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?

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

if you're looking at the whole pizza pie, the crust doesn't have open sides so it's a calzone. if you're looking at a single slice, it's sushi.

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

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

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

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

Stuffed crust is actually sushi tho.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year 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.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 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.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The sushi model is more robust as it more accurately defines the thermal dynamics of the stuffed crust system. A calzone model includes closed off face, while the faces can be pinched to an infinitesimal point to create a stuffed crust like pizza. Those faces still introduce a thermal graduate to the cheese and won't replicate the results of when we cook our awesome pizza. If instead we permit the sushi model to exist in non-eucludian space we can accurately define a stuffed crust pizza with the sushi model by bending our dimensions. As a result of this the cheese-face interface is better described however it also must exclude the calzone model for describing a stuffed crust pizza.

Thank you for coming to my bullshit TED talk.

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.

I think stuffed crust is sushi attached to toast

[–] nul@programming.dev 8 points 1 year 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."

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

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

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

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So bread is toast I guess.

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

The air all around me is salad!! Ahhhhh

[–] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I guess the air is a mixed salad of gas molecules...

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

Sounds like the kind of person who calls pizza "Italian rarebit" lol

So is a burrito a calzone or a quiche?

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

At no point is pie taken into account here

Wouldn’t a slice of stuffed crust pizza be sushi attached to toast as the slicing opens up the ends?
