Pie is the hipster of the dessert world. Pie is like loluva because pie lovers embody a sense of superiority without the performance to back it up. Cake is a classic that will always be better than pie, regardless of how different or fancy the pie may be and regardless of how trendy it may be. Cake is the perfect representation of a real Hokie.

Mrs. Chachi made 9 pies this past weekend and we invited all of our North American friends over Sunday night to enjoy. For the record: 3 pumpkin, 2 sweet potato, 2 chocolate and 2 apple.
Not a scrap of nasty cake anywhere, though we did apply generous amounts of Turkey Hill vanilla ice cream to some slices.
Pie always wins the holidays.
Edit: legs for all Team Pie peeps. As for the cake-eaters, well, "let them eat cake." That's punishment enough.

However, since "Chachi" was my Navy pilot call sign, only I got saddled with the goofy nickname. It has grown on me over the years, kind of my alter ego from younger days (the 80's).
And pie still rules the dessert world.

Pie is great at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Can't imagine cake at those times. But cake the other 363 days of the year and an extra day in a leap year.

To the contrary, we are actively trying to get pie to a place so far away from humans that it cannot be consumed. This is a wonderful idea. Let's celebrate with cake!

Meat pie is definitely included in the pie vs cake debate. One of the appeals of pie is that its so versatile. Savory pies, sweet pies, cold pies, hot pies, pizza pies, pot pies... the list goes on

Okay, so I am generally team cookie and/or team ice cream (it's so hard to chooooooooooose) in the dessert debate because pie and cake both seem pointless and stupid compared to either cookies OR cake.
HOWEVER. Meat pies are the greatest things in the world. If they are part of the pie vs cake debate, then cake sucks even more than it already did.
Speaking of meat pies, for any NoVa TKPers, Pure Pasty Co in Vienna (right on 123, real close to the W&OD trail) makes baller Cornish Pasties of many types. I got a $100 gift certificate there and spent all of it in one visit (my freezer is now full). Cannot recommend highly enough. And while Cornwall is not Wales, more's the pity, they are like the long lost, slightly more English cousins of the Welsh, just across the Bristol Channel.

This is false. Crab cakes are great, but I'd take a Cornish pasty any day of the week over a crab cake.
But I'm also going to have to agree with the person who said let's keep this to a dessert debate. Pasties should be exempt, and therefore I can feel comfortable in my position that both cookies and ice cream exceed pie AND cake.

There is a flag on the field for this whole subthread. The Ref is signalling "Illegal Pie Throwing. It is a seldom called penalty and has not been seen since the Three Stooges football episode.
The Space Pie came from the Weather Channel
Meat pie has no sugar in it, therefore it cannot be considered for TKP. Its basic zoology/ botany logic.
There should be no reference to a pie that your Mom used to serve you in an aluminum tin because she was too drunk to cook.
Meat pie used to run around and eat stuff. Real pie in its raw form was eaten by the meat.
This is my case and I will leave it to the jury.
Jezz let the bowl game get here!

Yes to team pie, as long as it's pumpkin or sweet potato. Those fruity pies are for those up the road at loluva. Us hokies don't cross the railroad tracks...

I had a cheesecake/red velvet cake hybrid the other day and it would make you go from six to midnight. The combination of the two best cakes leads to highly erotic situations.

Cheesecake is actually more pie like than cake though... it has a crust, no flour is used in the filling, and is the same consistency sometimes as Key Lime Pie. I think the term Cheese pie just didn't sound as appetizing.

Given all of the above, let's talk about cheesecakes. Generally cheesecakes are cylindrical, 4-6" tall or more, have a baked custard center, and a crumb crust. With a minor change in appearance, any pastry that is a crumb crust filled with custard and baked, in my mind, is a pie. The addition of cream cheese is no more a disqualifier than the addition of bourbon would be.
So, in short, a cheesecake is a pie. It can also be a cake, but it can't not be a pie.
This pie vs cake debate is obviously an attempt by outside forces to attempt to divide hokie fans. Should we not be working together to dislike something awful? Like Rhubarb Pie or Fruit Cake. Both terrible examples of the pie vs cake debate.

