message: The singular of 'ravioli' is still 'ravioli' when referring to the food. c.f. Chambers Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, and American Heritage Dictionary. As a plural it can be written 'raviolis'.

text: I beg to differ, I would actually love to find that recipe. It seems that "lemon dill shrimp ravioli" only exists on wiki pages though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.162.175 (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Funny that in Chinese raviolis are called "Italian wonton" because in French I've read that wonton are "Chinese ravioli"! Perhaps that would be nice to link that info together with wonton and ravioli.
:In Italian wonton is also referred to as "chinese ravioli".Mariokempes 20:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I originally added that tidbit.  In Chinese there is no simple translated term for pasta as a type and each type is often called as "Italian xyz" with xyz referring to the closest counterparts in Chinese noodle or filled dumpling products.  It does not only confined to Italian foods.  In Chinese Maultasche is called "German wonton". --JNZ 04:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article currently states that "ravioli" means "little turnips" in Italian and elsewhere states that it comes from an Italian word meaning "to wrap".
I understand that these two statements are not necessarily mutually exclusive -- perhaps the Italian word for "little turnips" derives in turn from the Italian word for "to wrap"? -- but these statements are nonetheless confusing.  Perhaps someone could clarify the matter?  --Skb8721 (talk) 18:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a definition of the word "raviole" in French as  pieces of pasta containing minced meat and minced turnip in Lent (Frédéric Godefroy, Dictionnaire de l'ancienne langue française). The etymology traces back to 1228 and seems to be the oldest mention of this word. Xiaomichel (talk) 11:39, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Why would the MAIN picture be of some weird variety of ravioli.
The most comoon kind of ravioli in the world is traditional meat or cheese ravioli covered in some variation of tomato sauce.
This article blows. Very little detail or history, crappy writing, few facts. A typical politically correct Wikipedia article with little info. 
Nice.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.143.106 (talk) 03:10, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Uneaten meat

message: Removed the following claim: Today, ravioli are also made in worldwide industrial lines supplied by Italian companies such as Arienti & Cattaneo, Ima, Ostoni, and Zamboni.  The sense of the sentence is not clear.  Ostoni, at any rate, makes ravioli machines rather than pasta; as for the other companies, I couldn't say.  Since the sentence follows a claim about home-made pasta, I presume the intention was to balance the previous claim. In that case, a better sentence would be: Modern ravioli is also mass-produced by machine.  A litany of manufacturers of ravioli machines is certainly contraindicated.

replies: text: I agree. Maybe linking one of the manufacturers to any WP articles that exist on them may help? Cheers! Irondome (talk) 21:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Cheers, Irondome.  Well, I found a source (kind of) and put in the wording above.  I wanted to give a nod to Italian-made machines, but frankly I could not support it with a source.  OR-wise, I found many Italian manufacturers but also found them in North America (with Italian names, of course).  What I really think is that the section is misnamed "Overview": it is certainly not an overview.  It appears to begin by describing how ravioli is traditionally made (in Italy presumably), then goes into regional differences.  Perhaps the original confusing industrial claim was also meant to describe ravioli in Italy, hence the Italian manufacturers.  Anyway, it might be better if re-organized, or at least that section renamed. Since Irondome is the top contributor to this article, he may have an idea? Richigi (talk) 21:47, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

text: I think that a major change in the article must have been made way back in its history and the industrial machinery stuff is the ghost of an original section now long removed. New stuff must have been added but some original industrial wording was left, and it has been morphed into the new stuff. It sounds a good plan to rename or reorganise. Im temporarily out of the game because Ive lost some WP functionality re: symbols :/ no idea why. You go right on ahead. Will be watchlist-watching for a few hours anyway. Cheers!

message: , The most recent attempt to add the Internet meme here was automatically reverted by a bot account but it would have manually been reverted anyway.  The content was supported by a link to Know Your Meme, which is a frequently problematic website.  In this case, the linked page did not support the text you have been trying to add and the website itself is a collection of random user contributions.  This means it fails both the verification standard and the reliable source standard.  I recommend not trying to continue adding a meme that has no real notability.

message: It seems like most (manufactured, not home made) fresh ravioli as opposed to canned, is predominantly just cheese ravioli or at most combined with mushrooms, and hardly ever meat filled.
But that may be in the locale where i am in.  Not sure how we would substantiate if that is more generally the case worldwide, it strikes me also that in
restaurants quite often cheese ravioli is the only type offered.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.35.33.66 (talk) 04:45, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Rather than an Indian cuisine (as mentioned, Gujiya from Gujrat, which has a different name in another part, like 'pirikiya' in Mithila region {present day northern part of Bihar-India and some part of Nepal) it seems to be a kind of Mithila/Bhojpuri food named 'Daal-Pithi' which filled with lentils/pulses grind with spices and ghee-butter, wrapped in flour dough and steamed or served with broth. 178.152.1.232 (talk) 07:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
