The name of cepelinai comes from their shape that resembles of a Zeppelin airship.[1] Cepelinai are typically around 10–20 cm long, although the size depends on where they are made: in the western counties of Lithuania cepelinai are made bigger than in the east.[citation needed] In Samogitia cepelinai are called cepelinā.
After boiling, the cepelinai are often served with sour cream sauce and bacon bits[1] or pork rinds.
In the Suwałki Region, Podlachia, Warmia and Masuria it is known as kartacz (pol.: grapeshot). It is a part of the cuisine of north-eastern Poland.
Similar dishes include Polish pyzy, Swedish kroppkaka, Acadian poutine râpée, Norwegian raspeball, German Kartoffelklöße and Italian canederli.
