Is there a reason that it's impossible to find Crab Rangoon at ALL in New York, yet in Boston, every single place has it? Not that I'm judging the relative greatness of cities based on one Chinese dish, but I'm just wondering what the reason for this is. Grahamdubya 23:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dim sum

Should this be in the Dim sum category? Badagnani 22:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

Should "Rangoon" be capitalized in the name of this dish? I think it should. Badagnani 22:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Wrapper shape

A minor thing, the shape that the wrapper is folded varies from area to area. In St. Louis the four edges are pulled in to the center so that it resembles a four-petalled flower. The petals are good for scooping up sauce, yum! Here on the east coast I can only find the triangle kind. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.72.90 (talkcontribs)

I think the square kind is found elsewhere as well, as witnessed by some photos on Flickr. Badagnani 21:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Purely original research, but - in Springfield IL, Champaign IL, and St. Louis MO I have seen the square/four-petaled version. I have seen a pure triangle (similar to http://www.joesportsfan.com/jsfpics/columns/crabrangoon_400.jpg) in Milwaukee WI, and a 'folded' triangle (where the two lower corners are folded inward, then outward again, similar to http://www.mr-wok.com/images/rangoon-big.jpg) in St. Louis MO. There also appear to be varieties of similar construction to tortellini (http://www.coachingcooking.com/appetizers-crab-rangoon/ or a commercially prepared http://www.nantucketsupreme.com/img/ns_crab_rangoon_box.jpg), though I'm only familiar with 'fried wonton' (filled with meat) presented in that shape. Note that there also appears to be a square non-petaled version as well (http://cooklady.com/uploaded_images/crabrangoon-768708.jpg).74.134.225.104 19:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is good. Badagnani 20:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
