Noodles: is a tamale a noodle?

I don't really have a question but I want to talk about noodles, please. Is a tamale a noodle or a sandwich?

This type of food taxonomy is always fascinating and disturbing, as it tends to spawn even more unhinged classifications (ravioli is a dumpling. A bowl of cereal is a salad).

That being said, the most politically neutral take would be that tamales are a pie.

Are you saying ravioli is not a dumpling?

I am joining you in the tamales are a pie camp though.
