Pie or Cake?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Pie is death.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I will never make or eat pie again.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Seriously, I can't believe you guys are even talking about it, how insensitive.

[Triple Zero]

Yes.

in another effort to demonstrate cake's superiority, I made this quiche lorraine, which is a CAKE and awesome:



except I used smoked tofu instead of bacon because my girlfriend has vegetarianitis. it's sad.

[Triple Zero]

better view when sliced in half:



I am eating it right now, it's pretty good. Smoked tofu is pretty much the only tofu I ever eat, cause it actually has flavour, very nice flavour, even.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I want that goddamn quiche. Now. Give it! put in my mouth!

[Triple Zero]

it was pretty easy to make, actually.

- just mix up some flour, oil and water using a mixer with dough-spirals,
- then kneed until it is properly dough-y
- kneed it into something round and flat
- put it into a buttered and flour-ed cake form, using a knife and fingers to give it a proper shape
- "blind bake" it, which means you fill it with dried beans to keep its shape and put it in the oven [i found out i had no dried beans and dried lentils seemed like a bad idea, fortunately I found a cooking pot that had about the right shape to prop it up and that worked as well]

while that is doing its thing

- chop up some onions and some bacon [or smoked tofu], and start frying that
- chop up or grate some cheese
- mix eggs, cream, salt, pepper, teaspoon of mustard
- sprinkle onions, bacon and cheese into half-baked crust
- pour egg cream mixture into crust
- bake until it's done, which was about 45 minutes, or until you can insert a knife into it and it comes out dry

- let it rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving

- take pics

look. waffle on about cake all you like, but pie's are superior in every way. more nutrition, maximum portability, better for you, and DONT GIVE YOU AIDS LIKE CAKE DOES!@!!

Cake is clearly superior. It's easier to slice and serve up! It is the celebratory staple. There ain't no Wedding Pie. And I've never seen a cake get fucked by anybody; clearly pie here is the primary culprit in the STD transmission department. Plus, you can write nifty messages on cake. Can you do that with pie? I think not. Plus, Cake's got it's own band, dontcha know?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Cake has never broken anyone's heart.

[East Coast Hustle]

objectively, that's hardly a point in cake's favor.

anyway, pie's ability to deliciously incorporate meat really makes this debate moot.

ECH,
will reconsider as soon as someone bakes him a delicious bacon cake.

Well, isn't paté basically a meat cake? And when I made it, it also contained a lot of bacon [and port and juniper berrie and garlic]

What sad desperation you cake lovers sink to.


Also, hey Cainad. I was taking a stroll, eh, last summer, and saw this. Thought I'd share:


I know it's hard to see the truth plain as day. Cake is shit. Shit.

Also, this thing about cake being at weddings...
Weddings are lame and the very fact that cake is such a wedding staple shows just how lame they are. You know what I like at weddings? Beer. Or whatever expensive, free booze I can get. Not cake.

I hardly see this working in cake's favor. I mean, If you don't take a chance here and there you may as well seal yourself up in a bubble.

Messeges? Hm..actually, I have often contemplated sending FUCK YOU or THANKS FOR NOTHING cakes to people I hate. Too broke mostly, cakes are expensive. But that additional point against cake notwithstanding, I can see HATE cakes having value.

Conversely, I've never wanted to fuck a cake.

+1 for pie.

Have any of you people ever heard of a pie being ROFL?  No.
