See though, if it was pie, you would have died at the end of portal.

Because even if the pie was a lie, you would have tried to get some anyway.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Fuck that noise.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

And that is the ultimate sign that pie has won.


A cake supporter whole heartedly giving up the argument

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Its not giving up. Hes telling me what i would do in a situation, witch couldnt be further from the truth. Hes fabricating lies. Pie people do that, in order to tell themselves pie is good. which makes me think that all pie enthusiasts are masochists.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Plus no pie aficionados have addressed this:


I happened to make custard pie yesterday. But I didn't use any crust. So it wasn't a pie. Just an awesome bowl of custard. Which could have only possibly been better if I had some cake with it.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

I wonder which one is healthier, cake or pie. I don't like cake all that much, because it tastes too sweet and fat. At least with pie you often get some fruit inside your stomach.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

In the order of desserts of win it goes like this from Greatest to worst (Greatest starting at the top):

Pies
Brownies (Which are almost cake, but not quite)
Cookies
Gelato
Ice Cream
Sorbet
Sherbet
Candy
Various sweet Breads
Carrot Cake
Cake

That's how terrible cake is.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Could you have a more lazy foodstuff? Hot fruit thrown into some crust.

And you can't bring carrot cake into this without your black sheep: Rhubarb pie.

Heat this up and plop it in some crust. There's your pie.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

we used to grow rhubarb in our garden. I haven't eaten it in 15 years...

Re: What is Game Play?
 

For the longest time I thought it was called Rebar pie, so I was confused why anyone would want to eat it.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Teuth, Rhubarb pie is delicious, and just another example of pie's versatility, and respect of function (taste) above form (awful, disgusting chemicals, stabilizers, leavening agents, colorants, fondant icing a.k.a. edible plastic).



And just to show you what an ignorant slut you are, you do not put the entire plant into the pie. Only the lovely, colorful, and delicious stalk. The leaf is actually deadly poison, making rhubarb pie more BAD-ASS. Its the pie version of Fugu.

So not only is pie tastier, more versatile, and purer than cake, it could also kick cake's ass in a cage match.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Your tastebuds must have been rendered retarded from the decades of being pied in your cakehole.

I've had rhubarb pie. Hell, I've made it a number of times. You need to drown it with sugar to get any sort of satisfaction. Make a pie with pigeon crap and you'd need less sugar to reach the same level of enjoyment.

That's right, I bake. Given your expectations of what's in cake, you've obviously never had anything that wasn't from a mix or store bought.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Sir, I had a PA dutch grandmother who made a chocolate fudge cake that would make you cry... until you had her apple pie.

The reason why you don't like pie is that you can't bake. HAVE AT YOU!

Re: What is Game Play?
 

So her cake made you cry? Then I can only assume the apple pie was used as an emetic to make room for more of the cake no doubt filled with a cocktail of drugs to swing your mood so wildly that you're reduced to blubbering pool of chocolatey tears.

I can bake alright. But I don't consider making pie, baking. A blind overworked paraplegic circus seal could make a pie using only its mutant prehensile foreskin. You can't make a cake willy nilly like you can with a pie. Cake requires precise calculations. To bake a cake you need to be both a scientist and a student of the mystic dessert arts.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

I said it would make YOU cry. The remainder of your reply is moot.

Scientist? Its the scientific equivalent of making a baking soda and vinegar volcano. Can you read? Then you can make a cake. There is no art in the baking, only the decorating. The COVER-UP.

And the last time I checked they sold cake mixes out of boxes with fake names like Betty Crocker. Gee, that sounds impossible. Where is the pie box? Hmmm? Oh yeah, that's because pie isn't simply the task of mixes A with B and baking. It requires fresh ingredients. Crust must be cut-in correctly, with just the right mix of shortening and butter, then CHILLED before baking for maximum flakiness.

The is no step by step, oz by oz instructions for pie. It is the confluence of the culinary arts. Cake is a math problem, and they give you the answer on the side of the test.

Have your cake, and languish in your inequity. I'll have my pie and relish in nirvana.

For the record, you lost this argument after Cheesecake was revealed to be custard pie. Just an objective analysis of events.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

And you can be an illiterate dunce to make pie. What exactly is the point you're trying to make?

You can buy pre-made pie crust. Most recipes call for it. Chop up some apples. And bake until whenever. Durrrr, that was hard. Good thing no reading was required.

Again with the cake from a box? By that logic you can find pie in a vending machine:



Talk about artificial ingredients...

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Those are not pies. They are called "pasties", a variation on pie, once again showing off its versatility. Pie made cheap and accessible to the masses. Pie trumps cake in socioeconomic realms as well as taste.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty

Pie is so good it necessitated spin-offs.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Pie is the crust. If you don't make the crust, you haven't made a pie. Cake mix is cake mix, whether together in a box or in separate parts and you have to put it together yourself.

There is no art to it. Pie requires a deft hand, that is why most recipes assume you don't have the skill to build it yourself.

