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?

So a poorly wrapped burrito is sushi but a properly wrapped one is a calzone. th'fuck?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

Damnit, someone got to the burrito logic before I did...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

And if you start eating a properly wrapped one, it turns into a quiche 🤔

Since bread cannot be attached to language in any orientable way, you are right: It ain't a sandwich, it's a salad!

A slice of pizza is, indeed, a toast! With a lot of stuff on top.

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.

Hear me out -

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

It's a filled donut.

Stuffed crust is actually sushi tho.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

only in a single slice. if we're looking at the whole pizza pie, it's a calzone in a circle around a toast.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I don't believe that a torus is homeomorphic to a cube, so in fact the stuffed crust is not adequately explained by the cube model. We can approximate the stuffed crust by modelling either as sushi or calzone and receive adequate results.

I think stuffed crust is sushi attached to toast

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Everyone in this thread ignoring that sushi refers to the style and preparation of the rice. The rolled sushi is maki, literally "to roll."

Club sandwich? Actually cake.

Welcome to topology where your mug is a toroid and the orientation matters a lot.

So Subway sells tacos? You learn something new every day.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The air all around me is salad!! Ahhhhh

So bread is toast I guess.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

And all cake is comprised of at least three toast layers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So I guess sashimi is a sandwich, but cannoli is sushi. Flawless logic.

Goddammit. Quit leaving the croutons off my salad. I want to see some floating blue specks in there.