Hey! Fruit Cake is the original American cake! Its ancestors were Election Cakes; baked to encourage men to vote in elections and were a cornerstone of this great nation.

Rhubarb is one of those foods that can't be eaten without making it something different. If I want strawberry pie, I am going to eat strawberry pie. No need to make some fibrous stalk try to taste like it.

A colleague of mine makes a Franklin Co. Cake. Which is a beautifully baked pound cake covered in some shopped fruit and then drenched in moon shine. Now that's good enough to convert even the most hard core pie lover.
Honestly you just cant soak a Pie in liquor and end up with something better.

Pie just coming out of the oven. New pie thread on TKP. Illuminati confirmed.
This has about 1000 less up votes than it should.
via GIPHY
I made a pie this week that was a take on the Girl Scout Samoa cookie. It was amazing
Exactly. You were trying to replicate a COOKIE.
I'm guessing that the pie is better.
the pie is better than the cookie
I equate cake to loluva meaning it's stupid and I hate it.
....somebody hold me back, yo

I always thought of lolUVa as a cupcake, which is clearly part of the cake family.
Pie has been around since the Egyptians.
Ah the ancient Eqyptions. Those were the ones that made the flying space pyramids that make crop circles right?
pyramid profile is in the shape of a pie...just sayin'

Shouldn't "Mrs. Chachi" be referred to as "Joanie?"
Stop me if you've heard that one before. :)
Technically yes.

Icebox cake - the only time my family has it is at Thanksgiving and Christmas
This thread is disgusting
Emma is Team (cup)cake, you automatically lose.
One of the few photographs of Emma where she's not attractive. I'm thinking it's the cupcake effect.
I'm pretty sure one cupcake doesn't make her team cake. I mean how would you know they're inferior if you never tried one?
No, the answer is simpler than that. She's an actress, right? She was acting.
She's generally a better actress than that, but it would be a challenging role.
Not a bite out of the "cake" part only the frosting.
BTW this girls name is Emma too.
Yes it is. It's Emma Nubinile.
wtf "onlytease.com"
I don't know the relevance, but I'm going to go ahead and give you a leg because, wow.
Right, what were we saying about again?
Pie > Cake
Pie Sent Into Space
(Yeah, I know it's a meat pie so maybe not directly related to the pie vs. cake debate, but still pretty cool.)
The moon landing was a hoax fabricated in a Hollywood studio. I assume pie could pull of such a ruse as well!
Meat pies are a crucial element of the cake/pie debate. Never underestimate their importance
To the contrary, we are actively trying to get pie to a place so far away from humans that it cannot be consumed. This is a wonderful idea. Let's celebrate with cake!

Second. Pure Pasty is dope. They deliver too. Morrocan lamb all day
They deliver Moroccan dope? Is this in DC?
Meat pies < Crab cakes tho
Louisiana meat pies though? I dunno man...
Those things were like crack for me when i was stationed in Shreveport.
...do love me some crab cakes though.
What a dilemma
This is false. Crab cakes are great, but I'd take a Cornish pasty any day of the week over a crab cake.
But I'm also going to have to agree with the person who said let's keep this to a dessert debate. Pasties should be exempt, and therefore I can feel comfortable in my position that both cookies and ice cream exceed pie AND cake.
Crab cakes are better than YOU.
There. I said it.
I really respect Mongols. Because they perfected how to cook a horse.

Pie thread started on national cup cake day = fail!
Emma has it right!
Yes to team pie, as long as it's pumpkin or sweet potato. Those fruity pies are for those up the road at loluva. Us hokies don't cross the railroad tracks...
So you admit that pie at least at some level is Hoo food? Well argument over then.
#cakewins
People don't serve wedding pie. Or birthday pie. just saying
My birthday was Monday. We had a birthday pie. Pecan pie with whipped cream and candles.
Heathen
I'm sorry you had to experience that
That's because cake is for days where some people are sad.
Man, you've had some shit happen in your life.
Sweet Potato birthday pie every year.
People don't need an occasion to eat pie. just saying
Uh pancake!
Doughnuts/donuts, Uglies, biscuits...the list goes on.
Cake poops on pie
So you're confirming that there is poop in cake?
There is an even simpler truth. A truth that will unite all of us. A truth that we are reminded of at the beginning of every holiday season.
UVA sucks.
UNPOPULAR OPINION:
I am Team Pie but I also enjoy a good cake
pls don't disown me
So you're bi-dessertual? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
I'm sure it's just a phase. (Please don't get political on me)
I just like to include all desserts
Pan-dessertual
Does this mean you get your own bathroom?
So now we boycott the Belk Bowl?
I had a cheesecake/red velvet cake hybrid the other day and it would make you go from six to midnight. The combination of the two best cakes leads to highly erotic situations.

