Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Trace the diverse and delicious history of dumplings, from their first recorded origins to their spread across the Asian continent and beyond. As archaeologists pored over ancient tombs in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened over 1, 000 years, there sat little crescent-shaped dumplings. So who invented these plump pockets of perfection, and how did they spread across the world? Miranda Brown traces the tangled, mysterious historical web of dumplings.

Love the video, but why don't you guys credit your animators? The link to their website is in the description (at the bottom) but otherwise I do not see their name credited aside the directors/producers/script editors/etc (unless I missed it. These animators put a lot of work into making these videos so educating, would like to see them credited at the same level as the rest of the crew.

I have a theory that dumplings, or food encased in dough, became a favourite staple dish among cultures because the dough, which encased the meat within, helped keep the meat from spoiling as quick as other alternatives of food, and also helped shield the meat from bacteria and other contents in the air while outside. It also made it an easier dish to transport.

Our country Nepal has Momo (dumpling, it was made by Newari community in 15 century and later when the princess of Nepal was married off to a Tibeaten King, the dish also got distributed among many east asian countries. It's the most eaten food here nowadays

Afghanistan (Khorasan) where most of the people from central Asia were once connected have Mantu. It almost doesn't make sense because turks were Nomads. not agricultural people. They started to settle and assimilated with the persian speaking of Central Asia.

I am Polish, my girlfriend is Taiwanese and this is one of the main things we tease each other about. We agree on each culture's approach, except for fruit filled dumplings - she thinks they are an abomination, while I love blueberry pierogi with (ice) cream.

Keep it up! Those dumplings look nice. The animator deserves a raise. Only problem is, eyes are too small, other than that, LIVE THE ANIMATION (also please pin this comment if you check your comments and do this voluntarily)

Would you include Cornish Pasties?
Apart from their size they are the same thing though of course baked.
They do suggest the different folks just wrap a filling in a dough/pastry. A pie without a dish of varying sizes

It's mind blowing how much varieties of dumplings there are. in southern India, the dumplings (Called kozhukkatta by locals) is often filled with jaggery and grated coconut and is eaten as a snack, it's really good
