Guess what this is a photo of!

[Katie H]

Albino Hershey's kisses from the Arctic Circle?

 

[Jeekinz]

lol....nope

 

[phinz]

They look like Chinese Zhong, such as this.

 

[Poutine]

Well I will keep guessing in case Phinz is incorrect.

Are they mini buns/ dumplings?

P.S.
I used the term dim sum incorrectly (it is too broad of a term).

 

[Poutine]

Here is a picture of them from my freezer
OK I thought I was putting a picture here but I messed up somehow.


What is Chinese zhong? I tried searching but I am not always very good at it.

 

[Poutine]

trying for a picture again
sorry about this

I got a picture!! YA!
I'm off to The Mall (West Edmonton Mall - the only mall for me). I am giong to look around the Chinese store while I am there and try to look to see if I can find Zhong or other things that look like the picture.

 

[Jeekinz]

Nope, sorry. Looks real close though. Not from China...or the Arctic.



[ I thought it was going to be easy I love these things :P ]

If these looked like your zhong, the chef would be considered a novice.

That picture was off of somebody else's site and was taken in China. Perhaps he was visiting the Beijing School of Dumpling Making.

They could be [FONT=trebuchet ms, verdana, arial]xiaolongbao or baozi, but that's China too.

[Jeekinz]

Hint: Get outta China

 

[phinz]

They could also be Himalayan Momos. Dumplings look like dumplings look like dumplings. There's not much in the picture to set one apart from another.

 

[Jeekinz]

I'll narrow it down a little. They are not from: China, Japan, Korea or any other oriental country. (is that pc?) Oh well, they are mainly filled with ground lamb, pork or beef.

 

[phinz]

No "oriental" country, or no *Asian* country? Big difference.

 

[Jeekinz]

The top of the "dumpling" is called the kudi.

 

[phinz]

Then they're probably Khinkali from Georgia, which look like xaolingbao and zhong.

 

[Aria]

Lamb suggest Syria or Lebanon?

 

[Jeekinz]

Then they're probably Khinkali from Georgia, which look like xaolingbao and zhong.

DING DING DING!!!

My wife is from Georgia. I love those friggin things. She yells at me when I eat the whole thing. Good job Phinz.

 

[phinz]

Yeah. You're supposed to leave the kudi behind so you can keep track of how many of them you've eaten.

It's late. I'll find something tomorrow. Sweet dream pholks!

This may be a difficult one. To some of us it's a timeless icon and a wonderful memory of good times. To others it's probably just a rock. What is it called and where is it?
