Always upset that #6 is “quiche” and not “pie” which is obviously the broader category

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

But a pie should have a lid. If anything #7 should be pie rather than calzome.

[-] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The lid is optional (pizza pie, pumpkin pie, quiche) I will die on this hill

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Could y'all please stop dieing on hills all the time?! I love hiking, but all the corpses are really disturbing.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I feel like there are more kinds of pies without lids than ones with them anyway.

But then that would make a covered pie a calzone! And a hot dog a taco! And soup a salad! And an omelette a salad! And ice cream a sala- wait... I think this system is growing on me...

What a splendid pie. Pizza pizza pie.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

And even with a lid, it isn't quite #7.

#7 is for things where there's basically no distinction between the top and bottom. Even pies with a crust on top has a distinct "top" side, whereas the sides and bottoms are all pie crust.

#7 is for calzones, corn dogs, burritos, dumplings, pot stickers, ravioli, etc.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

None of those are pies. That’s not even heresy, just wrongness.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A closed top pie form is called a galette.

The open top form is pie.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You got the galette backwards

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

This means that a calzone is a pie or that a pie is a calzone

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

Calzone is a pie.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Pies with lids are calzones

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

So most pies are calzones? Because most pies have lids.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 days ago

A slice of apple pie is a taco. A slice of pumpkin pie is toast. A whole apple pie is a calzone, a whole pumpkin pie is a quiche. See how silly you sound?

(/s, the whole thing is clearly silly)

[-] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

My therapist will be hearing about this

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Calling a pie a quiche would upset more people. Thus quiche.

Sandwiches don't necessarily need to have bread on top.

Most sushi is not wrapped at all.

I call this BLASPHEMY!

[-] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Casserole is a salad eh? I kinda dig it

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fool! That isn't a cake!

It's a lasagna.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

A sausage roll is now sushi.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Isn’t McDonald’s bread legally cake due to its sugar content?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

That court ruling was about Subway's bread, but I don't doubt McDonald's is similar.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

If you're going to bring lawyers into this, we'll never see the end of it.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

we've never been so close

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

The "sushi" should be "burrito". That's just one type of sushi, because what I picture when I hear "sushi" would probably be in the "toast" category (if rice counts as the "bread")

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

I’m confused by the salad. Shouldn’t it be dozens of layers? I’m unfamiliar with whatever this meme’s progenitor was

[-] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is what it comes from, and this meme is a poor cut of the rules and logic, probably for space reasons.

A salad with croutons is nachos.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The layers have to be starches, but if you have croutons then chaos

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

No, that's a "torst" whatever the fuck that is. You have a bottom of carb and no sides or top.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

What if I put the meatballs down first and then top it with spaghetti?

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Upside-down torst

[-] mr_timns@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

“Toast”

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

A quiche is a kind of pie. So that item should be the pie category, not the quiche category

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

A cuiche is a casserole in a dough.

[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 1 points 2 days ago

Pie is just a sweet quiche with fewer eggs.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Nope, it’s missing a lid.

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago
[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is missing several configurations.

Like two open and adjacent faces like a shawarma, or the inverse of two filled adjacent faces, which is a folded pizza slice

[-] ptu@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Shawarma is a type of sushi and a folded pizza is taco

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

No, folded NY style pizza has one crease

Shawarma is mostly covered except where the toppings are exposed

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, that's right. What's your point?

[-] _core@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I've started so many fights with this 😁

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The one labelled “calzone” is pie, as it has a base, sides and a lid. A calzone is just a pizza folded over, which by this designation system makes it toast.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Folded over clearly makes it a taco
