If a spider catches a fly and wraps it in silk, is the spider preparing ravioli?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

Yes

Just a guy

12:34

Which of these prospects do you think become aces: Pearson, Whitley, Patino, May, Kopech, Luzardo?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I think all have a chance

Though I think Whitley is the riskiest, even more than Koepch

Lopecih

KKopech

Kopech

What's the standard for whether a sandwich ingredient gets into the name? For example, if you put lettuce on a turkey sandwich, you wouldn't call it a turkey-and-lettuce sandwich. But swap the turkey for bacon and add a tomato, and lettuce suddenly gets second billing. Where do you draw the line?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

Just depends on if someone can give it a name.

Anyone can give something a name.

12:35

But you have to have the courage to murder everyone who treis to call it differently.

The guy who invented the Reuben had to kill so many people

Sum

12:35

Adam

12:39

What happened with the Sloppy Joe, then? Did Joe commit the opposite of murder to lock that one down?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

He named it a Fancy Joe, but since he didn't defend the name, people used it to dunk on him

Sam

12:39

Under this ravioli logic, are calzones and strombolis just oversized ravioli?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

Yes

They're subsets of the ravioli family, IMO

Sam

12:41

Follow-up question: is pie a ravioli if it has a dough top?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

I dunno, pies aren't really FILLED the way a ravioli is

I think that the process of raviolification is important

hscer

12:41

are three ritzes on top of each other a sandwich

Dan Szymborski

12:41

They're a small uncut club sandwich.

hscer

12:41

what about 3 pringles

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Pringles aren't food, so don't count

Dbo

12:42

Is ravioli a sub order of dumpling or is a dumpling a sub order of ravili

Dan Szymborski

12:42

How were they filled?

Dbo

12:45

I think raviolis have to made with dough that does not have yeast in it, also I think raviolis should be cooked through some process involving water like steaming or boiling

12:45

Are catchers ravioli?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

No we're silly

Adam

12:45

So then, a Smuckers Uncrustable... peanut butter and jelly, inside white bread that's sealed all the way around. Is it a sandwich, a ravioli, both, or neither?
