Pie VS Cake: The Official Thread

[sortitus]

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*

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.

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!

[Patriotic Kaz]

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

[sortitus]

I... don't know what to say. I am honored beyond measure.

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.

I have returned from the horrid land of no internet to find that for the first time, cake is in the lead! w00t!
