Ravioli are dumplings, tortellini are not. I cannot justify this but my heart knows it to be true.

interesting, are there dimsum shapes that are no longer dumpling?

I will admit that I have always wondered why shumai are considered dumplings when they're open at the top.

yeah, when I first met them I was like ❓

But also, if the puffy dough balls in US-style chicken and dumplings are dumplings, then it's a word without meaning, and any definition will collapse under close inspection.
Avatar
yeah, I think when the dough is more complicated or is not a separate piece wrapped around some filling is gets messy so fast

I'm so sorry to have to say this but a tortellini is a dumpling and a cousin of ravioli

Wait, tortellini is more dumpling shaped. Raviolis are pillow like objects. How you gonna call a pillow a dumpling?

Ravioli, like, dumplings, are filled and crimped. Tortellini are kind of filled a little bit and then origamied into a moebius strip. Different!

I'm amused that yon traditional British dumpling is neither filled nor crimped. Unlike Cornish pasties, which are both
Avatar
we've established that pasties are burritos.

We've also established that the British are wrong about everything.

Tortellini is an aspiring dumpling that didn't have the guts to go all the way

This seems totally correct for reasons I cannot identify

Now I want to see what happens if I make a ravioli and cook it in the steamer basket instead of boiling it

Gnocchi and southern dumplings aren't stuffed at all.

oh true! so many unstuffed dumps. do we think tteokbokki is a rice dumpling?

I like this thiugh and hadn’t had it before for some reason, makes them seem cuter
Avatar
I think "if it could pass as a pillow were it much larger" might be the dumpling dynamic.
Avatar
interesting, someone else thinks the pillow like status of a ravioli makes it a dumpling as well
Avatar
Dumpling is just a cute word, that has to help.

Unstuffed dumps, new band name, called it

Does the use of potatoes change/influence the gnocchi taxonomy away from pasta? It just doesn't feel like a noodle to me.
