[A series of Tumblr posts. The first shows a picture of ravioli, and reads: "This dish has another name - herrgottsb'scheisserle or 'Fool the Lord' - because of the story of how it first came about. One of the most popular theories is that the Cistercian monks of Maulbronn Monastery (hence the name Maultaschen) didn't want to go without meat during Lent observance. So they concealed the forbidden food from the sight of the Lord by enclosing it in pasta dough."

The next Tumblr quote post reads: "Ravioli Of Lying To God"

The final Tumblr quote post reads: "God: What are you eating? Cistercian Monk: chews faster"]

The fact that the real name is meat bags is even better.

Hmm, you must have misread something. It translates to "mouth bags" or more specifically "mouth-of-an-animal bags".