Cake? Toss it in a bowl and mix. Bake. Pancakes take more skill.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

You're grasping at straws. How can you talk about art and skill?



Starry Nighted your ass.

And who knows what the make up of that is. Could be anything. Whereas with pie you have this:



Except just change the fruit for variation. Yawn.

And I like how you're playing the name game. Cheesecake is called cake but is really pie but then Hostess pies aren't really pies but pasties. Picking and choosing what's what instead of going by what it's called.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

And it made me throw up in my mouth a little. The art I speak of is what takes place in your mouth, not in icing that probably tastes like lighter fluid.


Simple, yet refined. The purity of the art form. Your cake is porn. Pie is a film by Truffaut.

I'm not the one playing games. I said pasties are a variation of a pie. Cheesecake has nothing in common with a cake. NOTHING. It doesn't have leavening, nor FLOUR. It is a custard sitting on a crust. Hence: PIE.

You don't have to believe me. Ask Alton Brown from the Food Network.

THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR CAKE IS A PIE. GAME. SET. MATCH.

Good day to you, sir. Good day.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Fallacy: Argument from authority....and an Elvis impersonator.

And yet the most popular pie isn't cheesecake for when one asks another what sort of pie they would like, they answer with a singular noun of the preferred filling which is expected to be followed by the suffix of "pie". Thus no one will ever respond with: "cheese" when asked.

And on the whole matter of what makes pie, pie, please refer back to my hamburger/bread analogy. Wouldn't custard on cake be far superior to a thin piece of almost non existent crunchy blahness which is merely there to keep your plate just a tad less messy? The answer is a resounding: Yes, yes it would.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

The greatest desert in the world is a cake:

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Funny, I thought someone who is an authority on food, and illustrates the SCIENTIFIC difference between cake and pie, would hold weight...

Now who is playing word games again?

I stand by argument, that will now be known to posterity as "The Cheesecake Revelation".

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Your personal opinion on Tiramisu is apreciated, but inconsequential. Cheesecake is by far the most loved cake in the world. And it is a pie.

As for Tiramisu itself:

Tiramisu is a TRIFLE, not a cake, and it is made from layering components, and the only baked good involved are Lady Fingers which are best described as cookies or biscuits. It doesn't even have icing, but custard or pastry cream, which is what is used in Trifles.

Even the Wiki for for Tiramisu describes it as a Trifle.

DO YOU CAKE PEOPLE EVEN KNOW WHAT CAKE IS?

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Lady fingers are sponge cakes - the rest of tiramisu is basically just icing. Saying that a cake isn't cake because it has custard on it is like saying a pie can't be a pie because it has apples in it. :mischief:

Re: What is Game Play?
 

He knew he was on shaky ground so he had an Elvis impersonator do it for him. Plus "Brown says that he was a poor science student in high school and college..."

And now it also appears that you're basing your entire argument on one type of pie that isn't even called pie.

I'll just leave this here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cakes

Look at all those glorious cakes.



Now let's take a look at all those...um....crusty meats....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pies

Re: What is Game Play?
 

According to the Tirimisu Wiki they are in fact biscuits, the European name for cookies.

And NO, custard is not icing and it is not comprable to apples in an apple pie.

It is a trifle. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

Teuth, you argument against Alton Brown is absurd, and a tacit admission of failure. Since the argument has reduced to absurdities and deliberate lies, I will leave it.

The best cake is a pie.

Good day. Enjoy your pie.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Enjoy your cheesecake. The only decent pie. Don't get bored now.

That line you are quoting from wikipedia is immediately preceded by this line:

Re: What is Game Play?
 

To separate the ignorant from the informed...

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Histo...s/Tiramisu.htm

And before you say it: Yes, a Tiramisu can have sponge cake in it, but that does NOT make it cake, just as a ham sandwich is NOT a ham. Hell, this even proves my point further. They have to use custard and booze to make cake more appealing...

Re: What is Game Play?
 

If we are requiring the dessert to be reduced down to it's distinguishing component in order to be labeled that type of dessert, then cake would become plain cake (sweet, but no extra flavors), and pie would just become crust.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Wow you Cake kids are really reaching these days.

Too bad Prof is da best at Pie arguments.

Someday cake kids, someday perhaps a cake will come along to save you from tasting terrible. Carrot cake was a good shot. So maybe.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

We've got a ton of great tasting stuff on our side, you have cheesecake....

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Cake is even better on the small scale. Tarts blow chunks. Cupcakes for life.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Lol red velvet cake is terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Also Pie would never dry out and get yucky like cake. Nasty fucking cake.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

Yes, fruit neeevvvveeeerrrr goes bad. :rolleyes: And pie crust is always minutes away from turning soggy or becoming teethbreakingly hard.

Red Velvet is awesome, just proves your tastebuds are screwed.

Carrot cake is very good, but only because it has many pie-like qualities.

Re: What is Game Play?
 

And how is this like a pie pray tell?
