So it was briefly discussed and hushed rather quickly the topic of is cheesecake a pie or a cake....

I admit I had to go google it, and am finally satisfied why its a pie and not a cake. I quote the all mighty wiki:

"Cheesecakes, despite their name, aren't really cakes at all. Cheesecakes are in fact custard pies, with a filling made mostly of some form of cheese (often cream cheese, mascarpone, ricotta or the like), and have very little to no flour added, although a flour-based crust may be used. "

Other web results give reasons like the fact that a cheescake does not rise and obviously no cake I have ever heard of actually has a crust.

So Im curious as to the huge debate that was quelled in the intrest of saving the raid from recovery because we would argue over cake and pie.

your thoughts?

also for the record Beard you are the best ball handler ever!

:)

You just had to go there, didn't you?

Who's balls was Beard handling, praytell?

actually in speaking with X today he was like "you did what?" when I told him I made this post. He explained the entire cake vs pie factions within V.S.
Who knew? I thought it was a simple question... of course him being canadian he quickly adjusted the scales stating that neither could hold a candle to Donuts. Which are a cake I might add... but he explained that they were so much more than that and made some allegorical remark on fish and dolphins.. which totally lost me.

So yah about that....

Sounds like X

I thought my allegory comparing donuts to dolphins was quite astute.

Sounds fishy to me.

I am quite good at handling Princely Balls!

Cheesecake is a goddamn custard.

Wow and I thought I needed to get out more often.....

From this day forth it shall be a cheesepie!

Heretic.

I thought we agreed it's a custard cake?

Custard is made from eggs, not cheese.

There is only one answer to the cheesecake debate. Yes, it is a pie. Regardless it is delicious!

Ssssss?
Are you hissing in morse code, Pils?

Damnit Fren, I was going to say that!!

The new guys dont have enough pie street cred for me to think up something clever yet.

Your average cheesecake has 4+ eggs... custard-y enough?

Custard is based around egg and cream, not cheese. So, in a word...no.


Custards will also have about 4 eggs and cream or evaporated milk, but that is it other than flavoring agents. Cheesecake on the other hand has 4 eggs, but 32 oz of some form of cheese. So the major factor there is the cheese and not the egg.
