If you want the dumplings to go in a chicken stew........add a good pinch of sage to the dry mix......this will make your dumplings extra delicious.
I use sage and onion stuffing mix in my dumplings (for chicken dishes anyway), but I am not sure if they have such a delicacy over there where you are.

Bears, hon, .... cute and cuddly, if you are ever in Canada, feel free to pet one

And the momma bears just love it if you pick up their cubs and try to take them home

Kodiaks are the sweetest natured of the bunch, like Polar Bears they are very friendly, and love humans so much they invite them to dinner.

I love dumplings but have never once had the urge to make them. I might give it a go - NOT!!!!! - go to a Brewers Fayre and order them there!

Well, I 'aint got Goldilocks hair Eric .... so will give it a miss.

So remember 'HON' (have I got it right now ?..

) Remember very important how you rub them balls into dumplings.

Not a bad idea .... but I want to get down and dirty, and make something English ethnic .... sort of a "roots" thing

I remember that my gran used to make them and they were great, as were her steak and kidney puddings (my next project) ... but if I fail, I will visit the store of my buddy, Mario Gencarelli, and try the gnocchi mix.

Yup ... you got it right ... keep working at it and you will be able to speak Canadian in no time, eh. And the key is to say "eh" at least four times in one sentence

And would those be grizzly "balls"

That might be difficult, because I don't think a bear would react kindly to having its balls rubbed in flour.

Read the link ... Algonquin Park is just north of here, and that's where I go camping every summer .... lots of bears; but if you follow the simple rules, they don't bother you.

Simple rules Eric,

I should think thre's only one rule when a bear comes into camp, exit stage left at a great rate of knotts

I dont appreciate suet, so if I ever make dumplings I just use butter instead - (in standard shortcrust pastry recipe proportions).

What do you folks see so special about suet?
Can you detect a flavour difference?

Dunno if I can detect a flavour difference, always had suet Dumplings, was unaware you could make them with butter.
