粵菜問題: The difference between 餃 and 角
Hi,
Lately I've been really into eating Cantonese cuisine or to be more specific, dim sum.
There is this place in LA Chinatown I like called Lucky Deli where I like to try different things each time I'm there.
I had a question -- what is the difference between 餃 and 角?
-----
For example,
蝦餃, 海鮮餃, 韭菜餃
vs.
奶王角, 豆沙角, 叉燒角
唔該!

I think it really depends on how Lucky Deli translates food and food variety (if they are dim sum or Chinese food in other regions in China).
For 角 is more on telling you the shape and texture of food. It is always harder outside, like deep-fried / pastry / fritter, with meat / veggies / sweet filling inside.
But 餃 has many cooking methods, can be steamed 蒸餃, fried煎餃, deep-fried 炸餃. Very diverse in texture (from soft to crispy outside, with meat/veggies inside). Usually no sweet filling.
Specifically in your case:
蝦餃, 海鮮餃, 韭菜餃 (all steamed for these examples)
vs.
奶王角, 豆沙角 (deep-fired and sweet inside), 叉燒角 (pastry, savory and slightly sweet bbq pork inside)

Generally speaking, 餃 are steamed or boiled dumplings and 角 are deep fried.
