Pie or Cake?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Cake is alright. Cake is like a combination of bread and sugar. Which are okay. Pie, however, can be made of ANYTHING. Fruits, pudding, meat, cheese, veggies, etc.

Clearly, Pie is superior, thanks to its versatility.

I make a killer egg salad sandwich pie.

But I have also made cake out of things that most people don't think cake is made out of. I made a delicious onion cake, and beet cake, while odd, is not un-tasty.

Meat cake is a little trickier, but as you saw, it's not so tricky it can't be done.

Onion cake you say? Hmmm. perhaps it could be.

However, I'm pretty sure that meatcake was merely a creative meatloaf. Which, may or may not be a cake.... DISCUSS.

You're not helping the cake camp with these, Nigel

I'm making blackeyed peas.

Not sure how to get them into pie form.

Maybe like tamale pie?

Also, Twid: Shepherd's Pie is no longer Holy^(tm) once you are south of Connecticut.
In fact, these yahoos down here have never heard of it.

"Cake" has a very broad definition. I make quinoa cakes, which have more in common with quiche. Pancakes are delicious and you can put anything in them, including chocolate chips and bacon, at the same time if you want.

Crepes and blintzes are pancakes with PIE FILLING.

Heathen lands. Must send missionaries bearing shepherd's pie.

You'd think the south would be all over that shit.

Much like Boston Creme Pie, they are both PIE and CAKE at the same time.

No entree makes it down here that doesn't involve barbeque, jalapenos, or chickenfrying.

I was mildly culture shocked in Mass when I couldn't order jalepenos as a pizza topping.

You can nowadays. Windy City Pizza is pretty good for that. And monsterburgers.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

That's a huge improvement. When I was there, TACO BELL didn't even have them.

For realz.

Other than that, everything was great.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've come to a revelation.

Cake is not bad.  In fact, cake is pretty alright.

The problem is that the motherfuckers who like cake are terrible.  Their taint is evident in their baked goods and their evil spreads through each morsel of moist dessert.  What was once a slice of sugary wonder becomes a conduit for their filth and wickedness.

Do not hate the cake, friends.  In fact, a pie person can make a cake and it'll probably be something less than total failure.  But the moment a cake person makes a cake, it is wretched.

Beware the pie prepared by cake fiends.  It is false pie.  Not pie at all, but rather a sub-pie, a quasi-pie, born of the machinations of a degenerate people.

Don't make me bake for you, EoC.

Last bastard I baked for, I made a chocolate cake so awesome, he couldn't taste anything else for a month.

True story.

I once made a piecake that consisted of a store-bought crust with Amish vanilla pie filling with kladdkaka over it. It was tasty, but I think it would have been improved by replacing the crust with a layer or two of phyllo dough or just saying "fuck it all, it's an upside-down kladdkaka with Amish vanilla pie filling on top." If anyone knows a crust recipe that they think would work with the other two elements I'd love to hear it. The pastry layer was a bit thick and heavy and detracted from the fillings.

I will test anything leln decides to bake.  Any day.
