How do you feel about American’s calling pizza, a pizza pie?

    If it's a beef patty then it's a burger. If it is chicken then it's a sandwich. Wtf?

    That's cos burger is short for Hamburger, from Hamburg. Which is a beef patty, not a ham one. I can see the logic using a different name for a chicken version (not from Hamburg). What cracks me up is baconburger.

    I don’t love it, but it doesn’t elicit the same visceral reaction from me as watching a cooking video of someone making lasagne and them saying “and then you’re just gonna layer your bolognaise sauce with your noodles”

    Deep dish pizza I can accept could possibly be classified as a pie.
