“Um actually,”
The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid, and the mantle is kinda…solidish-slushy-sorta.
So the earth is like one of those fancy cherry cordials with the 2 fillings?
I think a Ferrero Rocher is a good fit. The solid core is the hazelnut, the molten core is the Nutella, the rocky crust is the wafer, and the chocolate and hazelnut coating is the topsoil.
That’s great! Ratios are a bit off but we are talking about food, there’s no 1:1.
I think the wafer makes sense as the mantle, the chocolate as the oceanic crust and the hazelnut as the continental crust.
ratios will probably always be way off, no way to make a crust that thin without also making it huge
Eggs are closer. The center of the yolk being fully cooked. The outer half of the yolk uncooked but hot enough to be. The crust bursting when expansion escapes through a weakend crack solidifying as if continental crust.
A Ferrero Rocher does look like it has mountains on it as well so this tracks.
Ravioli with meat
Takoyaki maybe?
The Earth is actually a Hot Pocket. Molten lava inside but the outside is simultaneously dry, soggy and frozen.
It won’t be frozen for long.
Self-heating hot pocket 🤤
Something something Xena tapes.
That alt text is absolutely a mood that I can only respect
Ok, hear me out. It’s a scotched egg, but the egg is soft boiled.
The liquid center bursts out sometimes, it’s a soup dumpling

I like to think of the Earth more as a pizza roll. Eating one right out of the oven sure feels like tasting magma to me.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a ravioli that’s “molten inside”. I’d say most of the time the pasta is the most soft part.
The mass produced one are like that
raviolo*
Not a ravioli, the casing was not made by pressing or folding two layers of the solid material together
So subduction zones don’t count as “folding” anymore?
Not really, that brings magma currents into the equation, which actually make the comparison even worse since raviolis don’t undergo plate tectonic movements
Why is the core of your ravioli molten?
And a ravioli is a filling placed between two grain-dough based layers of even thickness; making it, and thus by extension, the Earth, a sandwich.
Is a toastie a ravioli or a sandwich?
As I’m going with the ‘ravioli as a subset of sandwich’ paradigm… Yes.
Of course, I recommend referring to the original text for reference.
The core is mostly solid. It’s the mantle that is mostly liquid (probably).
So more like a soup dumpling.
Xiaolongbao earth.
And now I’m hungry.
