been too long since we had a pointless taxonomic dispute HERE'S A POWERPOINT ON WHY A QUESADILLA IS ACTUALLY A PIE
usually the food taxonomy debate things r just silly, because they're taking set-meaning terms that refer to derivative trees of foods and trying to use them taxonomically, like calling things that aren't based on the "sandwich" (lunchtime food from germanic europe based on sliced meat inside of bread) or its derivatives, a "sandwich"
but i need you to understand, ok, that "pie"? pie is not a derivative tree term in food. pie is literally a taxonomic term, referring to a food that has a "yummy payload" set within a bread-like containing food and cooked fully (usually-but-optionally from raw) like that
a quesadilla can be argued to be a pie if you do not hard-require that the casing dough be raw before the baking process, which the vast majority of speakers will not argue (due to things like pumpkin pie, or certain kinds of pizza still being "pizza pies")
