The alignment chart re-imagined.

Serious stuff here, folks!

 

[Mind of tempest]

poptarts are not a food thus they can't be a sandwich.

This chart is flawed for several reasons:

Envelopment by the bread or bread analog is not necessary for a sandwich. See open-faced sandwich.
Hinged bread qualifies as "pure" structure. See submarine sandwich; see also Italian sausage sandwich, gyro.
Meat, cheese, condiments are not necessary for a "pure" sandwich. See Ice cream sandwich.

The above cited sandwiches are, by their very name, sandwiches and all would fit firmly in the "Lawful Good" slot.

From these examples which are, by their very name, generally accepted as sandwiches, we can extrapolate that a sandwich is "food bounded on at least one side by bread or a bread analog.

What I hate is when someone says they're a structural rebel and ingredient purist, then they start putting Gochuchang on their tunafish wrap. Ingredient purist means you can't mix the proper ingredients for a sandwich! Come on now!

Envelopment by the bread or bread analog is not necessary for a sandwich. See open-faced sandwich.

If an open-faced "sandwich" is a sandwich, so is pizza, and everyone knows pizza is a pie. Therefore an open-faced sandwich is actually a pie.

Spoken like a Structure Neutral Ingredient Rebel. I refute your heresy and say only Tea Sandwiches (with crusts cut off) are true sandwiches! I’m am part of a small sect of Ingredient and Structure purists that follow a very specific code of conduct that allows no deviance. We are willing to fight for this code even to the point of seeing others kicked out of the party (Tea party)

An open-faced sandwich is a sandwich. If you go to any diner, you will find them on the menu in the chapter entitled "Sandwiches."

I have no quarrel with pizza being considered a sandwich. However, just as not all sandwiches are pizza, not all sandwiches are pie.

A pie is a dish, often baked (but not always [see no-bake cheesecake]) which is usually made of a pastry dough casing containing a filling of various sweet or savory ingredients. Sweet pies may be filled with altered fruit (as in an apple pie), nuts (pecan pie), brown sugar (sugar pie) or sweetened vegetables (rhubarb pie). Savory pies may be filled with meat (as in a steak pie or a Jamaican patty), eggs and cheese (quiche) or a mixture of meat and vegetables (pot pie).

Pies may be defined by their crusts. A filled pie (also single-crust or bottom-crust), has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry but left open. A top-crust pie has the filling in the bottom of the dish and is covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. This also shows that pastry is not a necessary element and that pastry analog. See Shepherd's pie.

A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Accordingly, burritos, like pizza, are both sandwiches and pies.

And yes...

Cheesecake is a pie. Specifically, it is a tart.

I don’t think there’s a need to get personal. Cheesecake doesn’t need to confirm to your sexual mores.
