Screenshot of an article reading "This dish has another name — herrgottsb'scheisserle or 'Fool the Lord' – because of the story of how it first came about." 
An image of a ravioli is shown and the text continues below it. 
"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."ALT

Ravioli Of Lying To God

Might I add that an alternative way to lie to God was simple naming a pig a fish’s name like “Karpfen” (German for carp) and saying I am not eating meat, I am eating carp.

They also just drowned pigs or ate beavers. After all if it dies in the water it has to be a fish.

Might I also add that herrgottsb'scheisserle means lying to god thing but in a very proverb way so the 1:1 translation is shitting on god thing
