This is interesting! I /do/ think of quiche as a type of pie.. at its heart it's a savory custard pie.

I would definitely not have thought cheesecake would win the pie category over such fine fruit pies as blueberry or apple, though.

And leaving aside the whole question of meat pies, which are turnovers, which are *sort of* pie...

Thinking about it a bit more, my instinct is that if it can be made without a crust and still stand up on the plate, it's not a pie. So chicken pot pie, which requires the crust to hold together, I think of as pie, but quiche, which can hold together through its own coherence and consistency even without a crust, isn't.

I have no good reason to think my feelings on this are correct, mind. ;)

But a turnover is a pasty, not a pie! And pork pies are made of pastry which stands up by itself.
