Tarts/(sweet)Cakes and Pies Explanation: By reading several descriptions and looking at the pictures even those posted by colleagues it seems to me to be the difference in English between tarts (shallow and uncovered) and sweet pies (which are deeper and can be uncovered like pumpkin pie or covered like apple pie) or cakes (also deep) The Spanish pastel seems to encompass almost everything from cakes to pies to puddings but exclude tarts. maybe you could get away with being very generic and say TARTS AND CAKES but to an English ear that would exclude pies. I would say the depth of the dish is an important distinction https://srecetas.es/articulos/pie-tarta-pastel-cual-es-la-di... Pie, tarta, pastel; cuál es la diferencia entre ellos? ¿Alguna vez te preguntaste por qué se dice "pastel", "tarta" o "pie", si todas involucran masa, relleno y molde? Un pastel, como dice el diccionario, es una preparación hecha con una masa que envuelve un relleno, dulce o salado. En algunas provincias argentinas llaman pastel a las empanadas, y por eso se le dice "pastelito dulce" al que lleva dulces en su interior para distinguirlo de las empanadas. ¿Y entonces por qué al pastel de papa lo llamamos pastel, si no tiene masa? La receta original tiene puré de papa por arriba y por debajo, envolviendo el relleno, por eso se lo considera pastel. La palabra "pie", según su definición en inglés, es "un tipo de comida hecha a base de carne, vegetales o fruta cubierto con masa y horneado". Son las típicas preparaciones que se hacen en cazuelas aptas para horno que tienen un relleno que se cubre por completo con una masa, que hay que romper con el tenedor para comerla, y por eso estas preparaciones nunca se cortan en porciones. ¿Y la tarta? ¿Acaso la tarta no tiene masa por arriba y por abajo? ¡Exacto! Por eso el diccionario la define como un "pastel grande" relleno con salado o dulce que, como va en molde para contener la preparación, puede quedar abierta o sin tapa de masa, tal cual la definición en inglés de la palabra "tart". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-04-25 10:15:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tart= a small or shallow OPEN pie with a fruit filling -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-04-25 10:18:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note that Pastel also translates turnovers as well as pies http://www.spanishcentral.com/translate/pastel 2pastel masculine noun English Translation of PASTEL 1 : cake pastel de cumpleaños birthday cake 2 : pie, turnover -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2017-04-25 13:38:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&searc... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2017-04-26 12:41:55 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, an interesting kudoz! By the way, the 'sweet' in my answer was meant to refer only to the pies not the cakes. So tarts versus cakes (and sweet pies). Glad your client clarified!
