Peking ravioli
A dumpling filled with meat, found only at Boston-area Chinese restaurants, unlike in the rest of the world, where they eat just dumplings or potstickers (except for Paris, where they loves them some raviolis pekinoise). Joyce Chen came up with the name in the late 1950s and it, well, stuck.
