Arri-- I dont know! Ive never had a fried dumpling. What I know as a
"dumpling" is pretty much a biscuit, but dropped into a stew or chicken
broth. I never even thought about frying one. Sounds good.

My guess is, yes, probably much the same.

"Ive tried and tried to make the johnnycakes the way they do
there....never got close. It's basically a deep-fried biscuit...only,
somehow, they're very light and puffy, where mine always turn
out...well, let's just say they make great door stops.

Is that related to 'dumpling', which is also deep-fried dough?
Salt cod or ackee in a 'dumpling' is a great snack. Can't get that
around here "
