Knish
Dough wrapped round a filling — potato, or kasha, the buckwheat — then baked or fried; a Lower East Side bake.
Nobody paid to be here. Each kitchen is described from its own menu where it publishes one, unranked, so each note says how that kitchen makes it.
No kitchen in London sends this yet. Here is where we would send you.
