This made for an interesting discussion at dinner lol. Lots of opinions on what is or isn’t a “dumpling” xD

    We 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?🤔

      Yeah, 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.

        But what about raviolis then? It seems like a dumpling but it’s also filled pasta. Gets blurry the more I think about it lol
