CNN
Dim sims, affectionately called dimmies in Australia, are a variant of a traditional Chinese dumpling and have become an iconic dish in Melbourne and beyond. But who invented them? The answer is complicated.
(CNN) — Every Friday, Ross Harrington, a car dealership service manager in Melbourne, heads to a local lunch shop to pick up a couple of deep-fried dim sims, kicking off his weekend dim sim routine. Harrington is the founder of Dim Sims 4 Lyfe, a Facebook community made up of about 5,000 dim sim enthusiasts who share their experiences and innovative recipes -- dim sims on pizza, for example. They aren't alone in their obsession.More Related News
