    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)

          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.

          I feel like there are more kinds of pies without lids than ones with them anyway.

      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
