Now help me understand where stew and porridge fit in. Also what the fuck is cream of wheat, because I’m not sure if that’s any of the above or just mud: “soft, sticky matter resulting from the mixing of earth and water.”

Is a pie a vessel that holds stew? Like a shepherds pie or apple pie both seem like stew in pastry. But then does again aren’t calzones and pierogis dumplings?

Sorry, I’ve just got some food identification questions
