It’s neat because this seems about half-way between an East Asian dumpling and an western European savory pie, and it’s about half-way geographically too.
Ah yes the dumpling pie spectrum
Already switched to Mibin, sorry
Visually, at least on the outside, it looks something like a Stottie, Oggie or Pastie from the farming/mining areas of the UK. I always find it fascinating to see the convergent evolution of this sort of food - edible with one hand, hot and filling, with a crust that can be discarded if hands are filthy, or et if not.
Looks like empanadas. They’ll even fold them the same way to indicate a specific filling.
More foods need to come with chicken stock
“I’ll take a 3 piece with a side of stock, taters & gravy, a biscuit, & the wife’ll have the salmon, also with a side of stock. Chicken stock for me, she’ll have the seafood stock.
Lets go ahead & get the little ones each a grilled cheese, both with beef stock…
And let’s see here… let’s do an order of churros for dessert… what’s that? Oh yes mam, definitely another side of stock with those.”
I wonder if there is a linguistic link to kibbeh.
Might be, because the Karaites who came to Crimea were from Muslim decent.
I thought it said Kbin 😭
When you say “served with chicken stock” do you mean that’s what’s in the mug? Is this a dippin’ situation or do people drink straight stock?
Its in the mug, people drink it because the outer crust of the kibin is thick and dry, so it goes well with it. The stock must be very rich in flavor so it would feal like having a soup.
Imagine having a soup for dinner but the main dish is bread.
It’s less strange the more I think about it. I guess I’ve always thought of chicken stock as an ingredient and not a thing you can just have, but I guess it is just sorta soup.
Looks like Cornish pasties. Yummy.
