Kreplach with vegetarian or dairy fillings are also eaten on Purim because the hidden nature of the kreplach interior mimics the "hidden" nature of the Purim miracle.[4] In many communities, meat-filled kreplach are served on Purim. A variety with a sweet cheese filling is served as a starter or main dish in dairy meals, specifically on Shavuot. Fried kreplach are also a popular dish on Chanukah because they are fried in oil, which references the oil miracle of Chanukah.[citation needed][5]
Stuffed pasta may have migrated from Venice to the Ashkenazi Jews in Germany during the 14th century.[6][5]
Nameedit
The Yiddish word קרעפלעךkreplekh is the plural of krepl, a diminutive of krap, which comes from Yiddish's ancestor language Middle High German, where krappe, krapfe meant "a piece of pastry". From the same source come the German Krapfen ("deep-fried pastry") and its East Central German dialectal variant Kräppel, as well the SilesianKrepel ("doughnut").
By folk etymology, the name has been sometimes explained as standing for the initials of three Jewish holidays which are not real holidays; therefore the meat is covered in dough: K for (Eve of Yom) Kippur, R for (Hoshaana) Rabbah, and P for Purim, which together form the word KReP. However, this ignores that Kippur is spelled with a כִּ (kaf) and kreplach with a ק (qof).[7]
Shapeedit
Some cooks use a square of dough that is filled and folded into triangles. Others use rounds of dough resulting in a crescent shape, or two squares of dough.[8]
