How do you feel about American’s calling pizza, a pizza pie?

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And calling a burger an sandwich!

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that sounds so weird to me. Because that’s not a sandwhich

If it's a beef patty then it's a burger. If it is chicken then it's a sandwich. Wtf?

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's cos burger is short for Hamburger, from Hamburg. Which is a beef patty, not a ham one. I can see the logic using a different name for a chicken version (not from Hamburg). What cracks me up is baconburger.

It’s so fucked up

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t love it, but it doesn’t elicit the same visceral reaction from me as watching a cooking video of someone making lasagne and them saying “and then you’re just gonna layer your bolognaise sauce with your noodles”

Deep dish pizza I can accept could possibly be classified as a pie.

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just read your description sauce onto noodles and for some reason that cracked me up

It’s ducking dumb and unhinged, that’s why. dumb and unhinged

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I'm probably wrong here, but doesn't 'pizza' actually mean 'pie' - so pizza pie would be a 'pie pie'. I am looking forward to the magpizza swooping season.

IT'S NOT A PIE FFS

edit: im not that mad im sorry! i was trying to convey that i dont think pizza is a 'pie' and the americans have it wrong

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know that, but it’s what they call it

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you apologising for? You’re all good, apology unnecessary. To me it’s odd to hear but then again, I guess each country has its own thing
