First, we had to educate ourselves, and were surprised to discover that “wanton” was such a spice word. We had to get permission from the WLBOTT Ministry of Virtue and Vice<\/strong> to proceed with this BLOTT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We repeated the process for “wonton.” Since the word “dumpling” can be problematic, we again sought approval from the WLBOTT Ministry of Virtue and Vice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A wonton (traditional Chinese: \u991b\u98e9; simplified Chinese: \u9984\u9968) is a type of Chinese dumpling commonly found across regional styles of Chinese cuisine. It is also spelled wantan or wuntun in transliteration from Cantonese \u96f2\u541e \/ \u4e91\u541e and wenden from Shanghainese \u991b\u98e9 \/ \u9984\u9968. Even though there are many different styles of wonton served throughout China, Cantonese wontons are the most popular in the West due to the predominance of Cantonese restaurants overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In American Chinese cuisine (and occasionally in Canada as well), wontons are served in two ways: in wonton soup (wontons in a clear broth) and as an appetizer called fried wontons. Fried wontons are served with a meat filling (usually pork) and eaten with duck sauce, plum sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or hot mustard. A version of fried wontons filled with cream cheese and crab filling is called crab rangoon<\/strong>. Another version of fried wontons is filled with cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic.<\/p>\nWikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Since “Crab Rangoon” was mentioned, we offer this handy reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is where we depart from reality….<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the previous BLOTT, we reviewed Elder X’s claim that WLBOTT had a wanton disregard for reality. It should be noted that Elder X is from Canada. Because of the language barrier that exists between Canada and the United States, we’re not sure of Elder X meant wanton or wonton.
