I made some gnocchi for dinner the other day, and it was super delicious. Then I started wondering why nobody eats gnocchi. It is simple to make from scratch and tasty with everything. You can even eat it with plain olive oil/butter and salt without disappointment.

The question is: Who actually eats gnocchi, and will it ever beat risotto?

[V-Adore]

I love gnocchi. The only problem I have with it is that, if I haven't eaten it in a while, I forget what a substantial pasta it is and take too damn much -- because gnocchi looks so delicious.

I eat gnocchi. There's one we make from scratch with spinach and flour, or else we buy the potato kind frozen.

I am not sure I have ever had risotto, to tell the truth. When I am in the mood for rice I eat Asian food and when I am in the mood for Italian I am not thinking of rice.

I eat gnocchi, but rarely. I love it, but in terms of my physique for ballet I can't afford to indulge in that many carbs very often.

Gnocchi with pesto=heaven.

I find gnocchi to be tastier than risotto, which I tend to feel is too light to match my tastes.

Gnocchi is wonderful. There's a little Italian café in Cambridge that does wonderful gnocchi in enormous quantities for very little money. God, I love that place.

I always consider risotto more of a carrier.

I always forget that gnocchi is heavy, and I eat too fast, so ten minutes after finishing a plate of gnocchi, it feels like there is a pile of bricks in my stomach.

I am ethnic in ways that key into my practically being raised on gnocchi.

Good parm cheese, just enough butter to make the cheese stick. Bliss.

I have never had this "gnocchi"

I am ethnic is ways that might lead you to expect this, but I am pretty sure I never had gnocchi till I was grown up. Is gnocchi one of those Northern Italian things? I don't even know. We only ate pasta, although we never used that word at the time.

Gnocchi is my mom's favorite pasta. It doesn't really interest me. It's just too heavy. I've always been a tortellini man.

Me either.  Sounds tasty though.

[theinevitable]

basically, as far as I can tell, many cultures have a "dumpling"-type food which I covet.

I cannot think of any other word than Covet to say here. But seriously: matzah balls, "potstickers," dumplings, gnocchi... basically these are all words for Delicious as far as I am concerned.

I need to live someplace with a kitchen. As if, you know, that's all that's keeping me from cooking wonderful meals.

I used to dislike gnocci, as every time I had it it seemed slimy...
Then I figured it was damned easy to make, and all was good again.
