Yeah for bread vs pasta the "you need to boil the dry pasta and bake/fry the bread dough is better selector I admit. If you bake dry pasta it won't go well

Bread, stuff, bread

Yes

They are different kinds on sandwich family tree. Calzone is a pie just like pizza
> Is a Pop Tart a ravioli?
Never eaten that abomination in my life but it has no pasta in it so no
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.
If a calzone is a pie, is a hot pocket a pie? Would that make a pop-tart a smaller fruit pie?
If a taco is a sandwich, does that make taquitos (rolled tacos) sandwiches? If taquitos are sandwiches, are eggrolls? What about burritos?
Is bannana bread a cake?
The point is that it really is just our vague impressions of things. Taxonomy has the impossible task of defining things that really don't have clear definitions. When does a table become a chair? Etc.
Why do you think a hot dog is a sandwich? Does that make a taco a sandwich? If not, why aren't hot dogs tacos? Is a Pop Tart a ravioli?
