[Sca-cooks] tarts vs. pies, a bit of help

[Daniel Myers]

I think a lot of the problem here is that even within a specific 
source, the terms "pie", "tart", "tort", and "pasty" are not used 
consistently.  This can be further compounded by differences in 
translation.

For example, in Scully's "Neapolitan Recipe Collection", there are some 
recipes called "torta" that are double-crust pies, and others that are 
tarts.  The only way to figure out which one is meant is through 
context.
