    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.

      I just questioned this elsewhere and am in full agreement. Should be a pie.

      Your comment makes me think that we’re missing (at least) one of configurations on the diagram, the one where two bases are perpendicular to each other. A slice of pizza will have that configuration, but I am too culinary-challenged to imagine anything else by that shape to name it after 🤔

      I would find it a tad odd to refer to a hotdog as simply a sandwich, because we have a more precise and common word for it, but I would understand nonetheless.

      Not just because of this debate, but also because when you use the ingredients separately you get weiner sandwiches and hot dog bun sandwiches.

      It would be odd to call champagne wine, but still understandable. Same for calling a lava lamp an incandescent light. Actually, this would probably work for lots of genericized tradmarks, like jello, bandaid, dumpster, zamboni, kleenex, zipper, velcro, and so on.

        Well, in the case when a table is empty except for the hotdog sandwich in question, I would maybe understand. But I imagine myself to be quite dumbfounded with such a naming

          At this point, it’s pretty hard to find a natural opinion on hotdogs as sandwiches sunce everyone has heard of the great sandwich debate, but I don’t think it’s a big leap. I think calling a hamburger a sandwich is about as weird, for example.

    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.

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

        Everyone in this thread is ignoring a lot, mostly that vastly different preparation methods van make the same structure, and the same method vastly different structures. Like pasta, which category you get depends on exactly what kind you have.

      A stuffed crust pizza would be a calzone only when it’s still yet to be cut into slices.

      The moment a slice is removed from the whole would be when it becomes sushi.

    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.
