Now this is home made pasta. Ain't American usage interesting! My
maternal grandmother learned to cook in her native Kentucky and used
the word 'dumpling' in two ways. Chicken n' dumplings was chicken,
onion, carrots, etc topped with what were essentialy light biscuits and
cooked in the oven so the top was lightly browned. The other was apple
dumplings which were whole, spiced, peeled and cored apples baked in a
wrapper of pie crust. Both were memorable.
