It's on.
-
I like boston cream pies, blueberry pie, and apple pie mostly.
I like cake, too, but pie wins.
-
Cake!!! Chocolate Cake, cheesecake, any kind of caek!
-
Godo job, Ryan. You love it so much you even spelled it right. :D
(Just kidding. :) )
-
It matters not how cake is spelled, it will always prevail. 8)
-
My vote should be obvious.
Come on Pie! You are my tastiest candidate!
-
But the question is: if 'cake' is not spelled like 'cake,' is it still cake? *scratches beard with two fingers while squinting eyes mysteriously*
And, if it's not, then you are technically putting in a vote for something other than cake, in which case your vote should be subtracted from the poll.…
-
You'd best link your fellow cake supporters, Inq. It looks like pie is off to a good start.
-
Caek is an alternate spelling of cake. Now charge!!!!
-
I much prefer cash.... Who am I kidding? Cash sucks. Charge indeed!
-
Pie cannot be trusted! To battle!
-
C'mon. Be serious. I'm a Rich Mercenary with a BAMF name. You can't touch dis.
:P Pie-lovers, advance!!!
OMG this is so awesome!!! I feel like a little kid again!!! :D (Oh, wait. I am a little kid. :()

*Throws a cake at Shaggy*

*pays cake redire and stuff itself into ryans mouth*

C'mon. Be serious. I'm a Rich Mercenary with a BAMF name. You can't touch dis.
:P Pie-lovers, advance!!!
*whispers*
SHHH! Don't let him know we hired mercenaries or he might get ideas!
*/whispers**Throws a cake at Shaggy*
*Sneak attack of cherry pie from above!*
-
*Eats cake and cries, because cake is amazing*
Why do you think clowns throw pies at people instead of cake? Because they would rather eat the cake than throw it.
-
Then why the hell did YOU throw the cake? Huh? Gotcha!!!
*casually motions hidden snipers to load banana pie guns*
-
because i will not TOUCH pie!
-
TOO LATE!!!
FIRE!!!
*paradise begins as hundreds upon thousands upon millions pounds of chocolate boston cream pie crush the life out of the cake-lovers. their leader draws out one last breath and then dies. they all turn into pie and we have fun* :P
-
*flies over in his eclair bomber, turning it into a chocolate Boston eclair pie*
-
Sortitus, we must become living pie-posters!!! Add the message: {Pie-Lover Poster Boy}
All fellow pie lovers, please do the same!!!
-
And on the seventh day, the lord rested and had cake. ;D
-
Then he realized it tasted like {insert synonym of choice for 'poop'}, threw it away, and had a good ol' blueberry pie (with ice cream). Yummmm.
-
And on the seventh day, the lord rested and had cake. ;D
And on the second first day, he created pie because the cake was not to his liking. Also on that day: penguins!
-
And the penguins became poster-boys for pie, too.
Oh, and by the way…the apple in the Garden of Eden was actually a vanilla boston cream pie, and that was why Adam had to eat it–'cause it was JUST. SO. GOOD.
-
The Lord, He createth pie. And he tried it and said, "hmm... something is wrong here." And so he created cake, and saw that it was better.
-
lies, Lies, LIES!!!
That doesn't matter, though, anyway. The polls don't lie. O:)
-
Need I change this thread's title to "Sponges: The Food VS Delicious Pie"? Need I??? ;)
-
Does Creme Brulee' / Flan count as pie or cake?
Next to those I like half chocolate half blond brownies with rasberry and chocolate sauces. Then third in line is Chocolate fudge cake made in the Torte style not the Kuchen style with butter cream icing. Not sure if that aligns me with the Pie Faces or the Cake Walkers. ;P
-
I think you'd be better off not voting, Renoard.
-
Aha! A fellow cake-lover! My backup has arrived! To arms!
-
Yeah I'm with you cake is definitely superior to pie.
-
Pshh. Ignorance abounds.
-
I know all these pie lovers when will they see the light. :P
-
Ahhhhh... cake
-
I know all these pie lovers when will they see the light.
Yet we are still winning. Hmm.
-
Unfortunately, I can't make the poll results show in a pie chart. I suppose it's a small victory for the cake lovers that the only graphical option is a bar graph. Possibly their only though. :P
-
Cookie bars?
-
Lemon bars. (mmmmm)
-
Woo pie! Go team go!
-
I'm in for CAKE!! DEATH BY CHOCOLATE!!!!!! *throws at shaggy*
-
Reonard Torte is more or less american cake so vote CAKE!!!!!!!!!
-
Reonard Torte is more or less american cake so vote CAKE!!!!!!!!!
however, flan is pretty much like a pie filling without the crust! GO PIE, MAN!!
-
No way flan isn't like pie at all it is it's own catergory though torte is a fancy sweet cake... it honestly falls into that catergory while flan doesn't fall into any catergory other than flan so VOTE CAKE!!!!!
-
I really like poor man's cake with raisins. I'm also a fan of no-sugar apple pie with weaved crust and real whipped cream.
-
How is it that the Texans are always on the same side....it's almost like God planned it to be so :o
-
I'm torn. I like them both. Why must we always pick sides? Why can't the pie eaters with their delicious tributes to various fruits and the cake lovers with all their creamy goodness sit down together at the table of life in harmony and finally do something about the starvation in Africa? :P
-
Whatever, man. I just want my blueberry. :P
-
I care more of my current hunger and how i have to go to graduation rehersal in 10 minutes with out lunch than i care about Africa... i am selfish like that... and we can all sit down and eat mockingbird cake because it has fruit in it!!!!
-
Mockingbird ca–WHAT?!?
-
New pie campaign slogan: Vote for pie. He wont kill small woodland critters to make into pastries.
-
Pie is a 'he' now? ;D
-
Pie is a 'he' now? ;D
