Except looking at the figures it makes Indonesia twice as rich as US.
I guess it depends how you look at it. These figures from Wikipedia make it look like Tokyo has it better:
Five most expensive
1. Iceland - USD 7.45
2. Norway - USD 6.63
3. Réunion - USD 6.23
4. Finland - USD 6.11[4]
5. Sweden - USD 5.33
Five most affordable
1. India - USD 1.40
2. China - USD 1.41
3. Hong Kong - USD 1.54
4. Malaysia - USD 1.57
5. Venezuela - USD 1.58
Ten fastest earned
1. Tokyo, Japan - 10 minutes
2. Los Angeles, United States - 11 minutes
3. Chicago, United States - 12 minutes

No they're not.
All the definitions of dumpling that I've read (and all the ones I've eaten) mention being cooked in broth/soup or being boiled. The biscuits I'm talking about are baked and somewhat crusty/crispy on the outside and flaky/bread-like on the inside.
I just at cereal. Something had to be done about the hunger!
Just threw some ham and cheddar between slices of bread because the bread-which-will-become-garlic-bread-and-accompany-my spaghetti-dinner is still in dough form and won't be ready to eat for another 3 hours.
Eating Savoury eggs.
A little snack.

What about a cobbler?
Quote: David Chapman @ August 13 2008, 10:31 PM BSTWhat about a cobbler?
Wiki saves the day:
Cobbler is a traditional dish in both the United States and the United Kingdom, although the meaning of the term is quite different in each country. In the United States, it is usually a dessert consisting of a fruit filling poured into a large baking dish over a batter that rises through when baking. The batter forms as a dumpling within the cobbler as well as a crust for the top. In the United Kingdom it is usually a savoury meat dish, typically a lamb casserole, which is covered with a savoury scone-like topping—each scone (or biscuit) forming a separable cobbler. Fruit-based versions are also increasingly popular in the United Kingdom—although they still retain the separate cobbler (or biscuit) topping of the meat version—and savoury or meat versions are not unknown in the United States.
I've never heard of a cobbler over here.
Just hear it on American stuff.
I think crumble and cobbler are used interchangeably over here, with cobbler being more common.
I had a nice peach cobbler at the BBQ place last week. Tasty!
What the flipping Norah do you people eat?!
