dumpling
This term covers a wide variety of global cuisines, ranging from the filled parcels of East Asia to the unleavened dough drops found in European stews. While the term is broad, the distinction usually lies in whether the dough serves as a wrapper for a filling or as a standalone starch component of a dish.
When used to describe a person, the word carries a warm, affectionate tone. It specifically evokes an image of softness and roundness, making it a common term of endearment for infants or small children, though it should be used cautiously with adults to avoid implying unwanted plumpness.
