I don't care for the crust on the outside but I agree it's not at all uncommon for cheesecake to have a external crust (not to mention it always has a defined bottom crust, which cake typically does not have). I personally think cheesecake is more like a pie than cake as well.

Cheesecake is a custard baked in a crust. Most civilized people agree that this makes it a pie, somewhat similar to key lime or pumpkin pies. Some pedantically insist that it is more properly called a tart, even if they can't explain the difference between the two. And there are even a few oddballs who insist that cheesecake belongs in a category all its own, but that's only because they derive pleasure from taking contrarian positions on the Internet. But even they agree that, no matter what you call it, cheesecake is most definitely NOT cake.

If you had no prior idea what a cheesecake was called and had to classify it as either a cake or a pie, you would ABSOLUTELY call it a pie. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Yall can downvote me if you want! But if pies were perfect then they wouldn't make them a la mode. If cakes were perfect then they wouldn't have made ice cream cakes. If cookies were perfect they wouldn't have made ice cream sandwiches.

In the pie a la mode scenario, the ice cream is simply a condiment. Would you say the ketchup is better than a burger? or that (Vinegar based, always vinegar based) bbq sauce is better than pulled pork?

I promise I'm not trying to hate on ice cream, Michelle, it's an amazingly flexible dessert that goes well with and improves many other foods, but alone, it is not the greatest dessert

What's ice cream without the cherry on top? There is literally a colloquial expression centered around the idea of ice cream not being the best it could be all on its own.

Okay, fair enough. But how do you live without cheeseburgers?? Cheese fries?? Mounds and mounds of cheese on your salad/entree at Olive Garden? Like seriously if the servers arm doesn't fall off after cranking all the cheese on to your plate, you aren't doing life right.

Not all cheeses are made from sour milk, not all cheeses are molded milk. While I agree that the ones made from sour milk (like cottage cheese) are nasty, cheeseburgers are second only to pizza in terms of deliciousness.

Sorry, pal, but you seriously left out the good stuff in your list. I won't argue about pork, because bacon, but without shrimp, scallops, oysters and crab, the world would be a dreary restaurant to eat at.

The Old El Paso commercials were common circa 2008, meaning they either took decade-old footage of her to make the commercial, or it's a different person.

in Lafayette, Louisiana a couple weekends back; I walk into Rouse's grocery across the street from the tailgating at Cajun Field and they have these big football-shaped chocolate whoopie pies. first thought: is a whoopie pie a cake or a pie?
edit: and i expected way more fire on that pie!

And now I am craving pumpkin pancakes with white chocolate chips covered with pralines in a warm caramel sauce. But that's still breakfast (probably brunch because it does take a bit to make), not desert. I agree that pancakes are the best cakes, but the best pies a clearly better than any cake.

Disliking pi is irrational.
Mind = Blown
Let's amp it up
May the pie/cake debate rage on...
But personally I prefer cake
What about cheesecake? Is that a cake, b/c it seems more like a pie.
no crust on outside.... cake it is
what? do you cut your cheesecake directly out of the center? The crust around the outside of the cheesecake is the best part
I don't care for the crust on the outside but I agree it's not at all uncommon for cheesecake to have a external crust (not to mention it always has a defined bottom crust, which cake typically does not have). I personally think cheesecake is more like a pie than cake as well.
Sorry for the ginormous image.
looks like some poor bastard took the "cake" part of the name too seriously and made themselves a god awful crustless cream cheese circle cake
I mean sure, you can take away the crust, but that doesn't make it better.

I have been on the fence for quite some time. In light of this information about cheesecake not being a cake, I am hearby declaring for team PIE

Leg for vinegar based, but that's it

Oh snap!
So, you're saying that it's giving ice cream the business?
What you meant to say was milkshake.
Milkshakes have everything. EVERYTHING.
Cake = Chrome
Pie = Firefox
Ice Cream = Explorer
whoops, meant to reply, not new comment
Comparing Ice Cream to Ketchup is an ungodly sin no matter where you stand in this debate.
Pie is the correct response.

2) Pork

I would pour gas on my hand and set it on fire. Revolting.
So...if you don't like cheese, what do you dip your nachos in?
Tortilla chips go with mango salsa.
Well, pretty much any salsa. But mango is a strong choice.
Okay, fair enough. But how do you live without cheeseburgers?? Cheese fries?? Mounds and mounds of cheese on your salad/entree at Olive Garden? Like seriously if the servers arm doesn't fall off after cranking all the cheese on to your plate, you aren't doing life right.
The bottom of your list is just so...wrong.
Thank god you're good at reviewing football because you suck at reviewing food.
Sorry....but i second this except for the pie and cake rankings
Hmmm, you know what would make this delicious charcoal grilled burger, fresh lettuce and tomato, and spongy bread taste better? Spoiled milk!
WRONG-O

Not only that, but cheese is delicious.
Unless you're talking about some rotten crap like limburger, of course.
By definition, all cheese is rotten crap.
Sorry, but I just can't trust anyone who doesn't like nachos.
Like how alcohol is yeast excrement. You have a problem with that? Not all shit is bad.
Then there's those coffee beans.....
This is meat PIE with an aluminum crust.
Heap it on a saltine and you have a cracker crust.
Shay Mitchell is one hot ass grown up!
I... um... I... don't disagree, but... how is that relevant?
The picture above saying why not both, is Shay Mitchell as well. That's how this is relevant.
How old is she now?
Wiki says 30.
The Old El Paso commercials were common circa 2008, meaning they either took decade-old footage of her to make the commercial, or it's a different person.
That proves it. Shay Mitchell is a timelord.
Um...I'm not so sure about that...
BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS IN THE OFFSEASON, FAM

I fail to see the humor in conflating pi with cake. ;-)
My birthday pie last night!
in Lafayette, Louisiana a couple weekends back; I walk into Rouse's grocery across the street from the tailgating at Cajun Field and they have these big football-shaped chocolate whoopie pies. first thought: is a whoopie pie a cake or a pie?
edit: and i expected way more fire on that pie!
I don't want that many candle holes in my pie, plus all the nasty wax.
I believe a whoopie pie is a sandwich.
ahhhhh
I am fairly confident it is not a hot-dog.
which would be worse, a whoopie pie hot dog or a hot dog whoopie pie?
hot whoopie with a dog pie
anyone else dis-proportionally entertained by the fact that our resident first responder has a birthday on 10-4?
Let's be honest, the best cake is a pancake which isn't even a desert. Pie is clearly the best.
Pancakes are nothing with syrup
And now I am craving pumpkin pancakes with white chocolate chips covered with pralines in a warm caramel sauce. But that's still breakfast (probably brunch because it does take a bit to make), not desert. I agree that pancakes are the best cakes, but the best pies a clearly better than any cake.
