    Interesting, Ive only ever made or seen cobblers made in rectangular pans. I wonder if shape is the dividing line between people who consider them pies vs not.

      That would be my guess, yeah.

      Pie = short/stout circular cylinder, involves some kind of dough/bread, tends to have a crust, tends to have stuff witin the uh, semi-enclosed volume made by the bread.

      Can have bread/dough on top also, but doesn’t need to.

      I think that works for a chicken pot pie (apparently also shepard’s pie?), a pizza pie, an apple pie, a lemon merengue pie…

      That at least seems plausible/likely to me, but, I am only me.

      … maybe some very bored linguist or statistician has actually polled people on this?
