My dumplings are from grandma who came from Norway, they are grated potatoes and flour cooked in ham broth! My grandmother raised 11children in north Iowa, in Worth, Iowa! I’m named after her ! Martha Marie!
The segment about the Chinese community in Mississippi is so fascinating. As a Chinese-American I know we're everywhere but I never thought there would be an extensive presence in the South (I don't know why I would think that being that I'm in Maryland). I'd love to visit that museum someday.
Enjoyed the dumpling travels! My family is a blend of Italian and croatian. My grandmothers dumplings, particularly in chicken papricash were simply a mix of flour egg and salt, boiled and fairly dense, have a snap to them like biting into a shrimp. When I make them I add a little chicken billion to the mix.
1:00 Whenever I hear the word "dumpling", my mind always, immediately, goes to "chicken and dumplings". That was my first introduction to the word, "dumpling". I didn't know there was anything else but: "flour, made into a dough, then plopped into thick chicken soup". Food for when you're home sick as a black kid in Alaska, then California.......... Then I found soup dumplings............ My world was never the same.😅
Love it! Thank you for such a delightful dumpling episode. I have a container of matzo flour and a package of chicken legs. It sounds like a good place to begin. After all, dumplings are a way of stretching what you have on hand. I had some leftover Halloween pumpkin pulp and cooked it with a diced onion, a can of coconut milk, and spices, to make a thick pasta sauce. I had three cups of pasta sauce left. Today, I took 3 cups of water, 4 celery stalks diced, and simmered them with some chicken bullion powder until the celery was tender. Then I added half a cup of red lentils. When the lentils were tender, I added the leftover pasta sauce for a delicious pumpkin-lentil soup. I have two cups of soup leftover. I will add browned ground turkey and diced mushrooms and turn it into another pasta sauce!
What an incredibly beautiful video. A story of so many cultures stretching back in time and making the reality of today so diverse and human. A story wrapped in a dumpling and served with love. I will never eat a dumpling again and not remember this video. My thanks are sent to you during this hard hard time. ❤️💫❤️
My mom was a Californian whose idea of chicken and dumplings was Swanson and fridge biscuits! But the family living behind the store: I was at a Vietnamese restaurant in the '70's and asked if I could use the restroom. He took me to the back wall, pulled back the curtain and pointed to a door across the room. In front of me was the whole family and that was where they lived, grandma to baby. I was impressed by that. They were doing what they had to to get a toe-hold here and, that food was so good, I'm sure they did
I was truly waiting to watch this years ago, but the world went into a shut down....Thank you PBS for putting this out on TH-cam for us.....I love watching Vivian and other chefs.... Its so good to see some of the regulars from Vivian's other show......(smile)
Vivien that was an Awsome deep dive into Dumpling drama ! You really connected the dumplings for us and I understand why I didn’t understand thankyou so very much❤😂
"Nurture and care..." OK. I haven't seen you in a while. Seems like you have attained some gravity (the good kind) since I tuned in last. I haven't watched the entire program yet... but I'm subscribing now.
The question is what is the difference between noodle and dumpling? Just the shape? German Spatzel is just dough roughly cut into boiling water, but the call them dumplings.
I made Spatzel once, and my kitchen looked like a bomb went off. Sticky dough everywhere. I think they have special equipment to make it in Germany, but it still tasted really good
In Taiwan, dumplings are a communal activity. A table of women, dumpling wrappers, and a big bowl of filling. The women sit and gossip while stuffing dumplings.
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED this little primer on dumplings, I love them all. But the ones that I crave and have trouble making are German bread dumplings; I enjoy them so much more than stuffing, but they always fall apart during cooking. Advice? Kudos Vivian and Team!
Worth noting is that several cuisines will have both kinds of dumpling. Italian has ravioli as well as gnocchi; Ashkenazi has kreplach as well as kneidlach. It's just English that's ferkakte enough to bunch 'em under one word.
So I'm looking at the dumpling question in the same way I look at bread: yeasted bread is like a fancier filled dumpling, and drop dumplings are more like quick breads (banana, pumpkin, poppyseed, etc). Both are bread, both are dumplings, but there's a different ethos for each
Such a shame. I live in a vibrant Canadian downtown area where I can buy fresh foods at good prices at thriving Arabic, Chinese, and Korean grocery stores
Until i was about 8, my family ate something called, "corndodgers". (served without greens) Why my mother stopped, i have no idea; it was not until after my mother died did I become nostalgic about this dish, but, of course, my father was clueless. It took forty years to find out what they were (basically a cornmeal dumpling) ad how to make them. I find the section about the " Delta Chinese" fascinating and inspiring.. If i close my eyes, while the ladies speak, it is as if I am home in South Georgia and back in time about 50 years. One of the ladies even sounds like a woman who was a ruling dowager in our little town. In this ridiculous era of MAGA hysteria, people need to remember that it took a tremendous variety of people, working together, that "made America great" to begin with, and, for all the WASPs who want immigrants out, well, sugar plums, starting packing your bags, as well, because your ancesters were immigrants, too. Yes,issues of sustainable infrstructure are valid, but the current xenophobic fever is making this country worse.
If pierogies are dumplings. Then masses of dough should be called lazy dumplings. In Polish those masses are called lazy pierogies. So they are just missing the "lazy" suffix. They are called lazy because you are too lazy to stuff the dough. Instead you mix everything into a solid mass. There is your answer. Southern dumplings are just lazy dumplings. It isn't that complicated or that deep. You are just too lazy to stuff the dough.
When I think of a Jewish dumpling, I think kreplach, not matzo ball. The only solid dumpling I think of is from chicken and dumplings. I clearly have no idea what makes a dumpling.
Drop dumplings are made in NY too for soup. Dont call them southern. My irish and italian great grandmothers made them and they learned from their mothers in italy and Ireland
“Your people” “My people” is so cringy! 😖 Sounds so Southern racist. Wouldn’t a better alternative be: tell me about the history or heritage of this dish or recipe. 👍🏻
It's Southern. It's not racist or offensive, it's personal. No need to sanitize by making it impersonal. Maybe if you aren't from the South you just don't get it.
Saying, "my people/your people," in the south is synonymous with, "my family/your family." It is NOT said in the same spirit as the "othering" phrase, "you people."
First off. this is definitely NOT what I expected. I thought it was going to be a cooking instructional video, which it is not. This was charming. It was adorable. I am genuinely going to find more of these and watch them all. I wish you all the best with your new restaurant. Thank you, from my heart, for this video
One of best cooking educational programs. More of Vivian

