Subject: vocabulary

I have to be at a dinner event Wednesday evening in London (Kensington Roof
Gardens).
The menu ends with "caramelized apple tart".

Is "tart" a common Anglo-Saxon name for pie?

What in Dutch is called "taart" (pie) is rather called "vlaai" in
Limburgish.

When one orders "vlaai" in East Flanders though, one gets something
completely different from pie. I guess its a mixture of gingerbread, dark
pudding and raisins over there.

Regards,

Roger
