Yes yes yes! And similarly, a Thai Green Curry is a not a soup or a stew either. "Soup" and "stew" are not some kind of fundamental categories of food; they are products of a certain range of cultures.

This annoys me as much as the infuriating "pear ciders" flooding the market. Cider is made from apples. If you make an alcoholic beverage from pears, it's called "perry"!
