How do you feel about American’s calling pizza, a pizza pie?
And calling a burger an sandwich!
Yeah that sounds so weird to me. Because that’s not a sandwhich
It’s so fucked up
If it's a beef patty then it's a burger. If it is chicken then it's a sandwich. Wtf?
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 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
I know that, but it’s what they call it

im sorry!! 😬 😅
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
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.
I just read your description sauce onto noodles and for some reason that cracked me up
It’s fucking dumb and unhinged, that’s why. dumb and unhinged
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.
