    I am far from well versed in baking, but my brain basically considers a cobbler a subset, or type of pies.

    Grandma would make pies and cobblers with the same circular pans, same dough, same crust… so… its just a specific kind of pie to me.

      Interesting, Ive only ever made or seen cobblers made in rectangular pans. I wonder if shape is the dividing line between people who consider them pies vs not.

        That would be my guess, yeah.

        Pie = short/stout circular cylinder, involves some kind of dough/bread, tends to have a crust, tends to have stuff witin the uh, semi-enclosed volume made by the bread.

        Can have bread/dough on top also, but doesn’t need to.

        I think that works for a chicken pot pie (apparently also shepard’s pie?), a pizza pie, an apple pie, a lemon merengue pie…

        That at least seems plausible/likely to me, but, I am only me.

        … maybe some very bored linguist or statistician has actually polled people on this?
