Poll: What is pie?

[gim73]

Uh, yeah, the pi joke only works if it's said, not written.

fruit pie is the best

meat pies are meh...

cake is not pie

meat cake is lasagna, which is why any idiot who makes lasagna without any meat is simply making some other unnamed dish and calling it something it's not.

just like head cheese is a cheese?

No. That would imply smegma is a dairy product which it clearly isn't.

I think your confusing head cheese(a food name) with slang.

LOL

If you're refering to that strange meat jelly substance that Europeans sometimes class as food then no. Not a very appetising product in my book.

Edit - In either case though they still aren't a dairy product.

 

[Dwarfman]

Dear god sir what is that? It's the pork pie from hell! Looks tasty though.

Walkers, they handmake them so they look a bit quirky. Bloody lovely though.

My friend you can tell that not only are they handmade but they are made with love and care. The way all good food should be.

yes I am


the problem is using the same logic as cheesecake being a cake it is in fact a cheese.

See the problem.

There is no problem other than it is late and I am still in kitchen mode. To prevent me from being permenately banned from this site I'll sign off now and just ignore you.

Well that OP wasn't presented with any sort of bias or implications.

Anyways, I like going with Jim Gaffigan's definition:
"Pie is like liquid cake, the biggest difference is that if you put candles on a cake, it's someone's birthday. If you put candles on a pie, someone's drunk in the kitchen again."

Did you say pi-

3.14159...Etc etc, ad infinitum.

... fuck, ninjaed. Oh well.

....

OT: Fruit Pies, obviously. Or possibly pecan pie. Meat Pies are "pot pies" - a whole other thing. Just pie is clearly a desert that comes in a pie crust.

Actually, there it is, isn't it? A pie is anything in a pie crust.

I still voted fruit, though.

I think I made a few mistakes in there..it's been a while

 

[loc978]

psh. Inaccurate terms... when someone mentions pie, I ask what kind. That word can mean anything from pastry to female genitalia. Also:

 

[RatRace123]

Cake.
Pie is cake. That is the answer I'm going with.

 

[Sansha]

I don't discriminate. Fruit, meat, chocolate, a mix, I don't care. If it's hot and wrapped in pastry, I'm eating it.

There's a pie shop near where I live where the people know me by fuckin' name. They have beef, lamb, apple, chocolate, blueberry, chicken, and a bunch of gourmet stuff that's a mix of the above. All sorts of yummy fillings and sauces... delicious. All of it.

Can't we all just pie along?

Well,...

Look at 3.14 in the mirror

413 = PIE
ð = PIE!

Well, while I agree with you for the most part, aren't "Meat Pies" sometimes "Pot Pies"?

All "Pot Pies" I've ever had contain veggies, especially the most famous in the U.S.A., "Chicken Pot Pie". I've never had a "Pot Pie" that was just meat and gravy.

"Pot Pies" are always meat and veggies, aren't they? I've never heard of a "veggie pot pie".

Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Pot Pie, Pork Pot Pie... they all have meat, meat gravy, and other stew-like veggies.

candy pie

You're trying to make me fat aren't you?

Aren't you?

;_;

 

[Monster_user]

"Pot Pies" are always meat and veggies, aren't they?

My point exactly.

I've never heard of a "veggie pot pie".

Not what I meant, but I'm sure they are out there, probably contain soy though. Vegetarians like Pot Pies just as much as the rest of us.

Well "pie," spelled Pea Ie Ea, is food. Either a desert or a main course depending on the filling.

Pi, spelled Pea Ie, is the symbolic representation of the number 3.1415926535... and so on to infinity.

 

[Leemaster777]

The pie is the greatest achievement of humankind. The only food that is completely and totally appropriate to eat at any time of day.

Breakfast pie, lunch pie, and dinner pie. Hell, pie is both the dinner AND the dessert.

So please, let us not argue pointlessly over the superiority of one pie over another. It is all pie, and it is all delicious.

Also, thread made me think of this:

There are many different kinds of pies both Savoury and Sweet; Pastry and Dish. To say one pie is a good manly pie and the other is a fruity womanly pie is both meaningless and retarded. As a qualified chef who has worked in the hospitality industry for the better part of 13 years, this is my professional opinion of your poll.

PS If you are trying to visually sell the concept that a meat pie is better than an apple pie please use a real pie and not some frozen job courtesy Mrs Mac or 4 and Twenty caper. Steak and Kidney (diced big so I can see the steak and kidney) cooked up with mirepoix (That's a culinary term for onion, celery, leek and carrot roughly diced) in stout and a beef stock made with beef bones simmered and skimmed for 8 hours. Forty minutes in the oven in a blind baked pie case with the flakiest muther fucking puff pastry as the top. Do not serve with ketchup. Ketchup is for the weak. IF it's a good flavoursome pie the sauce is already inside the pie. All you have to do is take a bite. Once you have done this then you can come back and talk to me about manly/good pies.

There is this concept called humour. It doesn't seem as if you have heard of it.
