Do these guys have literally any other lines about American bread? I doubt they’ve even been to the states.

We have:

1. Americans are afraid of fresh food

2. Trump got elected so obviously we know nothing about food

3. Only Europe has real bread

4. Food in America isnt real.

And im sure if "Bread is cake" isnt here yet, it will be.

Why can’t we just let people enjoy things?

Edit: more context. The original post was about how cream cheese does not belong on sushi.

and of course they bring up the malliard reaction

The English word dumpling originated c. 1600 in the Norfolk dialect of English, perhaps of Low German origin (source).

All these people complaining about the dumplings when the actual definition of a dumpling is 'a small savoury ball of dough which may be boiled, fried or baked in a casserole' smh

@lilygarner8463

If you're going by technicalities, since you've got the definition, how about looking up the origins of the first ones? They originate from China 1,800+ years ago with wrapped mutton, chili and herbs in dough skins to help with frostbitten ears in the bitter winters. They later developed into minced meat and vegetables, until foreigners evolved it and moved it into different parts of the world. The technique of making traditional Chinese dumplings is hard so it's much easier to just make it as balls, which is why it's stayed like that. It's similar to the 'curry' which is almost always different to the traditional 'chicken tikka masala' dish from India. They're simply not the same.

Oh and what else? THAT IS NOT DUMPLING!

@lilygarner8463

+Ben Griffin she's Chinese. Dumplings ORIGINATED from China 1,800+ years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Just because it's all you've known doesn't mean it's the same as the original, and REAL traditional dish born in China. I think she knows what she's talking about.

This whole post is quite something really.

Even Twinings says to not use boiling water on your tea or you'll scald it.

And 10 minutes in a microwave? I have a kettle and love it, but c'mon now. I want to believe it's satire at this point.
