Day Trip: Dumplings
Wrap me up and tell me I'm pretty...
Dumplings are the diplomats of the international palate. A universal comfort food that takes many shapes and forms, dumplings can be found in many cultures across the world. Off the top of my head, I can name:
Dumplings (such a perfect word, sometimes it doesn’t need a translation)
Himalayan Momo
Pierogis
Ravioli
Khinkali
Chicken & dumplings
Gyoza
Samosa
Calzone
Empanadas
Croquetas
Wontons
Knishes
Now it’s your turn. I’m off to get a snack.
As a team building exercise when we were all working from home, my team of Taxonomists really enjoyed teaching the Data Science team to classify food by The Cube Rule. https://cuberule.com/
All to say, there are many words to convey the meaning of food that makes us happy, especially when we share it with others.
