pie vs cake

[Hooahguy]

so, which is better- pie, or cake?

for me, i like pie.....
pizza pie, apple pie, lemon-meringue pie, rhubarb pie, and the list goes on....
cake cant compare!

[Rhyfelwyr]

Pie in the US seems to mean something completely different to what it is in the UK.

Give me a steak & gravy pie over a piece of sponge anyday!

[Hepcat]

I think I prefer a good mince and cheese pie over a cake.

[Ethelred Unread]

Got to be Pie.

Especially football half time "dogmeat" pies.

Not sure I'd like pizza pie, wtf is that?

[Hooahguy]

a pizza pie? as in 18" of pizza goodness in diameter (in most pizza parlors)?

[Ethelred Unread]

Got it: Pizza (also called pizza pie in the USA)

I remember an Alton Brown show where they talked about all of the foods that are technically pies that most people don't think of. Pizza was one of them if I recall.

I have to go with pie. Cherry pies, meat pies, chicken pot pies....

wait so in the US they call pizza ,"pie"?:inquisitive:

pie for me! , em wait... cheesecake is pie or cake? :huh:

[seireikhaan]

wait so in the US they call pizza as "pie"?:inquisitive:
Not really. Some call it a "pizza pie", but most just call it pizza.

[caravel]

A pizza is a flat bread with a topping and not a pie.

[Hooahguy]

but its till called a "pie", qualifying it for "pie" status...

[Togakure]

I have a weakness for sweets, the women in my family being experts on such things. If I had to choose, I'd have to say pie. Chocolate Dream, Boston Creme, Apple, Pumpkin, Rhubarb, Banana Creme, Lemon Meringue, Blackberry, Huckleberry, Pecan .... yum, yum, yum.

[CountArach]

Didn't we have this poll like a week ago?

Pie because you can have it savoury.

[Ferret]

3.14 :yes:

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Stole this thread off of me! :clown:

[Moros]

[spmetla]

Let me eat cake!

[Mikeus Caesar]

A nice meat pie is always good.

A pizza is a 2 dimensional object. A pizza pie is like a deep pan pizza but with a filling. Originally pizzas were more pie-like but modern pizzas are much easier to make.

[yesdachi]

I like both, desert pie (blueberry, pecan, pumpkin, etc.) with loads of whip topping or a dinner pie (like a Pasty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_pasty), filled with meats) with a complimentary gravy all over it. :chef:

[Hosakawa Tito]

I'll have a slice of Pecan pie, please. with a wedge of chocolate cake on the side.

[Martok]

Well if we're talking dessert, then definitely cake. :yes:



I'll have a slice of Pecan pie, please.
Blech! Just the thought of that honestly makes me want to hurl. (I generally love nuts, but I really really really hate pecans.) :sick:

[Ferret]

I generally love nuts

You're lucky ATPG doesn't frequent the frontroom :laugh4:

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I'd have to say pie, unless, of course, my mother or grandmother bake the cake. In which case, cake wins.

[Ferret]

I'd have to say pie, unless, of course, my mother or grandmother bake the cake. In which case, no contest.

Are they really that bad at baking? :clown:

Excellent, more for me! ~;p

hehe

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Are they really that bad at baking? :clown:

:laugh4:

No, I meant quite the opposite. If they do the baking, the cake is better. ~;)

[Reverend Joe]

I shall reaffirm my previous position. A pie is a work of art, containing a great range of ingredients; it can be a dinner piece, a dessert, even a breakfast if you count Quiche (not in Europe, but it would work in America, where eggs are a breakfast staple.) A cake is a pile of nasty sweet bread with grotesque cloying frosting on top.

[Thermal]

leave cake alone! you'll drive it to suicide you! ill have you killed, killed i tells ya....

[cmacq]

He means that in a nice way.

In communist Russia, pies eat you!

[caravel]

I beg to differ. It's not called a pie in Italy so it's not a pie. Also just because something has a misnomer, and a lot of foods fall into that category, does not mean it should fall into that class.

:deal2:

[JR-]

always pie. meat pie!

[MerlinusCDXX]

Definitely pie (dessert,the good ol' Caribbean meat pie, some classic Brit versions, etc.)
seems a much more versatile item than cake.

[Hooahguy]

well, it seems as if pie wins.....
pi3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
