Disagree[edit]

The dumplings can be put in with the chicken to cook without any ill effects. Boiling chicken for an extra 10 minutes like this does not dry the chicken out. 41.232.148.2 (talk) 07:47, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more precis[edit]

Chicken and Dumplings is a popular food

WHERE?? Australia, Mauritius, England, Ireland Mexico, France... ? guess...

combining the two ingredients in its name. Even though it is common to hear people say dumplings[citation needed],

WHERE?? WHEN? WHO??

a dumpling is a mixture of dough and water formed into a ball. Chicken and Dumplings were first introduced

WHERE?

in the early 17th century.' "Dumpling. A term of uncertain origin

NOT AT ALL In England they were eating dumplings since who knows when, surelly long before the 17th century and used the term DUMPLINGS for it..

which first appeared in print at the beginning of the 17th century,

WHERE? WHO?

although the object it denotes--a small and unusually globular mass of boiled or steamed dough--no doubt existed long before that."

OF COURSE

Later appearances of the "dumpling" 'appear in many varied cultures in and around the world.

LATER? Later than beginning of the 17th century?

Imagine somebody in Italy reading this article. They have no idea what Chicken and Dumplings is. Please be more precis. Warrington (talk) 21:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Bott boi[edit]

I reviewed this new page but would like community input on whether it should be merged with the existing article Chicken and dumplings. There seems to be no difference between the two dishes (thick square cut noodle dough cooked in chicken broth), though bott boi is what the dish is called amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch. James Beard says they are the same dish in his "American Cookery" and most of the information in the bott boi article overlaps. Seraphim System ^(talk) 03:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having eaten both of these dishes many times, I believe them to be distinct. An internet search for these two will yield different recipes for different things. They certainly are similar, however, they are not quite identical. ThanksChimneyrock (talk) 19:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chimneyrock: James Beard is a pretty well known expert for American cuisine. Can you please post some of the WP:RS you are basing this on? Seraphim System ^(talk) 21:02, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After further research it seems that these are probably similar enough to merge these two. Chimneyrock (talk) 13:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support the merge. Small differences can be dealt in the subsection. --Maumivi (talk) 12:50, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:45, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
