There are a few missing variations that aren't symmetric to one of the 6 existing categories. I wonder if this implies that there are other categories possible

There are a few missing variations that aren't symmetric to one of the 6 existing categories. I wonder if this implies that there are other categories possible that haven't been made yet. The one with the most possibility is two starch faces, as in (2), but the starch faces share an edge.

That's just a degenerate case of the taco.

  Is a hard shell taco that has split a sandwich?

    Obviously, and a burrito cut in half is a quiche. Throw away one half, cut off the end, and what remains is a sushi.

    No, there is no acceptable state between burrito and salad. A split taco is an initial demonstration of innate knowledge and some motor control, best done before the staff retreats.

I immediately thought of this with the pumpkin pie slice. Also, the site indicates that a whole double-crust pie is a calzone, while a slice of double-crust pie is a taco. Having food categories change as they are served and consumed seems fundamentally unstable and can lead only to chaos. The single slice could easily pass through three or four stages during consumption alone! I think a food's category must be fixed at the end of preparation, for the sake of all sanity.

Yeah, also it may seem obvious that a bagel sandwich sliced in the traditional would fall into the {top,bottom} Sandwich category, but they provide no formal descriptions of smoothing. I'm sure I could construct some wildly-non-homotopic constructs that would defy the "obvious" smoothing. (Is an uncut bagel a Toast or an "air" Sushi?) If I were arguing for this rule, though, I'd say that the unlisted combinations should collapse to the listed ones based on curvature. {side,bottom} collapses to either Toast or Taco, and {side,back,bottom} collapses to any of Toast, Quiche, or Taco.

  Bagels are boiled dough, so an uncut bagel is therefore a dumpling.
