The examples of dumplings around the world are amazing. I think we should add also the Turkish version of dumplings such as "mant�" or " tartar soup" and "pirohi"..

Totally agree on the Turkish/Greek angle: just last night I made enthusiastically-received chicken borek with avgolemono sauce.

Note to Internet Explorer and Google Chrome users (Firefox doesn't display the problem): there's a bug in the "Next" ... "Previous" buttons where they skip to the end after the 11th or 12th dumpling. But you can get around it if you look up at the browser address line. Mine currently reads:

OK, here's the deal.This recipe doesn't seem to make sense. from looking at the picture it would appear that the "dumpling" is actually wrapped in the Swiss Chard. If this is really the case, I would wrap the Ricotta and Chard mixture in a "wilted" Chard leaf and steam the dumpling. Also I would leave a lot of the Chard out of the Ricotta mixture.

This was an interesting mix. I was hoping to see Armenian Manti. It's really delicious! Here's a peek...

I had no idea there were so many dumplings! I love it! Here's another one to add to the list: Yaki Mandu (Korean fried wontons stuffed with meat and veggies) - http://theenchantedcook.blogspot.com/2010/12/yaki-mandu-korean-fried-won-tons-with.html
