I can't see how you could choose a winner in this case. A tie was the only proper solution!!!! I also am still reeling from the pictures of the dumplings! They were both knock out punches! Have a great New Year Ann!! See ya next year!!!!!! Well, I was humming the theme to Rocky as I read that!! I can’t see how you could choose a winner in this case.

The picture of that dumpling is so tantalizing! I have a friend who lives in Greenpoint (and he's Polish) and I crave the pastries there. Next time I'll be looking for borscht. Oh my god!

Julie -- I think they're actually called Borowik and I believe they're related to Cepes. You can buy them at any Polish deli or meat shop in long strings. I was just buying some pork for New Year's Eve dinner and came very close to buying a $25 string of them. They're expensive, but sooooooo worth it! They generally sell for about $100/lb. Here's a link so you can oogle them ;-) http://polartcenter.com/Polish_Mushrooms_s/234.htm S’kat — it really was fun! silly, but fun, and tasty to boot!
