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

      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)

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

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

          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.

          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.

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

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

        A closed top pie form is called a galette.

        The open top form is pie.

        Pies with lids are calzones

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

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

        I mean, it’s basically an egg pie with cheese and/or bacon, how could it not be delicious?

      I think a pie should have an upper crust, so it’s more of a tart. Of course, tons of common food names break this convention so maybe quiche is fine anyways