If you want it to be. Pie transcends gender, and will be whatever you want it to be to make you happy, as pie cares only for your happiness.
-
Hmm... that is a pretty good argument, Eerongal. Maybe I'll just let you guys duke it out and than go for the winning side. I like winning, and at the very least it will be entertaining. ;)
-
BAHAHAHA too true, too true.
*sigh*…the freedom of winning.… ;)
-
It's a close margin now.... I really wasn't expecting such a showing from cake, but they are doing quite well. Considering the quality of product they have to work with.
Remember, the cake is a lie.
-
Obviously. What else would it be?
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! And Kaz, we're Texans. We know what's good.
-
I knew another Texan once…well he wasn't really Texan…but he pretended to be…hmm–what was his name again?? I think it was something…something with a 'B'…Billiard? Bilmore? BUSH!! That's it!! George W. Bush. Right. You guys ever heard of him?
-
Bush was born in Connecticut. Don't compare him to real Texans. 8)
-
We won't if you concede and stop calling cake real dessert.
-
But my argument is based in fact. Ya'lls is not. I win.
-
"Bush i like bush...ohh you meant the president" that is a quote of achmed the undead terrorist a dummy of Jeff Dunham who is awesome!
CAKE FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
The cake is a lie, therefore pie wins by default.
-
Bush was born in Connecticut. Don't compare him to real Texans. 8)
He was born in Connecticut, but RAISED in Midland and Houston. Where you're born has nothing to do with where you've lived at, and where you are an official citizen of. Considering he wasn't even in Connecticut long enough to start school there (i.e. until about 4 or 5 years old), he's pretty much just as texan as anyone born and raised in texas, since, basically, your only social interactions to that point are your family.
-
That's just not true. If you've ever been to Texas, you'll know that there is a big difference betweeen someone born and raised in Texas, and someone just raised in Texas ;D
-
It's a citizenship thing and all Texans know it the only way to be nationalized other than birth is to marry a Texan by birth and stay wedded to them for a miserably long time... :P and all hardcore Texans were conceived born and raised in Texas
-
I will never understand Texans. I wouldn't apply the same standards for naturalization to the nation as you do to your piddly little state.
Yeah. I called Texas little. You only have 7.4% (http://www58.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=land+area+of+texas+%2F+land+area+of+the+united+states) of the total land area in the nation. So eat it. Eat your inferior spurious cake! Leave the pie for me. :P
-
YES!!! Miyabi joined our side. Haha. We win now. :P
-
Ryos don't make me pour Nachos on you!!! also we can fly our flag at the same height as the American flag!!! no other state can do so legally and Texas is bigger than Germany and is the largest state that counts because Alaska is just a hole in the ground for oil rich*whatever derogatory word you like best*
-
So what. I don't see how that makes you better than anyone else.
-
"want pie now!"
"you have pie?"
"me like pie!"
"pie is goooood!"
"mmmmmmm!"
"pie."
"pie. pie. pie. pie. pie. pie. pie."
"PIE!!!"
("ow.")
"when come back bring pie."
[These words brought to you by Weebl. (and Bob).]
-
oh jade... not you too :'(
-
I had a cake doughnut the other day. It was chocolate on chocolate with nuts for sprinkles. Potato flour. Does it count?
Personally I think this thread is good. As long as the Pie States and Cake States are at each other's throats the rest of us (real people) can have our cake and eat pie too. :D
-
Cookie Cake... good cake
-
YEAH JADE!!!!
Wow. 8-4. A crushing defeat.
-
That's another vote for cake so it's not over yet.
CAKE SHALL PREVAIL! Just wait and see.
EDIT: make that another two votes ;D
-
We're catching up! ;D
-
Cake :D
-
GO GO GO we are catching up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Throws cream pie into Shaggy's face* ha ha you just got creamed! :P
-
*shakes head in disgust*
-
Come on cake!!! Keep going up!!!! :D
-
We pulled ahead again. Just in case you hadn't noticed. :)
*halo*
-
Silence!
-
Did…did a CAKE-LOVER just tell a PIE-BELIEVER to DO SOMETHING?! *gasp* This be heresy.
-
Oh yes, a cake lover just told you to shut your trap! What you going to do about it? :P
-

Sorry, Obama has made his support clear on this issue, and he supports pie. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzvTlBXAm-0)
-
WOW. We definitely win this one, now.
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-

I'm sortitus and I approve this message.
-
I like chocolate pie and french silk pie...
But nothing beats a good old-fashioned Coca Cola cake. Nothing.
-
Yeah!! Another cake lover. ;D I wonder which one BS prefers........
-
Well, cake is BS...
-
Wait....what do you mean? ???
-
I mean that I'm using your own words against you! *evil cackle*
-
ooooooo.....your gonna get it. *bastille shoves double chocolate cake in sortitus* ;D
-
W supports pie therefore cake wins

Yeah! You tell 'em Kaz

Hmm…I note that cake-lovers' lack of proper grammar use is amusing.

except that doing that mostly turns up cakes OF Obama, and not Obama eating cake. That and doing a search for g-dub and pie doesn't turn up anything, but cake and him do turn up stuff.
-
Ryos…even so, you shouldn't help the heretics. It's not healthy.
-
We need to get more people to vote. The polls are't doing anything. :-\
-
Ehh. 19 people isn't bad. We need to create awareness, though…hmm. Link it in our signatures, maybe?
(Btw, I like your siggy. Good poem.)
-
2 moar vote 4 caek!!!!!

