Pumps' Perplexities

As a decent cook I have a wide and varied collection of cookbooks.....
One of them is a Chinese book with Indian food recipes.......

Human nature is indeed funny......You can go to Barnes and Noble
and find an English book with Italian, Middle Eastern, Spanish
food recipes and no one raises and eyebrow......But a Chinese
cookbook on Indian food????......

While the recipes are different in Chinese and Indian cooking,
some spices are common to both styles......So a woman in
Hong Kong can easily change her family's dinner to an Indian
dish if she chose to.....The only draw back is that Indian
cooking is somewhat of a more lengthily process......(Stews and
sauces).....Whereas, Chinese cooking is open-flamed pan (wok)
tossed and much quicker.....

How many different "dumpling" foods can you think of???......
Let's say Italian ravioli is #1.......Pumps
