Are tacos pies?#poll

@paulywill why must I choose?!

@mayintoronto if you consider handpies, ie. Street foods with a pastry exterior and typically a savory meaty interior that is handheld in size, it's foolish not to think a taco is a pie, especially considering a taco is also a street food.
I'm just saying.

@aneel @mayintoronto so, what is it called, without a top crust?

@deborahh @mayintoronto A taco! Pastry on all sides but one

@aneel @deborahh I'm dying. 🤣

@mayintoronto There's no lid, it's clearly a crumble.

@mayintoronto a taco is a more flexible sandwich

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@jarek What about a hard shell taco?

I had to seriously.discuss this with my spouse before voting.

But, I believe the correct answer is are tostadas acceptable on #PiDay? #absolutamente

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@knapjack Yes.

@mayintoronto Pies must initially contain a liquid filling within a crust, so a taco cannot be a pie because the filling would drip out.

- The filling is permitted to set after cooking, for example a cheesecake or a quiche
- The pie may optionally be covered with crust or remain open. A shepherd's pie is technically a layered open pie because the potato topping is not the same as the lower crust.

Glad I could clear that up for you!

@mayintoronto I think a more interesting question would be whether an empanada is a pie, at least in the sense that I think it'd start some genuine disagreements.

They're a sandwich.