Blasphemy! He is using the call of lawl for cake's cause! Off with his head.

Off with his head.
Apparently Henry VIII likes pie....Interesting. :P
-
Apparently Henry VIII likes pie....Interesting. :P
Of course he does! Between the ages of 2 and 4 I refused to answer to anything but "The King of England". I also sang the song "I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am" and used the phrase "The King of England doesn't eat/do/clean [var]." Apparently I was just as crazy as a kid as I am now, which is comforting to me for some reason. *shrugs*
I have constructed a Venn diagram detailing a possible source of compromise: Cheesecake.
(http://quidish.googlepages.com/PieCake.png)
In the center of the cake square there you will see the Ocean of Decency. This is where cakes are actually quite delicious. Cakes in this area are of a perfect moisture, and can have a variety of frostings and toppings without getting out of hand with either. If you get far enough toward the corners you get deliciousness as well (Moist - Sweet Cream; Toppings - Flying Solo; Frosting - Caramel, Cotton Candy, etc.; Dryness - Wafers).
Pie has no corners, and so cannot be rated on so simple a scale. If I were to include all 360 degrees of deliciousness the diagram would look too busy and confuse half of the audience. You can assume that the degrees overlapping most centrally the square of cake are toppings, with the very center section made of the fruits. The 7th Circle is the most dangerous area to a pie-lover's palate, containing some of the most busy and evil pies ever made. While few cooks venture here, less return alive.
So, yeah! How about it, cake and pie dudes and dudettes? Cheesecake! It has the name of a cake and the deliciousness of a pie! (Naw, I'm just ribbing you cakers. :P But seriously. :|)
P.S. Has anyone else tried a pecan cheesecake? They are AMAZING!
-
It's probably a good thing that the Wedding never happened....Hayley never would've known what she was getting into...I'm sure she likes her head....on her shoulders.
P.S. Has anyone else tried a pecan cheesecake? They are AMAZING!
My brother and my dad love it. I don't like pecans, so I'm not a fan. My favorite pie is chocolate cream, but I also really like ice cream pies--like strawberry in an oreo crust, with chocolate syrup on top. Delicious.
I voted for cake, though. Yellow cake and chocolate frosting? Mmmm. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Chocolate cream is a good choice, and for the record my favorite cheesecake is cherry. Or is that sherry? Or is that Sherry? ;););)I voted for cake, though. Yellow cake and chocolate frosting? Mmmm. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
There must be some genetic thing that makes it impossible for me to understand why cake lovers love cake. :-\
-
Wherever you go, sortitus, you will always find bountiful supplies of ignorance. As you can see on this thread. *sigh*
-
There's no question about this. A good pie will always be better than a good cake. I'm not saying that there isn't any overlap. There are definitely some cakes that are better than some pies, but when we're talking about the best of the best? Man, no competition. :D

Quite obviously! Welcome to the battle, brother!
(as a side note: I will now start refering to all pie lovers as brother/sister, because it is cool, and makes us sound like we're some kind of cool 'Order of the pie' or something)
-

That's siggy material, that is.
-
We need order to our ranks. How about the following:
High Pie-ministrator (this could be only the leader's title. Also: Fellow Pie Supporters, we need a leader!! Who should has the filling to fit such a crust position?!)
High Knight of the Grand Pie or High Dame of the Grand Pie
Knight of Crust or Dame of Crust
Scribe of the filling
Filling
Crust
Pie initiate
-
Wonderful ideas all. Welcome, Brother Dan.
Hmm. . . .Well, since sortitus started the thread, I think he should be the highest position. . . .How 'bout if you first posted on the 1st page of the thread you get one high position, on the 2nd then you get the next one down, 3rd and you get the next one down, and so on and so on until we reach the page which equals the lowest rank. After that, all posters whose first posts were on pages AFTER that are the lowest level. And sortitus can raise you. OR each time we get a new page, people progress one something like that.

It seems we have a nomination for sortitus, any one else fit for it, fellow pie-monauts? (for fairness sake, i suppose no nominating yourself, otherwise everyone might just pick themselves :P )
edit: Also, i suppose that since having a "leader" won't mean much if we give him some kind of power or something, he gets the power to give custom titles or something, outside of the standard ranks. Anyone oppose this? :P
-
Actually, if you agree with this, say 'I eat pie with sortitus.' :P 'Cause then if all the pro people don't post we won't know if they agree or they just haven't read the thread. :P :P
If you don't, then you should either vote for someone else or nominate someone else.
(Eerongal, should we start a new thread with a poll of candidates or just run it here? And when should the voting close?)
-
Our leader needs a properly regal sounding name. How about His/Her Majesty King/Queen [name], Guardian of Crust and Cream, Master of Desserts. We could give other titles to the other nobles of our kingdom (Dukes and Lords of various toppings). We'll have to have a clear order of succession as well, naturally giving the second in line the title His/Her Royal Highness appended to the start of their name.
Eerongal, you started the discussion of pie on the source thread (I would like to announce!), and the Order was your idea. I propose Eerongal as King for starting this, and LAVGRS as heir apparent for his contributions to the cause.
Let's run the voting elsewhere. We don't want to let this thread get too off topic. I'm feeling a bit too lazy ATM to make it myself....
On topic: Come on, pie supporters! Don't vote without posting! Tell us your what your favorite kind of pie is!
-
I'm making the poll/thread. How many days should I run the poll for?
-
Let's give it a month. That seems a reasonable enough time to get all pie lovers over there. Link your pie-loving friends!
-
Done.

