    How about first assessing your selective memory loss? You kicked (haiya) it all off with the sauerkraut comment and went on and on about dim sims.

    Since you're so enthralled by its "sim" pronunciation and its preparation, here's a bit of your history....

    Celebrity chef Elizabeth Chong is known to television audiences .... She told 774 ABC Melbourne's Red Symons that her father, William Chen Wing Young, invented and popularised the Australian dim sim in the 1940s.

    -----The name derives from the pronunciation diim syiim (點心) in Toisanese, the predominant dialect spoken at the time by Central Melbourne's Chinese community.

    So it's not from Sum Dum C....

    Well you do sound a lot that green creeper, seemingly remunerated with his running commentary ad nauseam! Fair enough but if you turn around you'll see it's actually your own tail bone wagging it!
