If pizza is toast, so are any and all pies. That's five out of five :thonkang:s for me.
Also, I say that Taco Bell is trash, and I could name fifteen others that are scraping the bottom of the barrel in quality.
(it doesn't say that the quality was always bad-just bad now)
Cereal, is still stew, though I use that association very loosely as I don't associate soup/stew with anything cold (because the origins of soup are heavily entwined with boiling ingredients in a fluid substance that if I described in detail would likely get me flagged because of how gorey it is).
I maintain that a frankfurter is not a sandwich if it is by itself; it's just 'silly' sausage.

Except "stew" refers to the cooking method in addition to the end result. You stew a stew but you don't soup a soup.

You don't toast pizza to make pizza. You bake it, like you do with bread dough. Toast is what you get when you re-heat already baked, sliced bread. Therefore, pizza is baked. However, if you re-heat pizza left-overs, maybe those are toast? Hmm. Perhaps not if they are microwaved. I wouldn't consider microwaved bread slices to be toast (who does that? ), unless they were already toasted.

What about if the pizza is made using a store bought base, @Grand Prix, is it toast then also?
I suppose a folded pizza is a sandwich.

Already baked? I suppose so.
A folded pizza might be a taco, like a hot dog without the bun sliced in two. A stromboli is what you get when you roll the pizza. If you take two slices of pizza and lay one on top of the other, that might be a sandwich. If the dough is folded and the filling/toppings are enclosed prior to baking, that's a calzone.
Now we're thinking about the real important questions.

I'm not sure a slice of toast with pizza toppings on it is a true pizza. It might resemble pizza, but the important bit is that pizza is baked. If you bake bread, slice it, and then put tomatoes and cheese on top, and then toast it, that's a very different cooking process from how pizza is normally made. It's impostor pizza.
Kind of like how the Douglas Fir isn't a true fir. It resembles firs, but it's not a true fir.

There seems to be a need to over-categorize everything instead of accepting them as they are. Reminds me of the Victorians. Although in the Victorians' case it was a useful trait to have when they were discovering dinosaurs, and trying to better understand evolution. But it also resulted in some stupid names for shields (like kite shield, heater shield, etc.) when the Medieval people that used them probably just called them, "shields."
The naming of sword types could get pretty complex in the Victorian period as well.Maybe sometimes a hot dog is just a hot dog?

Unnn...the Kite Shield dates back by both forgeprint and name long before the Victorian era. Actually, when shortening names, kite shields were often referred to as 'kites' back then, AND STILL ARE. Same with swords. The term 'bastard' refers to a narrow, often blunt-tipped sword used for fencing, and was the common term before it was turned into a slur used against 'fatherless children'. (whomever coined the slur deserves a beating)
Yup. To me, just a sausage. To eat. Or poke at. Or poke fun at when it goes "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!", lolz #SillySausage

My mistake, the kite shield terminology is quite old indeed.
Bastard swords were what modern people sometimes refer to as "hand-and-a-half" swords, they were not necessarily blunt fencing weapons, and they were referred to as "bastards" in-period. Bastard swords in the medieval period were also called longswords, two-handed swords, and, "swords."
Medieval people were quite pragmatic with the terminology in other words.
Most of them didn't need a hundred different names for swords because it wasn't relevant to them, but some people did make an effort to distinguish, as they do today. Just like how some people call a hot dog a hot dog, and a hotdog a sandwich/taco. Ultimately, it's unnecessary categorization. As long as people know what you are referring to when you say "hot dog," that's what really matters.

This is a good point. Save for some over-the-top examples that seem to be meant more for Instagram than actual consumption, hot dogs do tend to be very one-handable. This distinguishes them from your average sandwich, unless that sandwich is one that, by nature, holds itself together (grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, etc).

Never! Tomatoes are fruit. So are eggplants and squash. Olives, too. And peppers! Legumes are fruit, which means peanuts aren't actually nuts, rather they're the seeds of a fruit. Walnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios aren't nuts either, rather they're also the seeds of fruit (specifically drupes, like peaches), and in the case of the cashew, the seed is actually outside of the fruit body (referred to as a cashew apple). Pignoli (pine nuts) aren't actually nuts, instead they're gymnosperms--the unprotected seeds of the pine tree, carried by the cone. The cone is not a fruit. Avocados are large berries. Bananas and pineapple are fruit, as you're likely aware, but they're actually berries as well.
But, you know what? All fruits are edible portions of plants...which means they're vegetables!
No. Never heard of it. Looks delicious.You've clearly never had a coney dog...
Good luck eating that without getting messy.
You clearly haven't seen me eating a cheeseburger.
Nooooo, you just shattered my world.
