That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

closer to a pie, as pies as have filling.
noodles don't have filling
what is ravioli? And, is ravioli a dumpling?
I would say ravioli is not a noodle, and could be called a dumpling, yes.
David Chang argues that ravioli are dumplings on Ugly Delicious.
I’m inclined to agree in that dumplings and ravioli are the same general idea implemented by different culinary traditions.
Italians would lynch you for mixing linguini and spaghetti, but they don't pause for a second when referring to dumplings as Chinese ravioli.
linguini is square spaghetti? rectangular prism? so extruded
Technically, ravioli is a stuffed pasta the same as tortellini. That would make it a noodle but I don't believe the same can be said for tamales. Pasta (Italian noodles) is made from a dough of semolina flour, olive oil, and eggs that is rolled into sheets or extruded into shapes. It is then cooked by boiling in water.
I don't think the dough(?) of a tamale is anywhere near the same.
What the dough is made out of isn't relevant to it being a noodle or not though, unless you think rice noodles aren't noodles because they aren't made of semolina, eggs, and oil and aren't typically cooked by boiling but rather by soaking in hot water?
Yeah, tamale dough is masa (nixtamalized corn) while ravioli is typically wheat flour, as you describe. Noodles can be made out of corn or rice, too... they're not really that different than wheat noodles. I have Celiac so I have tried a lot of gluten free noodles made from alternative grains.
