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?

I have no opinion on this excpet it is so funny. Also that a pop-tart unless filled with ravioli filling is not a ravioli.
*Puts feet up* Hey, I'm just watching the show. Could you pass me the popcorn, Inktail? (By the way that name is awesome) Thanks.
Mmm. A BLT is usually defined by its' filling, eg. Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomatoe, plus maybe chicken or any other type of meat. So yes, BLT and a Club Sandwich would be, if there was such a thing, in the same 'family' of sandwiches.
What an importent question.

Seriously. This is great.

Wait...
Is cereal a soup?
(March 29, 2018 - 8:24 pm)
Here we go again...
No, Google it.
(March 30, 2018 - 1:16 am)
With all due respect, Google is not the ultimate authority.
And I disagree with the argument in the first result.

I don't think so. You don't have to eat cereal with milk- I don't (lactose intolerance and a dislike of milk)- and cereal without milk is not soup. Maybe it's like tomatoes. By themselves, tomatoes are not soup. But when combined with other things, they are.
(March 30, 2018 - 8:31 pm)
Yeah, because when you eat Cheerios without milk, it's more like trail mix or popcorn- not saying it IS trail mix or popcorn. So cereal could be like 'instant soup', where you put milk in it and it automatiacally becomes soup.

Let me see here.
The definition of "soup" is:
"a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water."
Notice how this says typically.
The definition of "cereal" is:
"a breakfast food made from roasted grain, typically eaten with milk"
We see here another typically.
Now, we know you do not have to have cereal with milk, but most times that is how it is eaten. Therefore, we can conclude that typically means in this case "not required, but popularly done/used in this way".
Back to the question. If soup is only "typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water" we know it does not have to be this way, so the only definite definition of soup is "a liquid dish". Now if cereal[with milk] is "a liquid dish"(which it is, we can therefore call it soup.
*Appears from the shadows*Umm.... but doesn't cereal have solid objects in it?
So does vegetable soup. Your point?
Nevermind. *dissappears back into the shadows*
That's my argument. Arrivederci.
