In a recent conversation I had, an incredibly important and controversial topic came up.

This matter must be settled:

Can a pop-tart be considered a ravioli?

Well the definition of ravioli is small pasta envelopes containing ground meat, cheese, or vegetables and the definition of pop-tart is that they have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust so of course not! Maybe the two are relatives?

BUT what if you made a ravioli noodle and put nutella in it? Wouldn't that still be a ravioli?

Yes...but it wouldn't be a pop-tart!

True, but what if you put meat in a pop-tart shell? What would that be considered?

Disgusting, that's what it would be considered.

Agreed, but category wise?

I will answer for you. It would be a saccuish.

No, that would be an abomination.

Well, can you put a ravioli on Nyan Cat without it looking weird?

No, you can’t. So it’s not the same as a Pop-Tart.

Argument settled.

Well, actually:

Pop-tarts were invented in 1964.

Nyan Cat was created in 2011.

Nyan Cat is defined by a Pop-tart, but Pop-tarts are NOT defined by Nyan Cat. Nyan Cat is like the fanfiction of Pop-tarts, but that doesn't necesserily affect the true identity of a Pop-tart.

Also, for the sake of clarification, I'm certainly not saying that Pop-tarts and ravioli are the exact same thing, but they definitly belong in the same category of food. A club sandwich and a BLT are in the same category. That doesn't mean they're 100 percent the same thing, but they're both sandwiches.

AND, if Nyan Cat originally had been a ravioli, you would have considered a Pop-tart weird. Memes can be complicated. (Also, I don't think he would look that much different with a ravioli body.)

 

Boom.

A ravioli is actually considered a dumpling, so if a Pop-Tart is a dumpling, then yes.

No, most definitely not, please, no. Also, both poptarts and ravioli are a little gross, unless it's really, really good ravioli. And yeah, ravioli with nutella in it would be an obscenity.

Well, based on what Neko Sweetsyrup said, no, because the outside of a pop tart is pastry, not pasta.

Yeah, but it's still a starch. Some people substitute a slice of sweet potato for the bread in a sandwich. Even though that sounds really gross, it doesn't change the fact that the sandwich is a sandwich. 

Same with the pop-tart scenario.

But it's not the same thing, because a sandwich is just things "sandwiched" between other things, while ravioli is specifically filled pasta.
