The most special foodway for me is making dumplings together with my families. In Chinese culture dumpling is one of the representative foods of the Chinese New Year. It have several special meanings: the shape of a dumpling is just like the Chinese ingots which signify the good wishes of been wealth and fortune; moreover, dumplings are stuffed by all kinds of forcemeat, legume and vegetables which are endowed of sweet blessings; when make dumplings, families always share out the work and help one another. It is quite a warm atmosphere. While eating dumplings, we like to watch the special celebrating TV show for welcoming the New Year.
I also love dumplings! Although in my own family we rarely eat them, but when we do it is a treat. I like how the dumplings are such a simple food but can hold so much meaning in your culture.
ReplyDeleteI like dumplings too! I've only had them a few times though, I don't eat pork so I had some stuffed with vegetables but they were really good. I learned about the meaning of the shape of the dumpling in my Chinese class and I think that is really cool.
