Isn’t ravioli just a dumpling?
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.
The memes are intended to show the absurdity of trying to apply strict classificationss to something as varied as food.
This is a strict classification of why these memes fall apart.
Hot dogs aren’t open-faced sandwiches. The bun is split open; the sausage lies within, not atop a sole piece of bread.
And that’s not even addressing the fact that “open-faced sandwich” is an oxymoron. By that logic, a slice of [proper NY] pizza is a sandwich as much as a taco, as they are folded and consumed in the same manner, which is clearly ludicrous.
Do people fold open faced sandwiches??
I wouldn’t think so. Thus, tacos aren’t open-faced sandwiches. Of course, neither is a piece of cheese on a cracker, but that’ll just further confuse OC.
Why are people downvoting us? Are open faced sandwiches such a controversial issue?
I like to think it’s angry spez not wanting good content here. He has a bunch of alts here that he has minions downvote with, while he stands over their shoulder micromanaging what they downvote.
IDFK, people get real fuckin’ weird about this shit.
Why would that be so ludicrous? It is meat and cheese with a lubricating sauce on bread.
That said, I would actually argue the distinction there isn’t the form factor but the cooking method. For pizza/“pizza”, you start with raw dough and add toppings to it and then cook. Rather than adding toppings to a cooked dough (i.e. bread). Although I want to say there is a style of pizza that actually cooks the dough first for some reason? I am inclined to blame Chicago just because they are usually the food criminals. Also I’ve never actually made one but I assume at least some of the chain store sausage rolls (?) the Brits like are also starting from toppings in raw dough but… let’s just say Chicago learned their food atrocities from somebody…
But, regardless: The point is that all of these are mostly just regional/cultural equivalents of the same meals. Tacos and sandwiches mostly fulfill the same role of being a way to eat leftovers without getting your hands too messy and were popular with “lower class” workers. Soups, chilis, and curries are mostly a way to get a bunch of ingredients into an easy to cook (and leave in the pot) format that can also be stretched pretty far with stuff like rice and bread. And so forth.
And, again, once you actually start cooking you realize this and realize how easy it is to translate skills from one cuisine to another. Flavor profiles are very different but you rapidly realize you are doing mostly the same motions when you are making a Japanese or Indian curry or a British stew and so forth. And… you can then consider different cooking vessels and the like and how that might actually work better than the traditional style (just make sure you call it “fusion” so people don’t get pissy).
Man, you managed to take a fun fake argument and add some sly insults. Good job.
Anyway, parbaking is a thing
They’re small sausage heroes or hoagies, which are types of sandwiches.
Yes, hot dogs are indeed sausage sandwiches.
Angry upvote
Somehow, I agree to ravioli=dumpling but can’t go as far as saying that pop-tart equals anything in that category
Poptart seems more like a turnover to me.
I raise with
Cube rule does it better.
I was with you most of the way there (shout out to the chip butty), right up until that “pigs in blankets” abomination turned up. What in gods name has happened to them. Where’s the bacon, and why have they got that pastry nonsense on them? It’s behaviour like that this that explains the state of the world these days
You are free to interpret the nature of rice however you wish.

This is absolutely beautiful. 🥲 🧑🍳 💋
Yep, steak is a salad.
Easy. First off:
Pop-tarts are calzones.
More fights:
Greek salad is fruit salad
Paris sucks
Chick-fil-A isn’t actually good
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.
The chik fil a line moves fast, but isn’t worth it.
They do have the best spicy chicken sandwich, but everything else is on par with other shitty fast food.

