[Sca-cooks] What is the difference between a pie and a tart?

Okay, what do you see as the difference between a pie and a tart? Brekke, why wasn’t the tart as good as a pie?  Did you vary the filling?

I’ve struggled with this for years in trying to figure out whether to put various messages in the tart-msg file or one of the pie-msg files. I thought pies had top crusts, but tarts did not. However, this would mean than all those things called pumpkin pies in the stores and restaurants are actually pumpkin tarts, not pumpkin pies.

Perhaps I should just merge both together, but split them out by filling types. 

Thanks,
  Stefan
