    Alright food topology experts: is a parfait a type of shepherd’s pie? A type of lazagna? A tiramisu, perhaps? I need answers.

      A tiramisu is a sweet lasagna. You have alternating layers of carb and sauce and cheese mixture of some kind.

      A shepherd’s pie is it’s own unique thing as there are no alternating layers and the cheese layers are not mandatory.

      The French parfait (different from what you’re probably thinking) is a flipped shepherd’s pie.

      The American parfait is lasagna, as it’s usually alternating layers of carb, fruits (with their sauce, often very jammy), and not cheese but a dairy mixture still.

      According to Wikipedia, it’s frozen custard if you’re in France, but in America, it’s basically a layered dessert.

      Which means this thing actually DOES follow most of the rules, it’s just failing at the dessert part. Unless you’re the type of person who considers pizza a vegetable, I guess.
