[QUOTE="embee, post: 8192101, member: 7026827"] 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 [[I]see [/I]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. [I]See [/I]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. [/QUOTE]
