But what IS pie, really?

If a Martian came to earth:

How would you explain Pie to them?

That picture made me really laugh

 

[astnko]

i would shove some in their mouth and theyll get it

Hmm. Though there are single-crust pies, some are technically tarts. <sigh> This poor Martian.
Then what about pizza? I feel so lied to! This whole time, the moon should have hit my heart, like a big pizza tart- THAT'S amore.

Well does a crumble top count to make it a pie? Because then you could call the cheese a crumble top....it's stretching it though....I'm just trying to save the song ok

A big round piece of dough that you put stuff in and then cook it. Try to put what humans call food in it, and you usually want to put sweet things in it.

You also are supposed to eat it in triangle-like shapes.

It's a chart.

A vital component of a Wigan kebab.

Pie is edible, but sometimes it comes to life like for example, this

 

[Mysterionz]

Food with filling in it

Wait, this Martian is getting confused. Would the puny Earthling delicacy "taco salad bowl" be a pie? How about the "bread bowl" found at Klorg the Unending's domicile (formerly Panera Bread)?

Ah, wise query, Martian Taco salad bowl not pie: it’s salad in crunchy armor. Bread bowl? Closer, edible vessel for soup sorcery. Still not pie. No crust-lid union Pie demands filling ensconced, not lounging.
