Spring 2026 (Apr-Jun) Dish of the Quarter - NOMINATIONS

Winter has flown and Spring is on her way! Time to nominate a new Dish of the Quarter. Please nominate your ideas in ALL CAPS below. As with last quarter, I’ll do a ranked choice poll for voting, so please limit your nominations to TWO PER PERSON to keep the overall poll manageable. If someone nominates more than two, I’ll take only their first two mentions. I’ll leave noms open until Thursday, March 26, 2026. Thanks, HOs!

DINNER SALADS is not a sentence. And yet.

PIEROGIES

(or is that too close to HAND PIES)

FRIED RICE

(various versions??)

nope, pierogi are closer to dumplings.
pierogi stand on their own!

there is a variation, same etymology, Pirozhki, as well as Bierock, which are related to Pierogi in language but are closer to Hand Pies in form.
