Raviolo
I bring this up every time with someone who eats a panino for lunch!

I’m here to fight you specifically.

For what genres?
I prefer a controller for first person shooters.
If you’re talking about gyro aim, based. Not enough people use that. If you’re talking about aim assist, then you’ll have to translate this post because I don’t speak wrong
Not aim assist, no.

Ramen is just anime spaghetti.
I’d argue the way that ramen noodles are made is different enough. Spaghetti is just flour, water, and salt whereas ramen noodles can have an alkaline process (kansui) among other things. Spaghetti is also one type of noodle whereas ramen is a category with a fair bit of variety.
Weebs aren’t people
If you’re saying I’m a weeb, that’s actually a first. I do live in Japan but don’t give a shit about anima or manga and have plenty of criticisms about life here.

This has been solved they are both calzones. https://cuberule.com/
I find that system inconvenient, as it does not inform me of how I should eat any given item. Classification for the purpose of classification is insufficient. However, an alternative that allows me to prepare my ustensils based on the classification is useful, and therefore I propose…
Soup, salad, and sandwich are the three states of food, and they can go through phase transitions. They are closely accompanied by spoon, fork, and knife, respectively.
-
A soup is any food that requires a spoon, and thus includes soups, drinks, cereal with milk, etc. Tipping a container is merely the use of the container as a large and unwieldy spoon, a straw is similarly a spoon when its topology is combined with suction.
-
A salad then is anything bite sized that can be forked, and one’s hands are little more than fleshy forks, the fingers prehensile tines. Popcorn, salads, cut up steak bites, a handful of cheerios, etc.
-
A sandwich is anything that requires it to be cut in order to be consumed, and one’s incisors are merely built-in knives. A sandwich is thus the vast majority of the cube rule’s content, and only because the cube rule focuses on the physical location of the starch. This is, of course, entirely irrelevant when it comes to the consumption of food.
-
To observe a phase transition, one can cut up a sandwich without consuming it, thereby turning it into a salad; can drown a salad to turn it into a soup; can freeze a soup to turn it into a sandwich, etc.
Shredded cheese is a salad.
While I think your system allows for some really odd edge cases, I like the way you think.
This thread makes me angry.
I mostly agree with these broad level classifications, except for sandwich. A sandwich refers to the construction (something sandwiched between something else) and also the intended method of consumption (no utensils and rarely a napkin). By your classification a 32oz steak is a sandwich, yet it must be consumed quite differently than an ice cream sandwich.
I’d change the sandwich category to be the chunk category, and have sandwiches as a subcategory of chunks and salads where the food comes surrounded by edible material that’s easy to handle without utensils.
There’s also the group of very thin soups that might deserve it’s own group, but that might just be a qualitive difference.
Completely agree, and will definitely make that change. As soon as Panera Bread starts selling Chunks.

I enjoyed that, good read. But, steak and chocolate both being classified as salad is going to be a very tough sell.
According to Salad Theory all food is salad.
I love that under this system the popular examples of type 4 ‘sushi’ includes no sushi, unlike type 1. That and in the process of eating something can cause it to change type.
It’s a good system, we should adopt it for all foods
I don’t think I would go that far. From a topographical point of view type 1, type 3 and type 5 are identical.
Omg, not the donut argument again… 🤣
the process of eating something can cause it to change type.
Process of eating and perspective.
Beef Wellington:
To the chef: Calzone
To the diner: Sushi
Sane, rational, and consistent. I love it. At the same time: this is absolutely going to start fights.
I love this so much.
I don’t understand how pumpkin pie is toast, but cheesecake is a quiche. Shouldn’t they be the same whichever they are?
It’s hard to tell whether the difference is that the pumpkin pie crust is “slanted” while the cheesecake crust is vertical, or that the pumpkin pie is a single slice while a “quiche”-topology cheesecake is intended to be eaten whole.
So if I understand right, the cube rule is giving permission to eat a whole cheesecake, but not a whole pumpkin pie?
Yes, that is the brilliant simplicity of the cube rule.
Don’t forget that sliced pie is a taco to add more confusion!!!
That was specifically a sliced pie with a top crust.
…making a whole top-crust pie a calzone…
all pasta is garbage food
And pasta and noodles mean the same thing 😏
The real fighting words are always in the comments!
Ravioli is a sandwich.
all kind of fermented food is expired produces.
love me some spoiled wheat soup
All fermented foods are alcoholic.
Cheese and yoghurt are fermented foods, as is all bread but unleavened.
Fermentation is just rotting with style. Delicious, though.
Tool is overrated
I wanna downvote you so bad but it wouldn’t be right
Come at me
They said “start a fight”, not “speak basic truths”
Cereal is a soup
Vanilla soy bean latte is a three bean soup.
Except coffee is a fruit.
Beans are a fruit. Kinda. We mostly eat the seeds of the legume fruit. But we also use the seeds of vanilla orchids, coffee cherries, and soy beans. It’s not three bean soup it is bird food.
Ketchup is a smoothie
A hotdog is a sandwich?
Yeah, I put ice in my cereal. So what?
That makes no sense.
No. It’s a taco.
Just once I’d like to see one of these “x food is a y” posts that actually makes sense.
Pizza is tomatos
Domino’s is sheetrock.
Sheetrock serves a purpose.
Pop Tarts are either toast or a calzone.
The creator correctly says “jif”
Isn’t there a video/gif asking if it’s pronounced “birthday jift”, “jolden retriever”, etc?
It’s an acronym standing for graphic interchange format. Not that I care all that much tbh. Reminds me of parents naming their kid cVIIItlyn. Sure you can pronounce it whatever you want, doesn’t make you any less stupid. Also, iirc it was invented by a team, what do the rest of them say?
It’s an acronym standing for graphic interchange format.
That doesn’t affect how it’s pronounced.
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. If you were going to pronounce it based on how those words are pronounced it would be “Lahseer”.
The best reason to pronounce “gif” with a hard g is that the closest word we have is “gift” and that uses a hard g.
Just wanna say I didn’t downvote you.
I get your argument, maybe we SHOULD pronounce it lahseer, sounds cool.
Lahseer does sound cool, but I’m in favor of words being spelled as fonetikuhly as possible in English.
In order to do that, we have to clean up what each letter does first. The whole reason the gif fight started is because G and J overlap in sound values a lot. And don’t get me started on S, C, K, & Q.
And O.
But, still, there are letters that have fairly consistent pronunciations. Where possible we should try to stick with those.
I’ve given up on vowels. Mercedes, Echinacea, Manoeuvre, shield, beige, just throw them around until it looks right.
Only one guy is listed as the creator, Steve wilhite, who says “jif” is correct, famously making the pronouncement with a gif when he received his lifetime achievement award haha.
He’s a troll and giggles every time this comes up. This makes him my hero.
Sure. Why not, lem
Chef Boy R Dee is pasta
I like this statement because it’s successful on two levels. You can also argue over whether “pop-tart” counts as one word or two.
Def 2 words!
PopTart is a brand and is one word.
It’s the internet. People will argue with you even when you’re demonstrably right.
No they won’t!
It is also a calzone.
Hmmm id say a canzone is a dumpling, because it’s folded over on itself.
Nah, it’s baked in an oven, it’s a pasty.
Hmm good point!
Actually, it’s a cheesey tomato soup in a bread bowl.
It’s neither a calzone nor a ravioli. Pop tarts have pastry crusts. Calzones use a leavened crust, and ravioli have pasta crusts.
They’re scones.
I’ve never boiled a pop tart
What? How do you brew your poptart tea then?
Pizza is an open-faced sandwich.
