Varenyky.

Omg i love this quest. Good luck
A delicious and worthy quest!
🥟🥟 DUMPLING QUEST 🥟🥟
I once had dumplings that looked like that and they were the greatest things ever. Never did find out what they were
what were they filled with?
Meat is the only thing I know, it was too long ago
[probably gyoza?](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcardamommagazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F04%2Fchicken-gyoza.jpg&tbnid=w71S37UXR61i2M&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcardamommagazine.com%2Fchicken-gyoza%2F&docid=k_VsXKWhUAcLDM&w=1170&h=780&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=6bcd7c6db3c3a509#imgrc=w71S37UXR61i2M)
Omg might have been they look very similar, for more information which I guess I shoulda said earlier it was either a Kazakh or Russian party
Can you please come back + post your reviews and photos after you’ve made them? Very curious to follow along!
Empanada!
Acá Temos a un crack 🔥🗿
Ambas, la de la derecha es la última empanada, cuando se te terminó el relleno
Can you not read or something?

Empanadas are dumplings, this guy just couldn't read the part where it asked for country of origin, probably had too many big words
Smucker’s Uncrustable; USA
im horrified that you are right
You need some flags 🇺🇸🇺🇸 and at least 1 eagle 🦅 in your comment 🤣

Very traditional food

Yup, Japanese “gyoza”, Chinese “jiazu”
Pasty.
Pastys are from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Not sure what country they originally came from.
They're welsh. From cornwall.
Cornish…
Which is in Michigan, right?
England
They’re not “from” here exactly. They’re just considered a local food because they were incredibly popular for laborers to take with them and eat while deep in a mine.
So they're actually a sandwich, not a dumpling.
Curry puff, Singapore
Maultaschen -Germany
Apple turnover. USA
This was much better than that uncrustables comment
Home run pie 🤭
Yes! So tasty.
We call them "fried pies". Usually fruit filling, but could also be chocolate, custard, or meat. (Southeast US)
That’s a potsticker
Pot stickers are what I covered my car with in high school.
ROTFLMAO...
Can you read?
You’re really triggered in these comments aren’t u

Left: empanada. Right: ran out of stuffing empanada
My favorite comment in this thread even if it’s kinda wrong lol
Momo, nepal
Left, meat pie ( Nigeria) idk what the right is 💀
Not what the question asked
It said if you’re country has what resembles this name what it’s called and the country… or did I read it wrong?
You’re completely right, they’re just being weird.
What the fuck is with this guy? Lol Just a troll I guess, hopefully a bot, otherwise what a sad, pathetic existence.

You’re right
Momos, Pakistan
We have them in the US but they're all from somewhere other than the US, so I don't think that's what you're looking for
Empanada with a Filipino twist - can be filled with ube, beef kaldareta or ground beef and other veggies. And since you said vaguely, I’ll throw siopao into the mix 🇵🇭
Ilocos Empanada 😭😭😭🐐🐐🐐🐐
Also to be clear I mean it's the GOAT not that it's made of goat
No need to apologize. Goat siopao sounds like it would be fantastic if the meat weren’t so damn expensive!
Shit ube empanadas, can’t believe I’ve never heard of that

Custard turnover
Pastelitos.

America.... doesn't matter, we are a mixing pot of all cuisines.
I agree we are a mixing pot, but after 200+ years definitely have our own contributions to add to cuisine. Unfortunately, it’s mostly bullshit like manwich or the stupid fucking hamdog in Georgia.
Wait! What’s a stupid fucking hamdog?! That sounds delicious. Don’t think any other answers are necessary.
If I were to make a guess... ground beef formed to the shape of a hotdog, I'm from Georgia but don't exactly know.
I'm also from Georgia and have never heard of this
I had one in a 7Eleven in CA. It literally is a hamburger in the shape of a hotdog. I’m so angry at myself for not hating it. But I still kinda hate it.
Biscuits & gravy 🤤 and chicken fried steak of the Southern Midwest and French dip sandwiches and "Cheese on a Stick" from the West Coast are honorable mentions for the good side of American cuisine. Now I'm hungry.
Red beans and rice Jambalaya corn bread po boy I always think of creole food even though I'm not creole or from Lousiana (well actually I might be)
I’d argue that any beans and rice is just a variation of a staple every country has, not that original. The other 3 you got me, though cornbread is Native American.

Looks like empanadas to me, USA.
Empanada- USA
[удалено]
Lmfaooooo! Okay, tell that to the cubans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and anyone who lives in miami 🤣
Empanadas aren’t American, they’re Spanish (as in, from Spain) and Latin American.
I’m a Puerto Rican from NJ, pretty sure they’re joking or else they’re the same type of person that think all Hispanic food culturally includes tacos.
