shoutout to the internet for combining semantics debate and a deeply aholistic understanding of human food culture to create truly one of my least favorite things on here

this site is one of my go tos for when i feel like starting a completely pointless argument ๐ just say "did y'all know pop tarts are technically a type of calzone?" & 30 seconds later you're having the dumbest debate known to man with the entire friend group
Thanks, I hate it.
(Three bean ~~soup~~ salad I cannot stop giggling)
This analysis has an inconsistency regarding pie:
A slice of pumpkin pie is listed as toast (starch on one side), but a slice of double-crusted pie is a taco (three sides), a whole key lime pie is a quiche (five sides), and a whole double-crusted pie is a calzone (six sides).
In all cases save one, side crust is seen as distinct from bottom crust. A slice of pumpkin pie therefore has starch on two sides, making it a sandwich.
Except that the sides are adjacent, so it would be a taco, wouldn't it?
Edit: On further reflection, I think that the designation of "bent toast" is just too much of a slippery slope given possible malformations a food could undergo leading to morphology changes. This is the whole problem with morphological naming schema. It's carcinization all over again.
This caused me to cry-laugh and share with all my math nerd friends who know topology. (I'm sure they will be 100% fine with this.)
