I sometimes do crave for these, especially when the night is cold and the stomach empty, but these are not the healthiest of foods.

when i was living in taiwan, there were a few dumpling stands near my house so for the most part, i went out for them. my favorite dippings sauce consists of black vinegar, a little soy, sesame oil and red pepper paste.

the commercially stuff is great for when it's late at night and you're hungry. sometimes i make a simple soup and throw the dumplings in but i agree, for the most part, i try to avoid them. in the states, it's really hard to find good dumplings. the best i've had so far are from a little restaurant in arcadia that my gf took me to. i'll have to get the name for you guys...

Hehe, it's ok, my main cans are AKG K-340s.

Wasn't 1911 the one who couldn't figure out how to use his Orpheus because of some issue with the keys?

(If not, nevermind...)

Oh yeah, I like dumplings a lot, they taste good unless they taste like the fart 1911 described. That made me laugh so hard as I tried to imagine it... and found out I could... not that I've ever had that kind of fart before...

I have had some pretty horrible dumplings in my life, though. Mostly at places serving dim sum.

Actually, if the Pandas in the San Diego Zoo ever have another offspring, they could name her "Dump Ling"

On a more serious note...while I find (besides my wife's home-aders) that fried dumplings in a dipping sauce are the best tasting "filled" dumplings there are, I find it hard to validate eating them while trying to keep my boyish figure and wondering what the mystery meat is inside them.

However, sometimes a hot dog from a NYC street cart can be a tasty treat.

I can't believe how many posts this thread has gotten...being an audio site and all.
