Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I see the word pie I think
large round thing in a pie plate with crust (top and/or bottom)
and some sort of filling. I do realize that pie has other
uses but for me pie means something more specific. Thus
my surprise at finding out these were what I would call
turnovers and not what I would call pie. ;-)
