    An interesting thesis! Please elaborate, and then let's discuss where the lines are between casseroles, quiches, open pies, pastry-covered pies, calzones/empanadas/gyoza and wraps/burritos

    casseroles are jumbles held together with a binder (like egg, or cheese). some have pie crusts (on the bottom and/or top, example chicken pot pie). they are often one dish meals (the pizza pan) and often identified by their baking utensil (the pizza pan).

    Fair. I personally think that a pizza doesnt quite qulify, but i see the logic. By this logic, however, all pies are also casseroles. I'm OK with this. However, where does an open-faced bagel with shmear fit? Or a calzone?

    i'm not a casserole expert but i think you need both filling and binder. Like a cheese egg quiche would not be a casserole but a cheese egg broccoli quiche would because cheese and eggs are both binders. So like with a chocolate mousse, it's something else unless there's chocolate chunks or nuts in that mousse. An open-faced bagel with shmear, is it one of those shmears that includes solids or is it just a smooth even shmear?

    i didn't grow up in a house of pedants no how could you tell
