    You are a true scholar of food theory I see.

    But alas, you fool, should you thoroughly inspect the manuscripts (specifically Appendix C), you would see that salad theory firmly debunks cuberule for the farce that it is!

      While admittedly mashed potatoes and rice are miscategorized and switched from where they should be, the cube rule is a parsimonious and more accurate model! The footnote misrepresents it as location of carbs, when it is clearly stated as the location of structural starch. When reading it in this manner it is much more clear than any soup-based hyperspace nonsense!

        Gentlemen, gentlemen! There’s no need to fight!

        However, if you would continue, I would be greatly amused.

        NOTE: No offense intended with the “gentlemen” line if either of you is not male–I’m just trying to preserve the spirit of this Victorian era-style psuedoscientific slap fight.

        But even so your precious cubic musing doth fall flat when you consider your deep dish quiche permutates quickly into toast the moment it is cut.

        Not to mention one might argue it misses the classification entirely, for a slice of deep dish pizza clearly is endowed with two structural carb sides. And should such a classification exist, it would permutate once more should it be eaten outside first.

        While the manuscript of elegant salads stays much more robust to perturbations, a deep dish pizza remains firmly a salad untill the last bite.

          Is a pinwheel the same as a burrito? Of course not! Is a pepperoni roll a calzone?! Never! Structure matters! If it didn’t, why would you be able to order a personal pan pizza or a slice?! Clearly, they are different!

          By your logic, I could pick out all of the greens from my salad bowl, hand you a bowl of croutons, and have given you a salad. Preposterous!
