    If it was on Instagram a lot, a photo would be very helpful.

  • Sounds like a popover of some sort

  • You're going to need a photo for people to answer this.

  • Voting to close; the OP doesn't seem to understand what SA is for.

    I don't think the identification of a food item is off topic. Yes, a picture would be helpful. Again, I'll say that the only result of down voting a question is to that it discourages new users. If the question is off topic, it can be closed. If it needs clarity, it can be edited. If we already answered it, i can be identified as a dupe. If the user is spamming the system, mods can remove them. Down voting questions does not help this forum. My campaign continues...

I was able to find the name. It's called "chebureki", a form of turnover originating from the Crimean Peninsula. photo of a puffy half-moon pastry on a plate (Photo from Wikipedia)

    Chebureki doesn't really fit the description. While it does puff up a bit during cooking, it doesn't "decrease in volume" when you touch it. It also wouldn't ordinarily be served with a dip.

    @sneftel you can't see it from the current state of the question, but this is a self-answer. So this is indeed the food the OP meant, aven if they misremembered it's qualities while describing.

    @rumtscho I know it's a self-answer. I think it's an incorrect one.

    @Sneftel it appears to be the correct answer, even though the variation the OP is describing is not the same as the one in the Wikipedia photo. If you have an Instagram account, you can go to the link that was added to the question, and scroll down to the older pictures. You'll find a few clips showing exactly what the OP described, e.g. a video from 17. august where a blonde woman in a white corsage with shoulder straps eats it, and the restaurant itself titles it АйДаЧебурек, which is simply "cheburek" combined with the restaurant's name.

  • @rumtscho I was able to find a YouTube video youtube.com/watch?v=FOv92fF3f4M of nearly exactly this - it’s titled “Ayda Cheburek”
