Have you seen the new food emojis yet?

The entire editorial team thought I had won the lottery yesterday, I started screaming with such enthusiasm. And actually, that’s exactly how it feels. What I had been looking for for so long is finally here: the dumpling emoji. You get it free of charge when you update your iPhone now. And you get many more fun new food emojis too.

Actually, I would settle for the gorgeous gyoza—or is it the Chinese jiaozi dumpling? This emoji is already so versatile. But in the Asian category, you also get chopsticks, a fortune cookie and a Chinese takeout box. And does a coconut count as Asian too? Either way, you can now spread your love for the tropical fruit to people via WhatsApp.

What else? A raw steak, a soft drink cup, a well-stuffed sandwich, pretzel, raw steak and broccoli. The can with a tomato on it can be interpreted as tomato soup or canned tomatoes, and you now also have a bowl with a spoon in it—who knows what’s in there? Two emojis that let you give your imagination free rein. What a dream.
