.Jiaozi (饺子) ARE NOT 'dumplings'

Just look dammit;


  Jiaozi("Chinese dumplings" - pah!)



Western Equivalent:

  Ravioli                    Dumplings

You tear a dumpling open and it's like 
dense doughy bread: *sometimes* with 
something inside.  Jiaozi are like pasta 
stuffed with meat etc. They are like 
ravioli.
