Happenstance led me to the Wikipedia page for 'dumplings'. It's a most illuminating and inspiring place, and my main impression was, what a lot of dumplings there are in the world.
What comes to mind when you hear the word 'dumpling'? The fluffy, suety things on top of stew? A Polish pierogi? A steamed Chinese bun?
Turns out, most cuisines have their own dumpling.
Turns out, I've not eaten them all.
Yet.
This has become my quest: to research, cook and eat the global dumplings.
Tonight: Italian dumplings. Ravioli.
Oh man, I'm totally going to have to save this blog for when I've just eaten. WANT DUMPLINGS NOW.
