小籠包 (Extra Little Buns)
I was trying to describe a chinese delicacy, called 小籠包, to an american friend but I didn't know its English name. So I went and searched around and I discovered people just call it steamed pork dumplings, What an unsexy name for one of the yummiest things on this Earth. I feel that the name Steamed pork dumplings just don't do justice to the dish.
It then occurred. The romanized name for 小籠包 is Xiao Long Bao. What if we retained the acronym, XLB, and instead called them eXtra Little Buns? Just one of my spur of the moment crazy ideas. ha ha.
