Draegur,

This classification system is deeply flawed but one of the most obvious ways is failing to recognize that quiche is an arbitrarily over specific example of what its category should ACTUALLY be called, which is obviously PIE.

PIZZA IS PIE TOO. The crust puffing up elevated at the edges contains the ingredients within.

And in this case, a stuffed crust pizza is indeed a PIE SURROUNDED BY A CALZONE.

Alternatively surrounded by a burrito.

Wouldn’t stuffed crust be toast surrounded by sushi?

if you’re looking at the whole pizza pie, the crust doesn’t have open sides so it’s a calzone. if you’re looking at a single slice, it’s sushi.

stratosfear,

Til cutting a pizza turns bread into fish

Draegur,

then again, this is a a loop-shaped calzone… topologically, a torus. the chart doesn’t even have an entry for that, but i’m ok with provisionally classifying it as a calzone

Lodespawn, (edited )

I feel like the chart needs a torus entry like some kind of filled doughnut, but I also think a rolled, filled torus is closer to a sushi roll than a calzone. I think everyone is just settling on calzone because we are talking about pizza and ignoring the structure and shape which is what this is about. How does a torus fit into the cube rule anyway? You can only consider it as the base structure which is a tube, ie sushi.

beefcat,

the stuffed crust is prepared as a calzone but becomes sushi once the pizza is sliced.

daemoz,

This was my exact assessment. I like how u think

dpkonofa,

I just questioned this elsewhere and am in full agreement. Should be a pie.

Kase,

What’s your opinion on thin-crust pizza? Is it toast? I feel like it’s toast.

Draegur,

you know what, yeah actually, i think i agree with that too!

sukhmel,

Your comment makes me think that we’re missing (at least) one of configurations on the diagram, the one where two bases are perpendicular to each other. A slice of pizza will have that configuration, but I am too culinary-challenged to imagine anything else by that shape to name it after 🤔

So a jelly donut is a calzone? And I guess a plate of nachos is cake?

MataVatnik,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Unironically yes

Sarmyth,

A plate of nachos might be a salad.

NigelFrobisher,

A Big Mac is a cake.

Vaginal_blood_fart,

Or a club

chocosoldier,

I came in here to say this

any burger with more than one pattie is a meat cake. There are meat based pies, so of course there can be meat based cakes too.

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Lasagna is cake?

IronicDeadPan,

Always has been.

pineapplelover,

A burrito is a sushi

ShadowCatEXE,
@ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world avatar

Not necessarily. A burrito can have one or both ends closed off. So it can also be a quiche or a calzone.

CO_Chewie,

Does a burrito start as a calzone turn into quiche then finish life as a taco?

I would find it a tad odd to refer to a hotdog as simply a sandwich, because we have a more precise and common word for it, but I would understand nonetheless.

Not just because of this debate, but also because when you use the ingredients separately you get weiner sandwiches and hot dog bun sandwiches.

It would be odd to call champagne wine, but still understandable. Same for calling a lava lamp an incandescent light. Actually, this would probably work for lots of genericized tradmarks, like jello, bandaid, dumpster, zamboni, kleenex, zipper, velcro, and so on.

sukhmel,

Well, in the case when a table is empty except for the hotdog sandwich in question, I would maybe understand. But I imagine myself to be quite dumbfounded with such a naming

Tlaloc_Temporal,
@Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

At this point, it’s pretty hard to find a natural opinion on hotdogs as sandwiches sunce everyone has heard of the great sandwich debate, but I don’t think it’s a big leap. I think calling a hamburger a sandwich is about as weird, for example.

ChonkyOwlbear,

Is every pie a quiche or is every quiche a pie?

curiousaur,

Some pies are calzones.

ChonkyOwlbear,

Calzones are in the hand pie family along with Cornish pasties and empanadas

curiousaur,

I didn’t see those ones on the chart.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes. Pizza was always a lie.

I_am_10_squirrels,

Pizza is toast, not cake.

SexyTimeSasquatch,

I would argue that according to this diagram, stuffed crust is in fact a sushi tube connecting to itself in a circle around the pizza.

themusicman,

Certainly sushi if it’s just a slice

kboy101222,

Hear me out -

It’s a ring torus with a a different substance inside.

It’s a filled donut.

Mok98,

No hole in the middle, filled donut stuck to a toast maybe?

kboy101222,

Yeah, I’d agree. It’s definitely 2 different things going off the cube rule

BananaPeal,
@BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works avatar

A Big Mac is a cake?

psud,

Near enough

Vaginal_blood_fart,

It’s a club sandwich

Ookami38,

A single slice of stuffed crust would be a sushi attached to a toast. The ends are open once you cut it into a slice. A FULL stuffed crust would be a calzone and a toast.

Squizzy,

Pizza being toast is acceptable to me

Arfman,

Then a calzone is just a big taco

OmnipotentEntity,
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Correction, it is two tacos. One flipped upside down and rotated 90 degrees and placed on top of the other.

Arfman,

Huh the calzone we made at the pizza shopped I worked at was just a pizza that’s folded

son_named_bort,

So chips are a salad? I knew it!

brianorca,

Pretty sure chips are toast in this diagram. Or maybe it depends if they are potato or tortilla chips.

lhamil64, (edited )

It probably depends on the type chip. If they’re the scoops tortilla chips, they would be quiche.

getoffthedrugsdude, (edited )

Scoop tortilla chips = Mini quiches

Math checks out

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Imagine people thinking food cam be categorized consistently like that.

Food is cultural and historical; nothing outside of its preparation is scientific or internally logically consistent, so stop trying to force it to be.

A hot dog is a damn hot dog. Now stop arguing about it, and get this crap off of my feed

xor,

Sir this is a meme

getoffthedrugsdude,

I will continue to shiptoast, have a day

GreyEyedGhost,

The usernames add a whole new layer to this thread. “Pink drunken elephant” having a serious and sober look at the conversation and how stupid it is, and “get off the drugs dude” happily continuing this bizarre and pointless conversation.

getoffthedrugsdude,

Adding fuel to the fire I see

ilinamorato,

Bread bowl salads are quiches?

pingveno,

Bread bowl salads are monstrosities. Also, quiches.
