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

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

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...

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

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.

A closed top pie form is called a galette.

The open top form is pie.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

You got the galette backwards

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

Calzone is a pie.

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