Poll: Chicken and Dumplings

[angelohorn]

I grew up on the balls of dough. My grandmother and mother both made them this way. I married my wife and she rolls them out into strips. Relatively thick. More like squares, I guess. This was a complete game changer for me. I always kind of liked chicken and dumplings because I thought the dumplings were to doughy - but the squares! WOW! Definitely a fave.

I don't get my dumplings from Cracker Barrel so no thin strips.

I wouldn’t get anything from Cracker Barrell

And gravy on top

cream gravy

I like both of them, but the big dumplings are my favorite.

That’s what she said.

This cold weather was perfect for a pot of chicken and dumplings. We use my wife's grandmother's recipe which was handed down for a century or more. Funny thing is, when Big Momma made them, they were big gooey dough balls, but when her daughter (wife's aunt) made them, they were rolled out thin and cut into strips - which to me was just chicken noodle soup. How do you like them?

thin and cut out aren’t dumplings....that’s spaghetti.

 

[Suchomel]

I’m good either way.

Me too.

Definitely strips. Dough balls are gross.

Go kosher. Matzo ball. As for @TheAssquatch circumcised dick

more medium size. Easiest thing to do is just get a can of biscuits pop them open and cut each one into 4ths or halves if you want larger dumplings. Biscuits are perfect dumplings

 

[txlonghorn4x4]

In between. I like them fluffy, but not too big and undercooked dough.

Agreed.

 

[SouthAustinHorn]

This "strips" method doesn't sound like dumplings at all.

 

[Rattler14]

I like my dumplings like I like my women. Big and doughy.

 

[orangeuglad]

I don’t really care as long as they taste good.

Being a snob certainly fits with your personality

FIFY

This. good food has no hard and fast rules. Betting Hitler liked his food only a certain way.

So you prefer your hotdogs with mayo just for a change of pace? 😉

 

[gjman65]

I would have liked to have seen that. She was one tough old gal. She once held a shotgun on an oilfield crew and made them fix her fence they knocked down because her cows were getting out.

Did she use a spittoon or just spit on the floor?

 

[gjman65]

@solman1972 likes beans in his chicken and dumplings...

How else would you make them?

Big Momma’s way.

I last ate dumplings when I was 9 years old. Hasn't been long enough for me to try them again. I don't know how you guys choke them down.

 

[sendero95]

This! As long as they’re cooked correctly...ZFG

 

[dirtlawyer]

I make them from my great grandmothers recipe. Rolled out thick strips......

Share the recipe?

 

[magnahorn]

I like the rolled out chewy dumplings. Don't know anything about dumpling strips though.

Fluffy balls are something but they're not dumplings. Dumplings are supposed to be made out of dough. I like the dense chewy dough-like dumplings my German grandmother always made.

I always figured she would know if anyone did. She ran a cafe for over 40 years and all the recipes were hers. She would get up at 4:00 am every morning at start by making the homemade pies. Man, everything she cooked was good.

Big and bold!

It's interesting how life experiences influence how we perceive things. I grew up in rural East Texas. Serve me chicken & dumplings and it's an immediate flashback to poverty and a desire to escape. Same goes with Salisbury steak, beanie weenies, and chicken smothered in cream of mushroom soup. Amazingly, I can still enjoy red beans & rice, fied catfish and frito chilli pie.

Interesting. Most of those dishes were staples at diners where I was growing up and those diners were always seen as the go to places to eat because of the food, the quality and the conversation. Different strokes for different folks...

Give me those Anna Nicole dumplings

I miss my Mom's chicken and dumplings, was one of my favorite meals she used to make.

However the hell Cracker Barrel makes them. Son of a bitch, those things are addictive.

That's why I said it was interesting. I don't associate chicken & dumplings with good memories, for whatever odd reason. But, I do when it comes to cornbread, rolls, biscuits, and other country staples.

That's pretty sad. Usually I associate certain foods to good memories with family, friends etc. Regardless of the status in live.

I'm not sure why that's sad. It doesn't bother me. Plus, I have an extensive list of food with bad associated memories: Taco Bell, tequila, et al.
