[Sca-cooks] Period or no?

[kattratt]

Might have been said, but couldn't Chicken Noodle Soup be period? Pasta 
or noodles which is a form of dumpling (It is flour eggs and water)and 
when the pasta is rolled thicker it would almost be dumpling like... If 
bread and pasta were both period then I would say Yes Chicken and 
Dumplings Could have been period... Now recipes??? Nope I do not have 
any.  But I would argue that dumplings could have been period I simply 
don't have the proof.
