Fish dumpling borscht
My mother makes borscht with fish dumplings in it every Christmas Eve. She learnt this recipe from her mother who use to live in Austria. We are curious about the history of this meal but are having a hard time finding any history about it. We have found information about the Polish dish of beetroot soup with mushroom dumplings. We would love to hear from you if you have heard of this recipe before.

Fish dumplings is not in traditional Polish cooking that I know. It depends on the region of Europe not just the country. But it is an excellent idea. The whole idea of Christmas eve is not to have have meat, that is make a sacrifice or fast – ‘post’ which is like the Polish word for fasting before a religious celebration is not eating meals except a light fish meal on the eve.
If you combine dumplings with fish this makes it more interesting.
