"This was chias this is Joan Nathan's version. alot of work, review from old place Pearl, may she rest in peace, would be 103 years old now. She was born in eastern Poland (Galitcia) and came to the USA as a young woman. No way did she ever use chopmeat for kreplach. As this receipe states in direction #7 a course grind is imperative to give the correct texture. She used a hand grinder attached to the side of the table. Only difference she cut the dough with a glass into rounds--(yartziet-memorial candle glass- which we used as juice glasses in my house.) She also folded the rounds in half as they were pretty well stuffed. Go Chia!!"
