Pizza, e.g.

Answer:

PIE

Hint:

Think of a broad food category that includes both sweet desserts like apple or cherry and savory dishes like this Italian favorite.

Explanation:

"Pizza, e.g." is a straightforward example clue where "e.g." signals that pizza is one instance of a broader category. The answer "PIE" fits because pizza is technically a type of pie—a flat, baked dish with a crust and toppings. The clue plays on the general definition rather than the specific food people usually think of when they hear "pie." It’s a simple but clever way to test whether you recognize the less obvious classification.
