Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we packed our picnic baskets.
Are dumplings the perfect food? The case can certainly be made. They’re incredibly diverse, tasty and comforting, are excellent to freeze for later, and can be paired with a dizzying array of sauces and soups to form almost any kind of meal. For the purposes of this food list, a dumpling is any dough stuffed with a filling — and a food item that you usually need to eat at least a handful of in order to make a meal, thus differentiating them from larger filled doughs like hand pies, empanadas, samosas, etc. (Although that would also make an excellent food list.)