Hehe that was funnn.
-

(Btw, I like your siggy. Good poem.)
Thanks Shaggy/LAVGRS. I think we should all put this in our siggys because then we will have a full "battle".
-
LAVGRS at the mo., Bastille. Tho' I have a feelin' Shaggy's gonna be comin' back real soon.… ;)
-
;D Sorry. That's the name you had when I first started posting and that name sticks in my head!!!! ;D
-
Can I change my vote from cake to Pi (http://members.cox.net/econalc/images/PiCar.png)? :P
-
I don't think you can change your vote once you set it...can you? ???
-
Nope.
-
No, but i think a moderator can remove it so you can revote or something, i think.
-
Or I could reset the poll completely, but that doesn't seem like a good solution somehow.
-
No!!!! :o Don't reset the poll! Cake is finally catching up!!!
-
well when you say Pi is that mathematical pi or pie for eating... which lies saying its both tastier and healthier than cake...
P.S. Strudels Alamode pwns pie.... and it has a cool name like the surge
-
We need more votes!! Cake is only 2 behind!!!
-
Sorry, I know that I said I would wait, but if the 'Pie Believers' are going to start chanting: 'Yes we can!' there is only one way that I can vote.
I like German Chocolate Cake, Yellow cakes and I shall claim Cheese Cake as a cake as well since it has it in the name. :P
-
We've caught up!!! ;D
-
It seems TWG is doomed to be a bipartisan state. Why couldn't we have been a piepartisan state? Why oh why?
;D
-
good now we can stop wasting sugar by throwing it... who wants some italian cream cake with cream cheese icing?
-
Oh! Me! Me!
-
well when you say Pi is that mathematical pi or pie for eating...
Mathematical pi for eating all around!

It tastes like algebra in my mouth, and everyone's invited! (though no one showed up :( )
-
Pie FTW!
-
Cake is good at any temperature, whether cool, warm, or frozen. Pie, on the other hand... you know, there's just something inherently wrong with warm/hot fruit. It's alright if it's cold and smothered in whipped cream, but other than that... :P
-
yay i'm not a minority anymore!!!!
-
And Cake pulls ahead! Yay me!
-
Yay I'm the majority once more!!!!!!! Oppress the former oppressors muhahahaha :P
-
Pie has too much filling for my liking.
Sometimes I feel sick when I eat it.
Cake has it all.
-
And cake really IS in the lead now....yay! Take that pie lovers!
Semi-on topic, there's one kind of pie I will never have again. Key lime....It tasted really good, but let me tell you, it HURTS when it comes out your nose....My family made me laugh, and oh, did it burn. :D
-
Pfft. And I bet you can eat frosting all day and feel fine, huh? Besides, there are some pies that I don't like. You probably have just had all the wrong pies. The actual cake of cake is OK, but it's fairly incompatible with anything but ice cream. Pie, on the other hand, is good with almost anything! Meat! Fruit! Jumping jacks! Cloth! Meteorites! SONAR! Blue! The ability to become invisible! Attorney's fees! Tech support! Luck! Poetry in the dark. *snaps*
-
Pfft. And I bet you can eat frosting all day and feel fine, huh?
Heh. If it's chocolate frosting, totally!

Today I have wrought havoc upon this war.

I resent the fact of cheesecake having it's independent vote if you do that you have to seperate every category of both pie and cake... well thats hogwash the real reason obviously is cake lovers will lose votes;D

Despite its name, cheesecake is a type of pie. Seriously. It's a tart, which is an open-topped pie. Seriously. Look it up. :P
-
It's a custard how is it a pie....because it has something resembling a crust on the bottom? that ridiculous....

American Heritage dictionary:Cake
A sweet baked food made of flour, liquid, eggs, and other ingredients, such as raising agents and flavorings.
Which cheesecake has none of.
American Heritage dictionary:Tart
A pastry shell with shallow sides, no top crust, and any of various fillings.
Which cheesecake is all of.
It's also referenced on wikipedia, apparently, which i've seen you disregard before.
Also, on season 5, episode 7 of good eats, which is about cheesecake, alton brown specifically mentions as part of the history and etymology of cheesecake that it is in fact a pie (specifically, he said it is a custard pie), not mention the part about it actually being a tart, which as i said is a type of pie.
Also, this was in cooking classes I have taken.
-
What if we love cheescake but am not a fan of pies in general nor cakes in general? Thus my Cheesecake vote, though it stands alone!
-
if you put cheesecake as a catergory you have to separate all the categories or you are just being discriminatory... not to mention i don't think a cobbler is technically even a pie so it should be up there along with custards so Reonard can vote for his flan and creme brulle

Your comment would make sense, Kaz, if this was anything but a poll asking "Which is Better?". The possible answers are: Pie, Cake, or Moderator's Privilege.
-
Sortitus you wouldn't make a bad Texan... i'm touched and can give you no better compliment ;D
-
I... don't know what to say. I am honored beyond measure. :)
-
i hope you people are happy with yourselves. I had to go out and get a cheesecake today, because it sounded good. >:(

-
See even with a third party, admittedly a tiny and ineffectual one, it's still a party. Got to keep those partisans off balance so the true desert consumer can be free to choose. :D
-
I have returned from the horrid land of no internet to find that for the first time, cake is in the lead! w00t!

