i feel like most american/western european foods can but branching off into other cuisines, especially panasian, i feel like it's harder to categorize them.
No, because we have things like fish, meat and rice. I will not say that those things are salads, sandwiches or soup?

yeah, theer's simply no way that every food could be categorized as one of the three. like, what if you're eating meat but itself? or fruits or vegetables? like, just because you can make a salad, soup or sandwich, with practically everything, that isn't always the way you eat it. like, for example, an apple.
if anyone can categorise dumpling im impressed lol

dumplings are dumplings, plain and simple. XD
audacious attempt at categorization incominggggg
the only reasonable arguments in favor of a dumpling being a sandwich is the fact that both encase a filling in a starch-based casing, both are portable and bite-sized, and if calzones or empanadas can sneak into the sandwich category, why not dumplings? a crazy stretch of logic that ignores culinary whatever but i meeannnnn
(i love this argument. it’s so stupid i have to be so serious about it 😂)
theoretically it could be! Wraps are considered sandwiches right? And that’s like dumplings, multiple ingredients wrapped in something else? So kind of sandwich-esque (I can’t spell sandwich this took too long)
that is so real, I always want to spell it with a t lol
I was sitting there wondering if it also had another h
why is it that such common words can be so hard to spell? 😅
dumplings are dumplings 😭
tell a Chinese person a dumpling is a sandwich it will not go down well lol
