TRANSCRIPT:
Girl: Good morning, what can I do for you'? 
Peter: Uh, yes, I am currently visiting this area, but I injured myself when I was
doing sports a while ago, and I still feel painful, so I wondered whether 1 could go
for a doctor here. 
Girl: Sure sir, we can take you on as a temporary patient. I'll just take down some
personal details of you. May I have your name, please? 
Peter: Yes, it's Peter Smith. 
Girl: All right, Peter. And where are you currently staying here? 
Peter: At 95 Cross Street. 
Girl: And the county? 
Peter: Walkley. That's W-a-l-k-l-e-y. 
Girl: OK, and can I have a contact number? 
Peter: Uh, it's 4689 5324. 
Girl: OK, thanks. May you just wait down there! The doctor will see you in a
minute. 
Doctor: Now, how can I help you? It's Peter Smith, isn't it? 
Peter: Yes, I had a sporting accident, and a doctor at home treated me, but I'm still
getting some pain. 
Doctor: Hum, right. Uh, first of all, I want to ask you a few questions. 
Peter: Okay. 
Doctor: Well, what sport were you doing when you got injured? 
Peter: Playing tennis with my friends. 
Doctor: Now, I see. Did you hurt your elbow or wrist?
Peter: Oh, no. I had my knees sprained, which was the original problem. 
Doctor: Right, and when did this happen? 
Peter: Uh, that was three weeks ago now, so it was about June 18th. 
Doctor: Hum. And, you said you had medical treatment at home? 
Peter: Uh, yeah. The doctor said I didn't need an X-ray or things alike, and he just
told me to use an ice pack. 
Doctor: Fine, anything else?
Peter: Yes, and I've been using a walking stick to help me get around. 
Doctor: Right, now what problems are you having during walking? 
Peter: Well, actually I can walk, yet I still can't go upstairs, so I've been sleeping
downstairs. 
Doctor: Hum, now you said your knee still gets hurt'? 
Peter: Well, no. Actually, it's getting better. It's my back that's hurting  me now. It
really aches at night, and I cannot sleep well. 
Doctor: Hum, I have several suggestions for that. 
Peter: Great. 
Doctor: First you should put the stick away as that's probably the source of  the
problem. 
Peter: Oh, really? I wish I'd know. 
Doctor: After that, I can prescribe you something to relax the muscles in your
back. 
Peter: Oh, sorry to be difficult, but I've had something like that in the past, and
there were many side effects, and I don't want to take it. Would you recommend
anything else? 
Doctor: Well, yes. We do have a leaflet showing some exercises you can do
yourself at home. If you do them every day, they'll soon be effective. 
Peter: Great. I'll do that.

10.16th century
As archaeologists pored over ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they
discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened
from over 1,000 years, there sat little crescent-shaped dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect
they were first spread around parts the ancient world by nomadic Turkic
peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case
because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic
languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other
languages. Ancient Turkic people probably stuffed their dumplings with meat. But
it’s unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-
making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam
in ancient China.
That’s where they first appear in the written record: more than 1,700 years ago, in
a mouthwatering rhapsody by scholar Shu Xi. In his poem, Shu alludes to certain
cooking methods coming from alien lands. He describes a steamed wheat product
as “mantou.” And he reverentially chronicles the preparation of kneaded dough
balls called “lao wan.” They’re packed with pork, mutton and aromatics, dipped in
black meat sauce, then quickly gobbled up, leaving people downwind to drool and
fantasy-feast.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand
years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities opted for
vegetarian dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. And because
wheat was harder to cultivate outside of northern China, those in other regions
began making dumplings using rice, tapioca, and sweet potato. The relationship
between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food
historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Turkic tribes spread and eventually established the Ottoman Empire around 1300
CE, bringing wrapped morsels west with them. In what’s now Turkey, most people
wouldn’t have stuffed dumplings with pork due to Islamic restrictions. Instead,
manti would come to be filled with ingredients like lamb, drizzled with garlic,
yogurt, and melted butter, then topped with herbs and spices.
Some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also helped disseminate
dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings
could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the
Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings
like Russian pelmeni, and the larger pierogi and vareniki, eaten in Poland and
Ukraine, stuffed with things like potato, cabbage, cheese, and cherries. The
Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced
dumplings there, where “mandu” may be eaten with regional ingredients like
kimchi.
Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more
countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings. The term means “little
lumps” and is thought to have been first used in 16th century England to describe
dough balls dropped in liquid.
