So while I *emphatically* reject the "paste"/{pesxu} thing, Bob is
absolutely right that Lojban does not have to (and, indeed, should
not) divide the world in the same way as English.  Therefore, I
propose:

grusko - round noodle

grusri - flat noodles

grubo'o - flat pasta, like lasagna and such

grudakli - ravioli and friends

grutu'u - tubular pasta (tubnu rather than slanu because it often
contains something)

I'm not sure that we *need* a word for pasta in general.  If I was
going to do it at this point, I'd use {tarmi gurni} or so.

And tangentially related, I think I'll go with bancus' idea for
"cereal", as in the dried shaped grain product:

cergru

Now, would someone like to save the jbopatfu some trouble and get
these into jbovlaste?
