Every culture has its own version of dumplings. From Chinese Jiaozi, Japanese Gyoza, Italian Ravioli, to Indian momos and more.
National Dumpling Day was initiated by TMI Food Group in 2015 in the US to honour the taste and variety of dumplings. Although not an official holiday, the day is well-liked by food enthusiasts, with restaurants often commemorating the day with special menus and deals.
The day is used to show how dumplings can unite people from various cultures, reflecting the common appreciation of this tasty item.
There are a number of fun ways that you can celebrate National Dumpling Day. For example, you might attempt to make different varieties of dumplings, trying other fillings from across the globe.
In addition, you can go out to a restaurant and taste a new recipe. To spice up the day further, you can invite your family and friends over to a dumpling party. Don't forget to post your creations or your favourite dumpling variety on social media to share the happiness.
We think National Dumpling Day is more than just about celebrating food. It is a reminder of how something so simple can unite people and heritage across the world, regardless of what form or flavour they are served.
Dumplings represent comfort and joy; hence, the celebration of the day is an opportunity to appreciate the diversity of its flavours. In fact, why limit it just to dumplings? Any type of food, whether at the family dining table, a restaurant or during a community event, can create moments of togetherness and happiness that extend way beyond the plate.
Therefore, celebrating National Dumpling Day provides a chance to celebrate the diversity of international cuisines, experiment with something new or just enjoy the nostalgia associated with comforting food.
