food crimes
@IrisKalmia @Oneironott I'll bet it's to hold the crust down! Old kitchen-witch tradition. Some people use beans, and they also sell little wooden beads for it. It prevents the crust from rising up and getting bubbly!

@Thaminga @zebratron2084 @IrisKalmia @Oneironott oh cool, thank you! Since "starchy rice dumplings" are in fact a thing I had no idea that rice pie *wasn't*.

@Leucrotta @Thaminga @zebratron2084 @IrisKalmia i am very both amused and satisfied to learn something out of just finding it visually funny n.n
re: food crimes
@Oneironott @Leucrotta @Thaminga @zebratron2084 @IrisKalmia There also exist casserole-like (baked) versions of rice pudding, which could be placed in a pie crust to yield a rice pie. I mean, if you wanted to do that.
(It would totally be a foodcrime. All on its own.)

re: food crimes
@zebratron2084 @IrisKalmia @Oneironott Indeed~ It's basically there to serve as a pie weight.
