If Melissa made a dumpling shaped like Homer Simpson, would it be made of d'oh?

Hope

1. Why did you take the AI video down? 2. What will be Taha’s project to prove Melissa and Sabrina wrong? 3. This may be my favorite Melissa video ever

Milian Ingco

how did you (melissa) amass such large amounts of knowledge about cooking, and get so good at it? did you just pick up tips and tricks and patterns from watching so many cooking shows or did you really just sit down and kinda "study" it?

Ricardo García

OK, I have a question. Are tamales dumplings? I mean, they are steamed raw dough with fillings, so if we granted tamales the tittle of dumplings then you have a lot more of options since we eat tamales a lot for breakfast and there are also sweet tamales so you could have dessert dumplings.

@answersinprogress I would love Melissa’s next video to be about Palestinian food Palestinian culture could use some more awareness and appreciation

Milian Ingco

oh also how difficult was this video to produce? was it any harder than your other regular shorter videos purely because of the length? (not short but like yk normal length ish videos)

Simon Law

Did you encounter the dumpling emoji saga while researching this video? 🥟

Alexander

I loved the rant at the beginning. You really went down the research rabbit hole there. Did you consider Vietnamese Spring Roll wrappers I think they are rice based. ICBW.

Ellen Gordon

This may be off topic, but why does breakfast food have to be "breakfasty"? I eat left over pasta frequently for breakfast. Am I missing nutrition by not having eggs, for example? Why can't "regular" dumplings be eaten at breakfast time?

Lloyd

Did you consider doing something similar to the bean video and make, for lack of a better term, a one-day restaurant?

Igor Matkowski

I was reading comments from this video and someone wrote "So, after finishing this video I'm convinced Malissa should look into the history of breakfast foods to prove that you can have any food at any time of day." what do you think of this idea?

Juan

I love dumplings but always struggled to make them, specially the dough. I watched the whole video on my tv and loved it.

Kelsey

I joined just so I can ask if Hawai’i got Won Ton Mein or Wor Ton Mein on the list

Rae Press

When coming up with the dough for the pho soup dumpling, did Melissa look at gluten free base recipes to contend with the glutinous and regular rice flour? I'm so curious. I'm gluten intolerant and a lover of dumplings!

Mr. Mitchell

Great video! Begs the question, are Pop Tarts dumplings? Because those are definitely breakfast food 🙂

Lotte Krabbendam

Great video. Great powerpoint. Chefs kiss ✨ My questions: - What was the spreadsheet used for?/What interesting things did you find? - This was more of a ‘Melissa just wanted to do her favourite thing and found a place for it’ - girly pop video, than a typical educational AIP video. How do you feel about the different content/premise/vibe? Was it an exception? Or will it be your new direction for a while? Hope you had as much fun making it as it seemed xxx

James

Why no bean dumplings?

Kim Ho

I am starting to believe that Sabrina and Taha baits Melissa into certain topics and it is Melissa’s mission to prove them wrong! With that, questions: 1. As a multi-speaker, why it feels English speakers (or maybe people in North America specifically?) have the need for things to be encapsulated to fit a really specific way? For example, there is a CBC short documentary related to patty. 2. What is wrong about having X food for a specific meal? For example, farmers in Latin America tend to have heavy meals to break their fast, as they would be out to tend the fields. See, the Colombian bandeja paisa. 3. Melissa, was there any consideration for a dumpling made from (corn) masa? 4. Can we get Melissa an iPad? Considering the cost of her (new) MacBook I was dreading it might fall during her rant!

Elin

For the ikea-dumpling, was it ever considered to use the traditional swedish dumpling called kroppkaka (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroppkaka) made from a potato dough with meat filling? (Regional verion, other versions like palt and kams with smaller differences also exist!) I acknowledge that they look questionable but they taste nice, promise!

Ellen Gordon

New question- why are hand pies not dumplings? They are made with raw dough. And why are matzo balls dumplings? Matzo is a cooked dough (but the egg is raw ...)
