there is such dish called (literally) lazy noodles. these are noodles made mainly of white cheese (cottage cheese? i'm not sure is it the same) and flour. i wonder what's the name that english-speaking people use for it.

I found twenty recipes for "Lazy Lasagne" but none for lazy noodles. The cheese named
was mozzarella.

Maybe if you could give the original name, somebody might recognise it even if they don't know that it means lazy noodles.

Well, rav, as Bingley said, maybe if you posted it in Polish (I assume it's Polish?) one of us might recognize it. For example, I know what kielbasa is but I don't know what the literal English translation is. It could be there is an English version of "lazy noodles" that is not a straightforward translation.

Or, to put it another way, we know what lo mein is but we don't know what it means.

On online translator ( http://www.poltran.com/) translates kluski as noodles, refuses to translate leniwe all by itself and translates the phrase kluski leniwe as sluggish dumplings. Googling kluski-leniwe produces a bunch of sites in Polish and one in German. None in English. The word kluski sounds familiar to me but then I'm from Chicago so.

I found this: "dumplings made from potatoes, flour, eggs and cottage cheese" http://web.wanadoo.be/brian.huebner/EM.htmand this: "NOODLES & CHEESE, LENTEN (kluski z serem postne): In lightly salted water cook 16 oz egg noodles of choice until tender. Drain well, dot with butter or margarine (about 2 T and stir in about 2 c grated or crumbled farmer cheese. Dry cottage cheese and farmer cheese may be whirled to a powder in food-processor but do not overprocess because the whey (liquid) may separate from the cheese. Salt & pepper to taste." http://www.polishnews.com/fulltext/chef/2001/chef59_1.shtml OK, so pierogi I know. Kluski I don't. ...and no, this is *not a recipe post.

I think I know what are you talking about. It's not noodles - these are long and thin. I'd rather call klushki/klecki dumplings. but the problem is that there is no "lazy dumplings" in (at least) Britain. cottage cheese dumplings may be? Why do you need a translation anyway? Lasagne is lasagne, guacamole is guacamole, let klushki be klushki! (cottage cheese = tvorog in Russian, syr in Belorussian) wellcome on board, rav I used to be your neighbour - I am from Belarus  =

You're welcome, rav. I found it simply by googling polish-english. It was the second hit.

It's food that cooks itself without human intervention, also known as laissez fare.

Ooooh Ted, that is soooo... cool. And much too profound for your casual summary.

Umm, rav, I think sluggish dumplings might be open to misinterpretation as dumplings with slugs in. Doesn't sound very appetizing.
