So according to Merriam Webster bread is: a usually baked and leavened food made of a mixture whose basic constituent is flour or meal
And cake is: A: a breadlike food made from a dough or batter that is usually fried or baked in small flat shapes and is often unleavened B: a sweet baked food made from a dough or thick batter usually containing flour and sugar and often shortening, eggs, and a raising agent (such as baking powder)
And yet some people don’t think that cake is bread.
What’s your opinion?
I once had a similar thought and reached the conclusion that based on dictionary definitions, everything can be categorized as either a soup or a salad.
Cake and bread are actually the same since they are both soups.
What is pizza?
Salad obviously
But the pizza base is bread, and bread is a soup.
Ask yourself this: is it cooked?
If it is, it’s soup, if it’s not, it’s a salad.
And if some parts of it are cooked and some are not, it is a salad and a soup mixed in some way.
Pizza would just be soup. Sushi for example is a soup and salad combo, since the rice is cooked (soup) and the filling is usually fresh (salad)
