Pie or Quiche? Settle my dispute.

[DTS]

I am currently eating a food. Its got a pastry base and the middle consists of Bacon abd Egg.

Now the top of bacon and egg has a thin and sporadic pastry covering. I must stress it does not cover the whole top and is just pastry strips.

I think this is a Quiche as it has a almost no lid. My mate "The Pilot" has claimed its a pie.

Who is correct?

It is clearly a pie, although at first glance your appalling use of the Queen's English appears to leave SZers without a choice... ;)

Its a Flan I think, with a Lattice top Maybe? Just to add fuel to this debate.;)


What about a Tart Dave .....No you probally had enough of them ..

Here's the lowdown on both so you can make an informed decision -->

Pie

Quiche

So as it has a lattice pastry lid it is called a Pie whereas if there was no pastry on top it would be a quiche.
