is a hot dog a sandwich
w2tpmf, Big Macs are cakes.
pingveno, Meat cakes?
BananaPeal, 
So Subway sells tacos? You learn something new every day.
dpkonofa, I feel like taco is too specific and that there is a better word that covers tacos and submarines. I just can’t come up with the word…
Allero, A slice of pizza is, indeed, a toast! With a lot of stuff on top.
DAMunzy, The crust makes it a pie!!
ForgotAboutDre, According to this diagram it makes it a quiche. The definition should be a tart, a quiche is a savoury custard tart.
That would make the pizza a tart.
A pie would be a calzone according to this diagram.
dpkonofa, Is a pie a type of quiche or did the OP choose too narrowly? Is a quiche a type of pie? Should they be reversed?
Allero, (edited ) The hardened browned crumb of a toast is, essentially, a small crust! That’s how pies get it too!
PIE IS A TOAST!!!
DAMunzy, Noooooo!
agitatedpotato, Oops my sushi fell on its side and turned into quiche.
dpkonofa, No it didn’t. Quiche is open on one end. Sushi is open on 2.
Kolrami, (edited ) I’d rename two categories.
Bottom right: I’d rather refer to a cake as “lasagna” than call lasagna a “cake”
Bottom left: if someone made a quiche without walled sides I’d still call it a quiche, so I’d rather call that category “pie”
This has the added bonus of making most pie people furious and some pizza people angry unless they like Chicago deep dish.
root_beer,
- Isn’t “lasagna”, as we refer to it, technically a casserole made with layers of lasagne, cheese, and sauce? Not that “casserole” is a category, but I’m just being pedantic at this point, soz
- I’ve always maintained that pizza is a tart rather than a pie
troglodytis, An enchilada is sushi?
yimby, Yeah that topology is probably better described as burrito
MeetInPotatoes, Burritos are closed on the ends, my Mexican food-challenged amigo.
brianorca, Sometimes only one end, making them a quiche.
ImTryingLemmy, So a poorly wrapped burrito is sushi but a properly wrapped one is a calzone. th’fuck?
Tylerdurdon, Damnit, someone got to the burrito logic before I did…
TexasDrunk, That’s how I’m referring to it from now on. I just need to know what I call Arepas.
flipflop97, 
And if you start eating a properly wrapped one, it turns into a quiche 🤔
joelfromaus, 
I don’t make the rules.
CannedTuna, A taquito is sushi
clearleaf, If you don’t like science go live in the woods.
june, I think stuffed crust is sushi attached to toast
elrik, I was thinking the same, but then realized it’s probably just quiche.
SinkingLotus, 
A stuffed crust pizza would be a calzone only when it’s still yet to be cut into slices.
The moment a slice is removed from the whole would be when it becomes sushi.
Tja, The image specifically talks about a slice 🍕
nul, Everyone in this thread ignoring that sushi refers to the style and preparation of the rice. The rolled sushi is maki, literally “to roll.”
Tlaloc_Temporal, 
Everyone in this thread is ignoring a lot, mostly that vastly different preparation methods van make the same structure, and the same method vastly different structures. Like pasta, which category you get depends on exactly what kind you have.
ComradePorkRoll, Hoagies are sushi, then?
robojeb, Pigs in a blanket too
Fridgeratr, The air all around me is salad!! Ahhhhh
Sarcasmo220, I guess the air is a mixed salad of gas molecules…
Creddit, I am always telling people this in the is-a-hotdog-a-sandwich debate, and this diagram makes it abundantly clear:
A hotdog is a taco.
alekwithak, But a taco is just a sandwich???
Creddit, Nope! It has bread on three sides, so it’s a taco.
Sandwiches only have bread on two sides.
synae, 
I had a meatball sandwich today that had the same topology of a taco
proudblond, Your hotdog buns have more structural integrity than mine.
Creddit, If you tear the bun, you’ve got a sandwich on your hands for sure!
mrunicornman, What about triangular taco shells? That’s just two sides.
Ghostalmedia, 
Pizza has crust walls. Pizza is quiche.
getoffthedrugsdude, So deep dish pizza is quiche, thin crust is toast?
spujb, the cube rule identification theory is ridiculous and i have always said so
synae, That’s what makes it good
snugglesthefalse, Yeah, salad theory is more comprehensive saladtheory.github.io
Stoneykins, (edited ) Salad theory is rigid and respectable.
Cube rule of food identification exists to be disproven aggressively for comedy and arguing. It’s a good time, until the person that believes it so truly they would kill and die to call a cheese roll up sushi arrives. They can make the conversation stressful.
getoffthedrugsdude, This thread has been a trip
EfreetSK, 
No no no, Hot Dog is a Quiche where I live
ouRKaoS, Looks like sushi
pruwybn, 
So bread is toast I guess.
Mostly_Gristle, (edited ) And all cake is comprised of at least three toast layers.
