Pie vs. Cake v2.0

[Aemilius Paulus]

The whole thing is pretty rediculous, comparing a meal to a dessert is just silly. The dessert will almost always taste better, but the meal will be far more satisfying. If you ate enough cake to fill you up like you would with a pie, then you would feel sick and if you only ate a single slice of pie like you would with a cake, then you would be left feeling hungry.

If I could only chose one or the other then I would definitely go with the pie since then I would get a full satisfying meal instead of just a few delicious bites.

Remember that in America the word "pie" means strictly dessert dish. If a pie is not a dessert pie, then it is a "meatpie" (if it has meat that is). Hooah's comparison is perfectly reasonable in the US. But even the American pies (and any dessert pie for that matter) are still more wholesome and satisfying than cake, almost like a main dish, despite the fact they are sweet.

I need to lose at least 4 kilo and somebody has the nerve to make this thread.

Now I want chocolate pie, or a good pizza quatro formaggi!

Curses!

Just to throw in, post=argument...

This is actually the reason I love pie: you could serve a European-style Meat pie as dinner, and follow it up with an American-style fruit pie. Hell, you could make a pie for just about every part of the day.

Cake? What is it, aside from a nasty combination of over-sweet slabs of bread and a few obligatory toppings, which themselves are far too sweet as well?