Same here!! I was gone all week and was wondering what the polls were going to be when I got back. I came back to see that cake has finally got it's rightful place at 1st and we have now a new option of cheesecake. Jeez, allot has changed.
-
Same. This is what happens when you try to take a vacation. *sigh*
-
So the Order of Pie is in the process of electing a leader, so I think it's high time the Army of Cake-Lovers gets a general. Someone needs to make a thread so all the true believers can vote on a leader ;D
-
Who do we wage war on now? or should we have a prime minister instead.... or head cake connoisseur and instead of vp first taster
-
We're an army. We need a Head General.
-
To attack who?
-
The Order of Pie. Have you seen the thread title?
-
WE won...cuz my vote counts as a googleplex
-
We still need a leader.
-
apparently, according to google hits, pie beats cake incredibly hardcore (http://www.googlebattle.com/index.php?domain=pie&domain2=cake&submit=Go!)
-
And are we on a google forum? No. ;D
-
Here I'll make the thread but who should i pick to be the "president" of cake. ;) (or if you want another name doesn't matter). Who want to be a runer-up for people to vote you as leader? :)
If anyone doesn't want me to make the thread just say so because i won't mind. ;)
-
Pie for the win... mmm, warm pecan pie :P
-
Just nominate some of the people who have posted for cake on this thread.
-
Okay for nominations I have:
Inquisitor

Me
If anyone doesn't not want to be on this list or feels like they should and aren't just let me know. An if people don't want me on the list because if any reason just let me know as well. ;)
-
hehehhehehehehehe...
it is done!!!! ;D
-
As the Lord of Cake, I am very pleased with the current results. ;D
-
I am a newcomer to this thread, but claim a superior knowledge of the subject as a former pastry chef in a world-class hotel. Cake is fine, but pie requires a vastly greater skill set to do well. The crust must contain some butter, but be flaky with a minimum of ice-water added quickly enough to keep the dough cool. You must knead just enough, not too much, and not too thin. The end result must not be soggy on the bottom, very difficult to achieve (but I have a secret.) The filling must set up, but be devoid of that floury or corn-starchy taste. I have made chocolate mousse-filled cakes, dripping with butter cream and festooned with magnificent edible roses, that would put you cake lovers into rapture, but nothing beats a perfect holiday pie.
-
Hey inquisitor can i be chancelor so i can go beat up pie lovers and get away with it cuz i got a peice of paper signed and sealed by you saying i can?
And who cares which is harder to make (though flaming alaska i have heard is tough) cake still taste better
-
Kaz, dear . . . you would beat up a pie lover who also bakes cakes? This makes no sense at all!
I think I could save myself by placing one of my famous from-scratch German Chocolate cakes between me and you, so I am not terribly concerned. But I think even you would have a hard time resisting a perfect French Silk pie. = ]
-
I've never had french silk pie. It sounds delicious, though...
Man, now I want pie. Chocolate pie. Or something. Anything chocolate really...(Yes, I'm still a lover of cake, but I never said I didn't like pie, I just said that I like cake more and that's just because I like more cakes than I do pie....)
-
Yeah, I had a chocolate pie yogurt and it was yummy!! It would be better if it was a chocolate cake yogurt.
-
wilson, you call me a cake sympathizer yet you do more than sympathize with pie . . . although that is understandable because of pie's natural superiority.
-
Hey, I never said I wasn't a pie sympathizer. You're the one who seems to think it's a terrible thing to be a cake sympathizer. I don't find it bad at all to like multiple kinds of desserts. Makes for an all-around better-tasting life. Especially when one of those desserts is Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked. Mmmm. Even thinking about that delicious goodness packed in a pint-sized carton makes me happy.
-
French Silk Pie:
Toast a bunch of shredded coconut, cool, add melted butter and sugar and pat into a pie crust. (sorry, I never measure) Or pre-bake a Marie Callender's or Pet Ritz pie shell and cool.
Plop some homemade chocolate mousse, flavored with vanilla extract or Grand Marnier, into pie shell and top with freshly whipped heavy cream. Shave dark baker's chocolate all over the top and chill a few hours. It's so good it's almost a cake!
-
Cheesecake is indeed a cake!!!!!!!!! unless you get the frozen ones at the market and that's just a custard in a graham cracker crust.... i spoke with my father on this (and he was an executive chef at a 3 out of 4 star restaurant before practising law) and he says that new york style cheesecake AND all other cheesecakes that are restaurant quality or better have eggs and generally have milk (and there is always a dairy product) not to mention they rise when you bake them...ha in your face whoever corrected me like 2 weeks ago... this is to late but ha anyways :P

sorry, but i believe my sources are a bit more reputable than your "dad saying so".
To repeat them, the new english oxford dictionary, wikipedia, a publicly broadcast tv show that covers the etymology of foods with food historians (they do exist), and my own personal experience with cooking classes. I'm sorry to say but those both out number, and generally out qualify your dad. :)
Also: Having eggs and milk doesn't change the fact that it still fills the tart description: "A pastry shell with shallow sides, no top crust, and any of various fillings."
-
If it is neither cake nor pie, then it has no place in this thread! Begone from my sight, cheesecake!
-

that's a terrible thing to say to cheesecake. Regardless of what it's denomination, it is a dessert to be reckoned with.
-
Cheesecake is kind of like fungus, kind of a plant, kind of an animal but unlike either, right?
Cheesecake will be served in heaven, of that I am sure, no matter what it really is. Cheesecake is a universe unto itself.
-
Cheesecake is kind of like fungus...
Cheesecake grows on rotting carcasses? I think it's time to switch to carrion dinners!!
-
when on earth did a TV broadcast become more reputable than a top notch chef? that's like saying the histry channel is better than a historian...and eerongal a few classes don't impress me considering i know 4 people well that have culinary degrees
-