Because of the pie part, right?
Written by someone in enemy territory (Not actually written by TKP's InEnemyTerritory)
People from Augusta County/Staunton will appreciate the Mrs. Rowe's reference in that link.
Not from Staunton/Augusta, but GOTDAMN Mrs. Rowe's
4VPISU already said it, however I will reiterate. Cheesecake is a pie. Its a custard in a pie crust.
I'M NOT WRONG... YOU'RE WRONG
(sorry for yelling)
The best part of this gif is the word "Right" directly behind him.
nailed it.
This pie vs cake debate is obviously an attempt by outside forces to attempt to divide hokie fans. Should we not be working together to dislike something awful? Like Rhubarb Pie or Fruit Cake. Both terrible examples of the pie vs cake debate.
Hey! Fruit Cake is the original American cake! Its ancestors were Election Cakes; baked to encourage men to vote in elections and were a cornerstone of this great nation.
Because the only thing fruit cakes are good for is construction.
How dare you diss the good name of Rhubarb pie
Rhubarb is one of those foods that can't be eaten without making it something different. If I want strawberry pie, I am going to eat strawberry pie. No need to make some fibrous stalk try to taste like it.
If they serve Pie for dessert....I don't eat dessert.
Understandable. One can only eat so much.pie in a day before stuffed.
Ah cake and pie, lovely side dishes for the Best Dessert Ever of Ice Cream
Voting for the third party candidate huh?
Wow, the number of cake eaters on here is almost equal to the number of "fans" that attended the LOLUVA Spring Fest.
Coincidence?
I think not
Time to face facts: Lawson transferred because Fuente's new S&C staff told him it was the team or pie. Can't say I blame him for choosing pie.
Being drunk in the kitchen is a bad thing?!
It needs to be said that there are no types of pie associated with terrorism.
The only good cake is a crab cake.
The only good pie is a pizza pie.
So I was looking for a good "you're a monster" gif, couldn't find one, but I did find this gem and had to share for no real reason.
I think I can speak for all of TKP when I say:
We're talking about pee pee here
dont know how to embed youtube, but it's a clip from Look Who's Talking Too
We throw cakes in urinals. Just sayin'.
This whole damn thread is off the rails! Jeez now we are feasting on urinal cakes! Sould they be called urinal pies?
What in the hell
Pie...cake....cookie
All are better with #teamICECREAM
Ice cream FTW
For your car!
JL is with me... team cake FTW!!!
To quote the greatest band in history:
...how I imagine all your pie lovers:
I bet that guy's team cake. No team pie member would ever waste a pie like that.
A colleague of mine makes a Franklin Co. Cake. Which is a beautifully baked pound cake covered in some shopped fruit and then drenched in moon shine. Now that's good enough to convert even the most hard core pie lover.

FTFY
So you admit that nothing can improve on pie!
You can't polish a turd.
Actually they polished one on Myth Busters. Hey you can't make that shit up.
...what?
And yet some of the best moonshine I've had is Apple Pie.
There's a severe lack of bacon in this conversation about best foods
Here you go:
Thinking about this just reminds me of the muffin top episode of Seinfeld. That cake wouldn't even be fit for the homeless shelter once the bacon comes off.
Shots Fired
Honestly, I don't know what that is, but I would eat the hell out of that.
TWSS?
MMM pie!!!
MMM cake!!
Damn I'm hungry now.
Bud Foster prefers doughnuts.
Sorry lady readers and those with young children looking. But the original gif has me at full mast.