Naw man, go find a Popeye’s and thank me later.
Dude Paris is fucking awful. Trash and pickpockets literally everywhere
Man, I don’t think I could be bothered to fight about any of those.
I’d laugh at the pop tarts one (that’s a good one), the rest, meh.
I mean Paris is cool and all, but what a shit show with the insane traffic (like any large city). The food is fantastic though.
Best food I had in Paris was Belgian. Best bar was Irish. Art…sure, OK.
France in general I really like. Loooove the south. Paris is overrated AF and riding high on reputation from 1870-1943.
As a Parisian: Paris is fucking amazing but Parisians suck a lot and well.
Could just be me or just bad luck last time I was there. I really liked Bordeaux, but I also love a port town. Strasbourg, Pézenas, enjoyed them both.
Paris sucks
Anyone who’s been to Paris will probably agree, especially Parisians
Greek salad is a fruit salad
Tbh a proper one is just a deconstructed sandwich
To be fair, I love a Greek salad, and make myself one once a week when none else is looking.
But…a sandwich? How so?
A quick Google has reminded me I’m specifically thinking of a Cretan greek salad: https://hungryhappens.net/dakos-salata-cretan-salad/
OK, yeah, I’m doing northern mainland Greek salad: tomatoes, cukes, cheese, olives. And onions.
Legitimately recommend giving the Cretan version a go, it’s the perfection of the dish IMO
Though sadly unless you’re actually having it somewhere in the Mediterranean, the tomatoes just don’t hit the same
Oh for sure. It looks like a variation on the Tuscan panzanella salad. I think I might like the Creatan version better.
https://eatingarounditaly.com/authentic-panzanella-recipe/
And yeah, garden full of tomatoes right now, and a gallon of fancy olive oil. I’m good to go.
So ok, Chick-fil-A sandwich is pretty good if you don’t get the pickle and mayo.
But everything else is eh, and the sauces are downright disgusting
It’s top to bottom mediocre. I will die on this hill.
Popeye’s, Zaxby’s, hell even Church’s are better.
Raising Caine’s FTW
Raising Cane’s is the most flavorless, damp, sad excuse for chicken fingers there is. Their sauce is just Zax sauce if you left the flavor out. The service sucks worse than the food.
Ahhhh! I can’t believe I forgot them! 100% top 2.
Man the closest Popeyes is 90 minutes away
I like chick fil a’s macaroni but their chicken is too soft for me.
Doesn’t a calzone require the fold in the dough where a ravioli is two “sheets” of cough pinched together? Or am I misremembering sandwich classifications?
The cube rule only cares about starch location.
Cube rule is bullshit
This guy wants OP’s challenge.

I have no idea about Paris due to not having any experience.
The rest are accurate.
It’s pronounced data.
deleted by creator
Lol … you’re both wrong … it’s data
Um ackchually, the creator of data says it’s pronounced data
Ooh, how about “data” is plural.
0.999… and 1 are equal
1 / 3 = 0.333…
0.333… + 0.333… = 0.666…
0.666… + 0.333… = 0.999…
1 = 0.999…
No fight here
Number values are mere suggestions that approximate measurements to a very high degree and try to quantify an infinitely variable universe
both completely factually correct and bullshit

Purple is a flavor
Only for liquids.
That’s grape.
Blue is a flavor, and it’s yucky.
NyQuil is blue flavored.
So are blue raspberry icees.
Icees taste like NyQuil.
Right. Same flavor as Blue Curaçao.
NyQuil is dark green
Blue is sour
That’s ridiculous. The singular of ravioli is raviolo, a singular pop tart couldn’t possibly be multiple ravioli.
Raviolo is a large ravioli
Sorry it’s actually a lasagna.
There are 3 foods. There is soup. There is salad. And then there is lasagna. That’s it.
Where does steak fall into these classifications?
Steak is single layer meat lasagna with no sauce
This is infuriating, I will not have it. No.
A vanilla soy latte is a bean soup.
I think the hyphen in poptart is a bigger sin than the statement.
But… Isn’t this a dash?
pop•
tartsThe symbol you used, “•” U+2022 is the bullet, but what if the packaging is actually using “·” U+2027, the interpunct, which would suggest the product is actually called “poptarts” not “pop-tarts”. Or it might be “·” U+22C5, multiplication, meaning we could simplify the product name to “2(pt)oars”.
Two part oars.
I think you’re over-complicating the very obvious answer the brand is trying to convey: it’s clearly read as “two part oars”.
https://trademarks.justia.com/854/44/pop-85444103.html apparently it’s the canon name and I hate that.

Pineapple on pizza
For me, it’s not the pineapple, it’s that Hawaiian pizza is bad. Pineapple, jalapenos, and pepperoni is a great combo.
I quite like pineapple and feta. Nice sweet and salty combo.
I honestly like ‘Hawaiian’ pizza, but I’ve had what you describe here and its damn good as well!
I like it more than pineapple anywhere else.