Only bleu cheese cake. Yuk.

the show includes CULINARY HISTORIANS AND ETYMOLOGISTS. Not chefs. You are basically saying with the above post that a history teacher is more reputable than a historian. A top notch chef doesn't care about the history and etymology, whereas these peoples sole jobs are to do that.
And if we're gonna play THAT mud slining game, which means nothing at all in any debate, I have well over 20 people in my direct family that have culinary degrees, so your 4 culinary degrees don't impress me (the reason why i don't bring it up, is because it's a moot point, the same as you bringing it up, it means nothing in a debate :) )
-
This isn't really an argument this is a fight because neither side really cares to listen to the other therefore i suggest we drop it and please do so and not respond to this post
-
I disagree. E-man listened to your rebuttal, and replied to it accordingly.
-
Make pie, not war. :-*
-
Make pie, not war. :-*
Good answer! :D
-
Really, really, really gonna make a Bing cherry pie this week. problem: cherries are so good this year, we keep eating them. Oh well, better health-wise.
-
Just thought I'd throw this in here. Cake rules!
-
Lol Inquisitor. I think you've made your opinion on the pie versus cake thing verrry clear.
-
I was just letting people know that even in Europe, I can still support cake.
-
Europe? Sweet! Cake in Europe...even better! ;D
-
Being better than terrible isn't that hard. . . .
-
I actually had the best cake I have ever tasted in my entire life in England. Chester, to be exact. My gosh, it was fantastic. Chocolate and it had a bunch of different kinds of chocolate chunks cooked into it. And it wasn't too rich either, like some of the cakes here in the States can get....It was just...perfect. Seriously.

really? your making me want cake even more now!
-
My favorite cake was here in the States. Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Lil' piece o' heaven.
-
My favorite cake in the States is at Chili's. The Chocolate Molten. It's delicious. Similar to your lava cake, Shaggy.
Although I think my favorite dessert in the States has got to be at a local place here in Rexburg. Craigo's. It's called the cookie monster, and it's this huge cookie--really thick--fresh out of the oven so it's warm and gooey, and it's covered with vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream and chocolate and caramel syrup...It's so freaking good.
-
Yeah sounds like it. The best part is the hot melted chocolate with the cold ice cream. :o :o Deliciousss.
-
Oh yes. Fantastic...Dang it. Now I want one of those....Only I really can't have it because I already ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's today. Argh.
Oh well. Can't really complain. Half-Baked beats the cookie monster any day. Seriously, nothing beats chocolate and vanilla ice cream with cookie dough and fudge brownie bits mixed in. Ah. Scrum-diddly-freaking-umptious.
-

Except Moosetracks.
-
Oh, Moosetracks is good, but....doesn't beat Half-Baked. EMT (Extreme Moose Tracks) doesn't even beat it....Brownie Moose Tracks is ALSO really good, but it also doesn't come close..
-

Yesterday I had nothing but icecream, no lie! We had a sleep over at my neiboors house and as sson as we got over there we went and got icecream (I got Moosetracks! ;)) Then later right before dinner we went to the store and bought a pack of oreos and 3 tubs of icecream. I felt so sick afterwards!!
-
Wow I would've thrown up after that. . . . Probs before, actually ha ha.
-
Yeah, that can't be good for you. But it was probably fun, right? Up until the feeling sick part, anyway.....
-
Wait how many kdis were there? 'Cause I hope it wasn't just you and your neighbor. . . .
-
I've seen worse. I have a friend who ate a 1 gallon bucket of ice cream by himself. While drinking a bunch of milk. That didn't work well for him.
-
Andrew, I forget. What is your allegiance, cake or pie?
-
Cake. Most definitely cake.
-
Good, then we can still be friends :D
-
Glad to hear it! It would be tragic if you were a pie lover and I was obligated to hate you.
-
Wait how many kdis were there? 'Cause I hope it wasn't just you and your neighbor. . . .
Nah there were 5 of us eating the icecream. 8)
-
Glad to hear it! It would be tragic if you were a pie lover and I was obligated to hate you.
I'm a proud cake supporter.
One of us should write up a large rant on why cake is better :D
-
I think if you really want long, you should do it, Chaos....
Plus, I'd like to see a Chaos-rant on why cake is better....classic.
-
It's been a while since I've done a rant on cake, but I have done one before.
Perhaps it should be ChaosRant™.
-
Oh, come on, little wilson, you don't think I can prepare a good long rant? The only reason Chaos always has longer rants than me is that he gets off topic and includes other things in his rants.
It also depends on what you define as really long. I think anything above 1500 words is epic for a forum post. If you want a 20000 word essay, that's a little bit different.
Chaos, if you want to write it I'll write up a list tomorrow of all the reasons I can think of that cake is better, and send them to you. Or, I could do it, though I would appreciate your list of reasons if I do so. Between the two of us, we should be able to come with a rather extensive rant on the subject.
-
Together, we shall be unstoppable!
You should write the list. I have a cold and numerous headaches, so I'm not really in the mood to think up a big list. Hey, the headaches will just add to the "hazy thinking" that makes a ChaosRant™ so desired ;)
-
I'm sorry, Andrew. But Chaos' ChaosRant™s just stand out more....And he's not too tangential (I love this word, by the way...).
And I look forward to reading it. Maybe so much thinking of the goodness of cake will make the headaches disappear....
-

