The Disputatious History of Dumplings: Where Do They Come From, and Why Does it Matter?
Open Access DepositedThe word “dumpling” brings to mind various dishes from cultures across the world, from the Chinese jiaozi to the Polish pierogi. By understanding the nature of these dumplings, a clearer view of each culture and how they interact can be formed. This paper defines the dumpling, assessing various sources with disparate definitions. It explores various potential origins of the dumpling, analysing theories and their evidence about origins and change over time based on disciplines including archaeology, cultural histories, and folklore. An understanding of human nature and the flaws that commonly appear in cross-cultural and multicultural research is outlined to better understand how the history of the dumpling should be assessed.
