Those are very small varenyky -- I always make mine larger and people call me lazy :)

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Varenyky are typically on the small side.

[–] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Varenyky are on the size side you prefer them to be. Being small or big doesn't stop them from being varenyky.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I agree! Although there's definitely more time spent making small ones.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fair, but they are usually smaller.

[–] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

there's no "usually", in every household every person makes it as they please at each preparation iteration, according to the size of their hands, capabilities, mood, and especially filling. you do cherry for kids - make them smaller, one cherry inside. oh, today your kid wants them full of cherry juice hinkali-style, voila, enormous ones, and the juice drips. same thing with borshch, or other "staples" of Ukrainian cuisine. there are no rules, only slight directions. do as you please.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is a usually if you buy them at restaurants.

[–] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

you are right except for the places that offer tiny or huge ones.

Dont munutions contain lead and other shit?

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

They're probably not too worried about it given the circumstances.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hey if its gonna be your last dumpling...

Green munitions are a thing, where lead and other harmful materials are substituted with sometimes slightly less effective but far more environmentally (and personnel) friendly materials.
