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

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

And how is this like a pie pray tell?

1) Use of a vegetable/fruit/nuts as an integral part of the whole, not just a topping.

2) Cream cheese icing, that is reminiscent of Cheesecake pie.

It is a cake, but it has pie qualities that make it transcend cake and nearly elevate itself to pie status... but not quite.

And there is no need to cram it into a pirate ship mold to make it more attractive to children...

[Teuthida]

So by your "logic" something is pie-like because it contains a vegetable/fruit/nuts and cream cheese?

You know what else is like pie then? Ice cream. Also, fruit salad. Ooh, trailmix. All those nuts. When one eats pea soup or has a bagel, one should immediately think of pie.

Vegetable cream cheese on a bagel. Can't get more pie than that! No.

You have no argument.

Even if you disagree with me on this, what does it have to do with the pie vs. cake disagreement? Trying to distract us from the insane illogical meanderings of you and your fellow cake-people?

On a whim I typed "define cake" into Google.

a block of solid substance (such as soap or wax); "a bar of chocolate"

All pies are in fact cake.

Is this how desperate you cake-boyz are? You have to look to definitions beyond culinary in a flailing attempt at validity? Even in that you fail.

Pie is by no means solid, but instead most are SUSPENSION of solids in a semi-viscous LIQUID.



See how is almost falls apart and the delicious juices and sweet decadent sauce spill onto the plate. This sir, is no mere cake.

Meanwhile, as stated in your quote, cake is in in fact "soap or wax"

Delicious? I think not.

How didn't his reply have to do with the cake vs pie argument?

You mentioned how carrot cake is more like a pie based on several criteria so he took your argument to the logical and extreme end to prove the fallacy in it.

If the only requirement to be a pie was that it had fruit/veggies or whatever and cream cheese, then reason would be that other things with those qualities could also be considered pie or pie like. Since they aren't it disputes your claims about carrot cake being pie like.

Anyhow, I still think cake win for variety and aesthetics. Pies are nice, but they aren't really that special.

Cake is iconic.

And yet your favorite pie, cheesecake, does not follow those conventions at all. Cheesecake is more of a solid than most other cakes.

[Teuthida]

Stated was the best.

In my experience cheesecake is best when it has some moisture and is not dried out and solid. I hate dry cheesecake. Cheesecake is a pie that hasn't come out of the closet yet:

Has a crust - check
Has a gooey filling placed on top of the crust - check
Often is covered with fruits or contains other typical pie elements (cherry, strawberry, blueberry) - check
Often has whipped cream placed on top - check

Additionally, the filling in cheesecake is not made conventional cake-style, it is baked more along the lines of pie filling.
