Russian and Chinese cuisine considers pelmeni their national dish. It's not that there are heated debates about this, but there are plenty of people who like to talk about it.
And while some argue, others prove their love for dumplings by setting world records.
The largest, or even giant, dumpling in the world was made in China.
We are talking about a 79-kilogram semi-finished product.
Of these, the filling alone weighed 60 kilograms.
Thus, the Chinese proved that dumplings are a traditional dish for them.
In Russia, the dumpling record was set a little earlier.
In 2018, Krasnoyarsk craftsmen made a dumpling weighing 50 kilograms and more than 2 meters in circumference.
At the same time, the record holders agree that making dumplings of this size is not difficult.
But you have to rack your brains over how to cook them.
For now, Russia is the leader in dumpling records, as the chefs of Biysk previously managed to mold the smallest dumpling in the world, weighing 1.2 grams.
At the same time, the proportions of dough and filling were observed.
