This made for an interesting discussion at dinner lol. Lots of opinions on what is or isn’t a “dumpling” xD
minus-squareDearMoogleOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-221 hours agoWe talked about some of those things! Then we were debating if size had anything to do with it. For example, would a tamale or calzone be a dumpling? Or if you went the other way, could something like spätzle be a dumpling?🤔

minus-squaretallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-221 hours agoYeah, I was actually just thinking “spätzle isn’t a dumpling” when I was writing my comment. EDIT: And unlike the commenter you’re responding to, I wouldn’t think of tortellini as a dumpling. Like, that’s “filled pasta”. Maybe the size is a factor.
