I can't imagine basting a beef wellington, because of the pastry wrapper, but that doesn't mean you couldn't, so I was trying to work out what your definition came down to. It sounds like you're saying that if you think something could be basted, then it's a roast, but if it couldn't, then it's baked. If that's your intent, then it feels like the can's been kicked down the road to the comparably confusing definition of a 'bastable food', yes? (To clarify -- this is because I'm assuming, per previous response, that it's not so much if something was actually basted, but whether it should / could be.)
