I like this thiugh and hadn’t had it before for some reason, makes them seem cuter

I think "if it could pass as a pillow were it much larger" might be the dumpling dynamic.

interesting, someone else thinks the pillow like status of a ravioli makes it a dumpling as well

Should I throw manicotti into this discussion? It gets stuffed but not closed and doesn’t look like a pillow.

A manicotti is an Italian hot dog.

I would argue that the manicotti can’t be a taco because it doesn’t have an open side but I also wanted to call it an Italian burrito originally and argued in my head against it for the same reason.
