    Dunno about this pizza pie business though...
    Idea! A pizza pie is a meat pie with pizza flavouring in it! And maybe some cheese on top

    I have never been across the way
    Seen the desert and the birds
    You cut your hair short
    Like a shush to an insult
    The world had been yelling
    Since the day you were born
    Revolting with anger
    While it smiled like it was cute
    That everything was shit.

      The first is Lemon Meringue Pie. Which is about the only tart or flan that we do call a pie. Although most of us actually leave the 'pie' part off and just call it 'Lemon Meringue'.

      The other two are Pecan Pie and Sweet Potato Pie, but the average Australian has probably never seen or eaten them. When I made Sweet Potato Pie for Thanksgiving, everyone said 'that's not what I expected... it's not even a pie'.

      I would probably add a fourth... Key Lime Pie. But all those are only called 'pies' because they are specifically American deserts, and so the names were imported with them. If you put any of those (barring the Lemon Meringue) in a shop and didn't label them, Australians would call them tarts or flans.

      A pastry lattice is still classed as a 'lid' though. American desert pies don't have lids at all on them usually... as per Denarius' photos. They call all sorts of things 'pies'.

      Caramelized onion tart. Goats cheese tart. Those are two classic savory tarts I can think of off the top of my head.

        Actually that's a pumpkin pie, but it's part of a collection of orange vegetable pies. Sweet potato and carrot pies are more of a southern thing, pumpkin pies are the default in the greater US. It's a thanksgiving thing, like turkey and cranberry sauce.
        Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

          Hubby is from Louisiana, hence me assuming 'sweet potato'. They look exactly the same to me, and sweet potato pie is the one that I made (Torey likes to celebrate Thanksgiving still, so we do a family dinner as close to the US Thanksgiving as we can). I didn't know that carrot pie was a thing, though.

            Wait a second, I thought there was a definition for pie/tart... Wasn't it?

              Good point.

              I'll have to agree on the lid=pie thing. Unless it's an americanism, like pumpkin pie.

                A tart is a short crust pie and ususally with more fruit and less goo in the filling...sometimes just the crust with fresh fruit, pie has a taller crust and more filling usually with more "binder" to fruit ratio than a tart (with or without a pastry top) where the whole thing is always baked together.

                "Pie" is just slang for pizza in some places, probably stemming from the "pizza pie" thing...but not everywhere. Pizza type is more determined by "style"--St Louis stype, NY style, Chicago style, etc.

                  I'd want Daiya 'cheese' on mine, and mushrooms, onion and sweetcorn.

                    Pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, and always... always extra cheese. Yum.

                      Sounds yummy! I like the combination of tuna, cheese and corn. Extra tuna.

                        I like pepperoni, onions, and black olives. I could probably eat the whole pie by myself.

                          Sounds good too. I need to try black olives sometime.

                              So...I had a craving for pizza last week. Specifically, spinach alfredo pizza and pineapple and canadian bacon pizza. Since I couldn't decide which I wanted, hubby got me both (because leftover pizza is delish all week long for lunches). I ended up taking a piece of each and eating them together. Because I'm wierd.


                              It was awesome!

                              and then I was full...

                                (no offense to the people of Malta, but it was terrifying)


                                ...I should see if I can find the pic of me trying to eat it

                                I would so eat that. I love tiny baby squids, tentacles and all...so this sounds awesome.

                                I like all the things. Really. The only stuff I really don't eat is bananas and pudding and the gods help you if either of those are on a pizza.

                                There's LOTS of olives to try on the green to black spectrum, not just green and black.

                                I have loved every olive I've tried. The "canned" black ones are sort of bland but not icky. The best ones are the wrinkled black olives, like these: http://greekfood.about.com/od/greekfoodphotogalleries/ig/Greek-Olive-Photos/Wrinkled-Black-Olives.htm

                                Crap, now I'm hungry.
