Time for a shitpost. Let’s play a round of Only Connect!
What’s the connection?
Chicago Pizza
SpaceX Starship
King Cobra
Holy Roman Empire

  @goatsarah They aren't what they are called. Chicago pizza isn't a pizza, SpaceX Starship doesn't go to the stars, a King Cobra isn't a cobra, and the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, not roman and not an empire.

  Both are acceptable answers! The Holy Roman Empire is, at Richard noticed, a bonus triple.

  I would note that a king cobra is a cobra, but only in the português sense.

  @po8crg Although in cladistic terms, “king” in a snake name means opidiophagy.

  @goatsarah Also, King Cobras aren't royal. I was wondering if Chicago pizza wasn't from Chicago, but it turns out that it is.

  @po8crg @goatsarah I think that Chicago pizza is at least similar enough to unqualified pizza to bear the _qualified_ name. It's perfectly standard for an X Y to be _somewhat_ different from the prototypical Y, and I don't think that chicago pizza exceeds that level of difference, unless "pizza" is defined _particularly_ narrowly.
  (disclaimer, it's been many years since I've eaten a Chicago pizza. It didn't make a massive impression on me, gastronomically-speaking.)

  @goatsarah @po8crg I get that you disapprove of it, but it's not "not a pizza" in the way that a Welsh Rabbit (aka rarebit) is "not a rabbit".

  @goatsarah @po8crg chicago pizza quite possibly qualifies as a quiche *as well as* a pizza. That's OK, categories can overlap.

  @nickbwalking @po8crg @pseudomonas Now now, as Adam says, we shouldn’t be too prescriptive. If the good people of Chicago want to eschew egg in their quiche, who are we to judge?
  I should, however, note that Welsh Rarebit actually is pizza.

  @goatsarah @po8crg @pseudomonas for me 'quiche' implies something that's mainly egg-based, so it doesn't fall into that category, though it is as much a pie as it is a pizza.

    Colt King Cobra
    
    First introduced in 1986, the Colt King Cobra is a medium frame double-action revolver featuring a six round cylinder which was designed and produced by the Colt's Manufacturing Company and marketed to law enforcement agencies and civilian firearms enthusiasts. Available in blued and stainless steel finishes in a variety of barrel lengths and chambered for centerfire .357 Magnum ammunition. Development and history Despite its outward similarity to the Colt Python, the King Cobra design is based upon that of an earlier Colt model, the venerable Trooper MK V, improved with the addition of a heavier-duty barrel, full barrel length cylinder ejection rod protection shroud, and a thicker solid rib on top of the barrel. The King Cobra was introduced in 1986, discontinued in 1992, and returned to Colt's product line in 1994. Dropped a second time in 1998, it was not reintroduced until 2019 as a .357 Magnum, three inch barrel variant of the 2017 Colt Cobra. Features Built on Colt's medium-size ‘V’ frame from 1986 to 1992, the King Cobra was offered in very hi-grade carbon steel with...

  @pseudomonas
  It ain't remotely a quiche. I've yet to encounter one that included eggs or had a pastry crust.
  As a linguistic realist, I believe foods are what they are called if they are called that by enough people who eat those foods.

  LIke I said, no egg, no pastry crust. That's a yeasted crust.
  (Some might have egg if they're filled with ricotta, which sometimes gets a bit of egg to fluff it up.)

  @FeralRobots @po8crg @pseudomonas Have to say, the intricacies of baked gluten products escape me, since I have to file them all under “poison” these days.
  Anyway, it was a very pleasant fruit tart.
