"... dumplings, tortellini... "
In English it's incorrect to list these two like that. Tortellini falls into a subset of 'dumplings', so either don't include it in the list (as you already have by listing dumplings), or specify which other types of dumplings you got as well as the tortellini. πŸ‘Œ

Ask your new co-workers tomorrow what they think of this. Report back.

Planning to ask my TL when they grab me from the lobby and pop the question in the elevator up

Mmmm, pedantry. 😁

Veal tortellini and chicken and shiitake dumplings, listed separately because my ramen’s going to be very weird if I mix them up

The only point I'm actually trying to make is that tortellini is part of the dumpling family. Thank you for confirming 😍

Force, I speak as someone who wishes you only well, buuuuuut - could you possibly have too much time on your hands rn to descend so into pedantry?