Note to self: claim that cake is a cure-all. That'll win the people over!
-
I'm sorry, Andrew. But Chaos' ChaosRant™s just stand out more....
I won't deny that. He's typically more groundbreaking with his rants/crazy theories than I am. Usually what happens is something like this.
1) Chaos sits at his computer reading posts from TWG
2) Chaos decides it is time for a good ChaosRant™
3) Chaos types extensively on a subject, listing various thoughts without ever really taking an opinion
4) Chaos begins taking opinions on the subject and adds them to the ChaosRant™
5) Chaos posts an epic-length ChaosRant™ to TWG for all of us to read and wonder at. We all read it and wonder at it. Then we read it again and wonder what exactly Chaos was thinking. Section 22x can't be correct, and section 398b contradicts a statement from Brandon.
6) Andrew decides to do and epic-reply to the ChaosRant™
7) Andrew steals most of Chaos' ideas, shuffles them around a little bit, organizes them into a theory that works, and posts it
8) Everyone reads it and says, "Hey, that works! I love/hate it!"
9) Andrew takes credit for stealing ideas and putting them in a great big post. ;D
Oh, and there are other reasons his rants tend to stand out more. Like the fact that he's actually able to attempt to convey drama through text, which I haven't yet really attempted. Like the fact that his rants have a trademarked name, whilst mine are just epic p0sts...... You get the picture. If we could call my rants anything as exciting as ChaosRant™ then it might be another story. For now..... Yes.
Chaos, I'll send you a list in a bit. Right now, I have to go to a piano lesson.
EDIT: And I have yet again forgotten that 8 + ) = 8) . You'd think I'd learn to use a different numbering system....
-
Everyone knows Andrew is just copying me.
-
That's not very nice, especially when directed at the person who's supposedly helping to fuel your upcoming ChaosRant™...
-
I'm kidding, of course. :P
I convey drama in my posts? Neat. I certainly never thought of that before.
-
You did in your last one anyway. I just sent you the list, so you can officially post your rant when you get it done.
-

Well, maybe in the first paragraph I had some drama. The rest is just incoherent rambling. ::)
And I'm starting the ChaosRant™ right now.
EDIT: I estimate its completion tomorrow or Friday. I should probably do something with my short story today...
-
Space Text Opera time!
Which gets me thinking. Why don't we just append "Opera" to any genre to signify epicness? Steam(/Cyber) Opera. Sword and Opera (should that be Opera and Sorcery?). Urban Opera. I foresee problems with this, but we should run with it like it's a stolen croissant.
Which makes me think of other French baked goods. Notably eclairs and the excellent pie that was lent the name.
-
we should run with it like it's a stolen croissant.
That's actually pretty clever. Definitely got a chuckle out of me...And speaking of French baked goods, I miss Pain au Chocolat's...They were delicious.
-
The rant is going on a short hiatus. Short stories take precedence!
-
Once upon a time there was a nice bloke called Chaos. On one fine day, he decided to rant. He didn't actually get to ranting because he met an evil lady named Order. She locked him in a tower and made him write short stories until his brains self-cooked. The end.
-
Wow. That's a pleasant story....I particularly like the vivid imagery of the self-cooked brains... :o
And he's not the only one stuck on short stories. I am too....Stupid things. I think I spent so much time editing my first short this week, that when I turned to the second today, it just didn't fly. My brain hit a wall. It was fun....Not. I'm now convinced that my brains self-cooked. Temporarily. Maybe...They're all better now though. :P
-
Zombies love the self-cooking style of brains!
-

-
dude. 60 gbp? What, you think zombies are made of silver or something?
-
Naw, not pounds sterling. Zombie currency has to be something creepier than that. Unfortunately, I have no "pounds human flesh" button on my keyboard, so I had to make do. The question is, how do they carry it around?
-
ᴥ looks kind of like blood draining out of an organ. If you use your imagination.
-
I like ice cream...and right now it is so refreshing
-
Looks like a flower too.
-
Looks like a mini South Park character to me.
-
I had a very good cake last week, but it just didn't measure up with the Nu-freaking-tella and Cherry cheesecake I just had.
-
I had the most amazing chocolate shake of my life last night. Too bad there was no cake to go along with it :'(
-
I had some Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream today. It was really good..mixed with chocolate. Mmm.
-
Ok which evil little midget pirate tipped the scale....yes pie eaters are all short AND pirates!!!! :P
-
You really shouldn't generalize like that. What happens if there's a short pirate cake-lover? Will you call them a heretic?
-
No, we would call them family. The pirate pie lovers, on the other hand, would be the bad kind of pirate.
-
and we would give them stilts... wouldn't want the truth known and all
-
Jeez! We aren't "Pirate Pie Lovers" or any kind of pirate at all. Your simple pirate minds are fragile, so I'll try to break this to you slowly. Pie lovers do not dress like pirates. We wear stealthy black suits or clever disguises. We kill silently. We are not constantly drunk. We do not smell of poo. We are ninja.
-
No your not....you had a bristish accent at last years Christmas party....Brits can't be ninja only pirates

LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hey, you can proceed. All that sign is saying is that you're likely to be drop-kicked into a pot of boiling tea by a British ninja if you do.
-
No, all that sign says is that if there's a British "Ninja" around, you're likely in danger. You see, they'll try to do something cool and ninja-ish and will end up seriously injuring themselves and anyone within 20 ft. Anyone within 50 ft will die of trauma at having their opinion of ninjas so thoroughly obliterated.
-
You have obviously never read Dr. McNinja. ;)
-
Umm.... your right?
Seriously, I don't need to read it though. Everyone knows that no British person could possibly pull of the necessary skills to be a ninja.... although a few might come close. But they know better than to earn the wrath of real ninjas by claiming the title when they haven't earned it.
-
It is my right, and I will defend it to the death!
So, you're going to pull out your anti-European sentiment now, are you? Such bigotry shall not be tolerated here, sir, and I resent your insinuation that I do not have the genetics necessary to perform incredible feats of concealment and murder.
Have you no respect for your British forefathers, who risked their lives to sail to this continent on the Ninja, the Pinto, and the Santa Marina? No human not present on those ships saw those who sailed on them for months! Some were not seen by others for years! That should be all the proof you need. Need I insult your manhood? Need I?
Good lord! The residents of this house go through boxes of cookies like an angry rhinoceros goes through a grass hut! My baking hand is going to send me an emergency fatigue warning if this keeps up!
-
I don't have english blood what so ever so yes i am insulting YOUR genetics...
(i'm cherokee, crow, predominantly german, & scott-irish and i have my geneology recorded)
-
You're also insulting mine. I don't appreciate that. The British are cool. British Ninjas, however, are not, because they are certifiably false.
sort, you're just trying to change history now, aren't you? Changing history and names of ships won't help you convince us British Ninjas are true. It just lets us know that you think you live in some alternate universe...Or something. In this universe, it's the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
-
scott-irish
Yeah, Scotland and Ireland are totally not in the British Isles.You're also insulting mine. I don't appreciate that. The British are cool. British Ninjas, however, are not, because they are certifiably false.
British ninjas are the best of the best. This is why you don't ever see them. Don't mistake the random British people you see wearing ninja suits for ninjas. In Japan, they'll call you a ninja if you have the suit and proper wait-our-turn villain etiquette. Oh, and you have to be enrolled in a martial arts school. In Britain, you have to earn that suit. Ray Park has mad martial arts skills and is still not a Brinja. Yeah. They're that hardcore.sort, you're just trying to change history now, aren't you? Changing history and names of ships won't help you convince us British Ninjas are true. It just lets us know that you think you live in some alternate universe...Or something. In this universe, it's the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Oh, I'm sorry, miss history. I won't challenge your worldview with little-known facts about America's colonization. Though I will admit to making a mistake on one of the names. It's "Pinata", not "Pinto". It would be totally silly to name a ship after a bean or a poorly designed automobile.
-
To give Kaz credit, he never did say British. He said English....So I guess if you don't have English blood, he's not even insulting your genetics. He's still insulting mine though, which is sad, because I, like him, am a cake supporter, and cake supporters should stick together....
Whoa, the Brinja's haven't even accepted Darth Maul into their ranks? Exclusive bunch....Or maybe they just don't like people who've fried themselves in half....I may be able to accept their existence if Ewan McGregor is one of them...Maybe.
Ah. Pinata. I wish you hadn't messed up. I didn't believe you the first time because I couldn't believe they'd name a ship the Pinto....But Pinata makes much more sense. What were those little-known facts you were talking about?
-

Of course, it's difficult to say who's English. Just Saxons?I may be able to accept their existence if Ewan McGregor is one of them...Maybe.
If Ewan McGregor is a Brinja, he has truly mastered the skill of hiding skill. Hensojutsujutsu, as it is called by the Brinja clans.Ah. Pinata. I wish you hadn't messed up. I didn't believe you the first time because I couldn't believe they'd name a ship the Pinto....But Pinata makes much more sense. What were those little-known facts you were talking about?
Oh, the fact that these ships were British, and their actual names. Stop the Spanish propaganda!
-
Well I'm mostly Danish and English, so I'm insulting my own forefathers, yes. They'll get over it.
Seriously, I'm much more inclined to believe that the so-called "Brinjas" are non-existent. Honestly, with no major achievements and no one knowing about them, except apparently sortitus, I refuse to believe they are more than a bunch of wanna-be ninjas. I would have made wanna-be plural, but I have no idea how you do that. Wanna-bes? That just looks weird. Hmmm... I shall have to ponder on this. Maybe ask a REAL ninja.
-

In that example, wannabe was an adjective. Perhaps you're looking for "ninja wannabes"?Maybe ask a REAL ninja.
Good luck finding one. Like quicksilver they are, and nigh impossible to detect in the first place.
On reflection, Ray Park could be a deep-cover Brinja. You know, a Brinja pretending to be a guy who acts like a Brinja but isn't, but actually is one. Those Brinjas are way clever.
Semi-related: my nephew calls Asian pears "ninja pears". It's super-cute, especially since he doesn't say "ninja" right (inja pears :D). My sister got him addicted to them by telling him that they helped me get my ninja skills. Also, I teach him and his little sister how to jump off high things safely and kiai. Good times.
-
i was only insulting your fore fathers if they were brinjas
