Oops, I lied--I didn't have lamb at Parthenon, but dolmathes (sp? the grape-leaf wrapped meat loaf thing). Those were good, too. But my 17-y.o. nephew wouldn't be convinced to try some ethnic food and stuck with his NY strip steak. Oh, well, if he comes here for college, he'll get introduced to good cheap ethnic food anyway.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Oh, man, I love bao. There's a fabulous dumpling place in town, which is convenient to neither my house nor my work place. But they have green onion pancakes that I'd kill for right now.

There was a place in my old 'hood. First Avenue and, I think, 8th or 9th street? All pierogis, all the time. I'm not sure if it's still there or not. But I know the place with the fabulous kielbasa is still there. (My mom occasionally makes the trek.) SW corner of First and 7th.

I'm a big fan of meat and dough -- meat pies, bao, etc.
I had this really good pastry-wrapped meat pie at the Uzbek restaurant in my neighborhood with ChiKat over the summer. I want to go back there soon and see what else they have on their menu.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm a big fan of any kind of pouch-like food: pierogis, knishes, dumplings, wontons, Hot Pockets -- you name it.
Pot stickers!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Man, now I've made myself crave pierogis.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a sandwich. Which, while involving meat surrounded by starch, was not nearly as satisfying as having some dumplings would have been.
Stupid non-dumpling-being sandwich.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
