Isn’t ravioli just a dumpling?

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 34 points 10 months ago (12 children)

Just like chili is a stew (which is a very thick soup) and hot dogs (and tacos) are open faced sandwiches and so forth.

Pretty much all of these memes fall apart if you at all know how to cook. Which is probably why they are so lasting.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The memes are intended to show the absurdity of trying to apply strict classificationss to something as varied as food.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago

This is a strict classification of why these memes fall apart.

Somehow, I agree to ravioli=dumpling but can’t go as far as saying that pop-tart equals anything in that category

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Poptart seems more like a turnover to me.

Easy. First off:

Pop-tarts are calzones.

More fights:

Greek salad is fruit salad

Paris sucks

Chick-fil-A isn't actually good

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Pop-tarts are calzones.

This is more accurate than ravioli but its still the wrong kind of dough. Pop-tarts are empanadas.

Greek salad is fruit salad

True.

Paris sucks

Never been but its not particularly high up on the list of places I want to visit.

Chick-fil-A isn’t actually good

It's OK at best. Certainly not worth the line (the one I live near is always packed) or the bigotry they fund.

It’s at best pseudoscience and a scam, and also an actual cult

That's ridiculous. The singular of ravioli is raviolo, a singular pop tart couldn't possibly be multiple ravioli.

I have an in-law who's a vegan and explained it as "if I consume less there's a tiny bit less cruelty. A tiny bit less demand." I like that. It's not about purity. It's about trying.

I'm still not vegan. I suppose that doesn't say good things about me.

Sorry it's actually a lasagna.

There are 3 foods. There is soup. There is salad. And then there is lasagna. That's it.

I think the hyphen in poptart is a bigger sin than the statement.

It's not for everyone. I like it because I'm old and grumpy.

For me, it's not the pineapple, it's that Hawaiian pizza is bad. Pineapple, jalapenos, and pepperoni is a great combo.

A sandwich is actually a type of lasagna. Close but no cigar.
