Kreplakh

The great feature of Shevuos is the dairy dishes served in all possible combinations—blintses, kreplakh with cheese, pot cheese and sour cream, cheese strudel with raisins and cinnamon.

Which comes first—kreplakh, pirogi, ravioli, or wonton soup? Each country seems to have its own version of a filled egg-noodle dough, either fried or boiled in water or soup. […] The meat of the kreplakh symbolizes inflexible justice; the soft noodle dough denotes compassion.

Various regulations and observances have meant that some ingredients or procedures were not permitted for certain periods or days. Working with these restrictions encouraged the development of such characteristic foods as gefilte fish (specially cooked fish ball), matzah balls (dumplings for chicken soup), kreplakh (meat filled dough used in chicken soup) and kugel (noodle or potato pudding).