What a wonderful and uplifting episode. Thank you Vivian and PBS.
I just love Vivian! She's one of my all time favorite cooks. ♥
Such a gentle rhythm to these educational historo-docustories.
Leaves me smiling at the end, knowing more than I did going in. #morevivian
I love PBS. For over 60 years. Watching food shows with my Mom when I was a kid. 😢
Thank you. I. Really like. All these shows on PBS Food!!!

Amazing stories! 🙏🏼 It felt so familiar
Thank you Vivian...I'm always soooo thrilled when you upload an educational video!!!

These segments are so well produced.
Thank you.

#dumplingdrama
Such a beautiful story. I have learned a lot.
So lovely and gentle. . .
Thank you
This is a lovely video❗️I so enjoy when you go into the homes and eateries to watch and visit the people that make them and their histories.🤩
These are just as enjoyable the second time around.
My favorite dumplings are soup dumplings, they are so hard to make, but worth it! 🙂
10:57 Eating at the Chow house! HA HA HA 😂
"Nurture and care..."

anthony bourdain vibes, respect for the different cultures, awesome!
Tamales are IMHO a Mexican cornmeal dumpling.
The question is what is the difference between noodle and dumpling? Just the shape? German Spatzel is just dough roughly cut into boiling water, but the call them dumplings.
I made Spatzel once, and my kitchen looked like a bomb went off. Sticky dough everywhere. I think they have special equipment to make it in Germany, but it still tasted really good
The definition of dumpling on Wikipedia is so vague that even a Calzone would count as a dumpling.
A pocket of love 💞 it is...
In Taiwan, dumplings are a communal activity. A table of women, dumpling wrappers, and a big bowl of filling. The women sit and gossip while stuffing dumplings.
Love it! ❤
That’s exactly how tamales are made in Mexico as well 😅
I love dumplings. My mother made her with chicken broth.....That minced meat idea seems so delicious woo wee.....
Looks great! Nudi, especially and having grown up in an Italian neighborhood, I’ve never heard of it! Nice show, well done.
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED this little primer on dumplings, I love them all. But the ones that I crave and have trouble making are German bread dumplings; I enjoy them so much more than stuffing, but they always fall apart during cooking. Advice?

and verenekes (which I think is synonymous with kreplach)
@@albertnedelman6648 it really is the English way
I love her work. Some day will eat her food
I have friends that make Dumplings fill with goodness.......Wonderful!!!!!

Yum look good ezt
In Jamaica dumplings are more similar to southern style but they are firmer
Greenwood is my birth place, but raised in Alaska.
So cute hearing Chinese women with a southern accent
Good animation.
A small mass of boiled or steamed dough, noun. The original definition. They can be just dough or filled. Not that complicated.
Such a shame. I live in a vibrant Canadian downtown area where I can buy fresh foods at good prices at thriving Arabic, Chinese, and Korean grocery stores
So are hand pies giant dumplings? Or are dumplings miniature hand pies?
❤

bc they going by souther and they do drop busit/dumpling so she associated with southern dumpling.
Drop dumplings are made in NY too for soup. Dont call them southern. My irish and italian great grandmothers made them and they learned from their mothers in italy and Ireland

Her intention isn't othering. My people doesn't necessarily mean family. No one else seems to be bothered by this except you.🤷♀

at the end they did the matz ball /drop busicut and flat noodles step by step
