Cepelinai

Cepelinai are potato dumplings made from grated potatoes and stuffed with ground meat or dry curd cheese, or liver, or mushrooms. It has been described as a national dish of Lithuania, and is typically served as a main dish. Originally called didžkukuliai, or dumb-bells, they were renamed rather modishly in honour of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, pioneer of the rigid airship, in 1900. Cepelinai shape resembles of a Zeppelin airship,. Cepelinai are typically around 10–30 cm long, although the size depends on where they are made: in the western counties of Lithuania cepelinai are made bigger than in the east.[citation needed] In Samogitia cepelinai are called cepelinā. After boiling, the cepelinai are often served with sour cream sauce and bacon bits or pork rinds.
