Turns out that coming with a consistent definition of a dumpling is is really hard. My entire university class had a big argument about this and we never managed to settle it. The options above are some that were most heavily featured in the discussion.

On market close, I will create a poll for each of these dumplings. The options will be Yes, No, and Don't know. Each answer resolves YES if the sum of Yes answers exceeds the sum of No answers. The poll will come after a question that asks you for your definition of a dumpling, since I want your dumpling choices to make sense.

Some open dumpling questions:

• Does a dumpling need to be fried, boiled, or cooked some other way?

• Does a dumpling need to be closed?

• Does a dumpling need to be savory?

• Does the wrapper need to be made of dough?

• Does it need to be wrapped in a certain way?

There will be another question about definitions if people are interested.
