Are Pop-Tarts ravioli? And more of the greatest food debates of our generation

One of the biggest internet food questions of the last few years has wondered whether a Pop-Tart can be considered ravioli. While this seems like a joke, it actually brings up a valid question. Is any sort of food item in which an outer shell that fully envelops a filling a ravioli? There are so many encased foods from around the world, from empanadas to dumplings. But what sets each apart is the dough and the cooking method. Ravioli are a type of pasta, often filled with meat or cheese and cooked in boiling water. A Pop-Tart, on the other hand, is a hand pie, a pastry made with biscuit-style dough with either a sweet or savory filling that is baked, fried or deep-fried. So we can conclusively say that the answer to this question is a firm no.
