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.
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.
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 😭
More foods need to come with chicken stock
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.
