I think I prefer the size of Empanadas, I've yet to be able to constrain my self to eating just a couple.

Dumplings are my kind of cooking, they float when their done which means I have a chance of cooking them for the right amount of time.

When going to the south of China, south being a relative term, I learned I was a dumpling addict. In China Shanghai is considered south because in ancient China that was considered the southern boarder in many of the dynasties. So back to the point while there I realized I was grateful for living in the North because I find the food more to my preference. Dumplings are a northern food with rice being served at the end of the meals as a filler or not at all. Dumplings and noodles make up a bulk of the food.
I love dumplings but as I pondered this I realized that is not a big surprise. Most countries have their version of the food of which I am addicted to all of them. The South Americans – Empanadas no denying that addiction. Italians – Raviolis okay the number one thing ordered when I eat anywhere that serves pasta. England – Meat Pastries only England can make that work. And lets not forget the good ol’ American Hot Pocket, okay that’s a bit of a stretch but hey breaded deliciousness with an amazing filling.
