If my gramma had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.

And then everyone would ride her

That reminds me of a Dutch saying: ‘You have to learn it on an old bicycle’.

Y'know, if it had ham in it, it's closer to a British carbonara

So clearly Lasagna is a fruit cake.

Behold. A toast

Yum. Raw salmon toast! 😋

TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 219d

And there you go! Lasagna is now officially a tomato cake.

Pizza is a fruit pie

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 8 pts · 219d (5 replies)

I thought about that too but I think the Mozz disqualifies it sadly.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 9 pts · 219d (3 replies)

So is cheese cake not a cake?

And cheese danishes not pastries?

Pizza is a fruit pie.

Lasagna is a fruit cake.

Water is lava.

Good luck with your Mozzarella Cheesecake, pal.

Don't tempt me with a good time homie! Now excuse my while I eat my Mac and cheddar cereal.

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 3 pts · 219d

I would be interested in a mozzarella cheesecake. Like a soufflé but less egg?

ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 219d

There are some people in the Midwest who like to put a slice of cheddar on top of their pie.

Lasagna is tomato cake

TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 219d (8 replies)

Keep on going. Eventually you’ll prove that lasagna is a sandwich.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 219d (3 replies)

Is there such thing as a sandwich cake?

After a quick googling, I'm going with sponge cakes are a sandwich.

Not only is that deeply cursed, it also exists.

That was so interesting to read! Wonder why this notification only came through a week after you made this comment... Weird.

Lydia_K@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 219d (2 replies)

Only if you put it on top of a pizza and below an upside-down pizza.

KoboldCoterie@pawb.social · 5 pts · 219d

You know... Lasagna is sauce, cheese and vegetables or meat on a dough base.

Lasagna is a pizza.

TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 219d

Getting closer. What if you think of pasta as type of unleavened bread. It’s made of wheat flour after all.

axexrx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d

Its a dagwood multiple layers of toppings, with layers of bread in between

Valmond@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d (1 reply)

As it contains cheese!

Cort@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 219d

A layered tomato cheesecake.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 219d

Just said the same thing further up. Doubly so for veggie lasagne containing even more fruits like zucchini and peppers.

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 219d (9 replies)

Fruit pie

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 8 pts · 219d (8 replies)

Yeah crust on top. Its a pie.

Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 219d (2 replies)

wait, you finish your lasagna with just plain pasta? You don't cover it with more sauce and cheese?

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 219d (1 reply)

Egg wash it. Crispy top

Edit: and cheese and a spritz of oil but certainly not more sauce on top. Way to wet

some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d

Hot take, but lasagna noodles should never be crispy

Dalvoron@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 219d (4 replies)

Crust on top is not the distinguishing feature between pies and tarts. Tarts often have top crusts. The only consistent difference is the angle and sturdiness of the sides - tarts have vertical (or nearly), sturdy sides, pies have angled sides that are less sturdy.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 3 pts · 219d (2 replies)

I think all tarts are pies but not all pies are tarts.
This is one of those fine line semantics that I do actually find interesting as to the cutoff.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d (1 reply)

so how whorish does a pie have to get to be a tart?

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 219d

LOL

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d

so what the fuck are those bottomless pies? i like to call them chappies

Babe, what's wrong? You've barely touched your fruit salad?

Waiting on the new lasagna-flavored Pop-Tarts to appear any day now...

originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com · 6 pts · 220d

if your lasagna is tart you better toss it

Plot twist: tomato is a berry. 😱

::: spoiler Spoiler But only botanically speaking. In a culinary context, words have no logically consistent meanings. Anything goes. :::

  1. Lasagna is the shape of the noodle.
  2. There are varieties without tomato i.e. Lasagna bianca.
Rothe@piefed.social · 3 pts · 219d

Also properly made lasagna with ragu alla bolognese contains very little tomato. It is a meat ragu, not a tomato sugo.

SethranKada@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 219d

I think we might have very different definitions of tart.

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 3 pts · 219d (6 replies)

I'm not sure if I buy this but a sweet lasagna could be interesting 🤔

TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 219d (3 replies)

there are dessert lasgnas, like dessert pizzas

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 219d (1 reply)

Layer cake is a dessert lasagna.

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 1 pts · 219d

What is cake? It sounds like there are some options here 😋

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 1 pts · 219d

I will look into dessert lasagna!

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 219d (1 reply)

How about "veggie" lasagna, which I mostly made up of fruits like zucchini and peppers? Grain for the dough? Dehulled nuts. Sounds like a cake to me not completely unlike baclava.

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 1 pts · 219d

I have made baklava as recently as a year ago, and have heard of savory baklava, so why not?

KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 219d

Wouldn’t it be a trifle rather than a tart?
