    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!

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

    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....

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

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

    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.

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