Talk:Dim sim

message: The picture shown here is not a normal australian dim sim. It is possible that it is a (much less common than normal dim sims) "large dim sim". Maybe I will go and get a real australian dim sim and upload it. The picture looks much closer to the original chinese version than the aussie version.

text: Site was down, but I agree the photo in the article is not representative.  Should look more like a really short, fat sausage.  —DIV (128.250.80.15 (talk) 05:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

message: What exactly is the difference to the Dim Sum article? Unclear! Not sure the Dim Sims are that different from the westernised versions of Dim Sums
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum
If there is a difference, could someone pls explain, include it in this article, and cross-reference in "Dim Sum" as well  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sab ya (talk • contribs) 01:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

text: What's that rubbish? Are Americans now able to determine how to separate Chinese dishes? What would be the Chinese of Dim sim? Also 点心? That means there is no difference in Chinese. 点心 is any kind of snack. Using the term for something specific is just wrong. --2.245.254.8 (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

message: "as the dim sim has very strong gingery taste to it that is uncommon in authentic Chinese food"
I can't say that I've ever tasted a dim sim with strong ginger flavours. I've tasted MANY ginger-dominated dishes in China. Is this a joke?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.63.0.223 (talk) 03:28, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I added a "citation needed" tag to the statement that it is widely believed that Young invented the dim sim. I can find a lot of web references that would seem to support this, but they all appear to merely be quoting the Wikipedia page, which for a long time did indeed say that Young had invented it. I find it hard to believe that this is a widely held belief, certainly isn't in my own experience. Since Young's claim of originator is not true, it seems more likely that Young made this claim merely as a bit of self-promotion, though that is just speculation. Perhaps he believes he invented it.WikiLambo (talk) 05:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

message: What the hell is a "dimrock"? I've genuinely never seen it used – neither have I seen the terms "dimmie" or "dimmo". The only references I could find to these names in relation to the dim sim are referencing this article, so I've gone ahead and removed them. - AConfusedVarmint (talk) 06:30, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have heard of a dimmie (although I'd never even thought about how it might be spelt), but such content obviously needs to be cited to a reliable source, which we obviously didn't have. HiLo48 (talk) 06:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @HiLo48 Their isn't any reliable sources for the name dimmie because it possibly only exists in spoken language.  I'll definitely keep an ear out while watching Australian cinema.  lion Brand.com spells it dimmy, it's spelt dimmie on Wiktionary and the Macquarie dictionary word map spells it dimmie. I think that the Macquarie Dictionary could be considered enough of a secondary source. 124.170.101.42 (talk) 14:05, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
