Cheesecake: Cake vs Pie
I think cheesecake is, by virtue of its crust and unleavened nature, a pie. Others have claimed that because it does not have a flakey crust, it must be, as the name implies, a cake. What do you think? Why?

This is a dupe thread, but if the cake wants to loose again then feel free.

For the first 15 years of my life I was accustomed to cheesecake made by my Hungarian great-grandmother. It was a decidedly different thing from what most people think of as cheesecake, and could not qualify as pie or cake.

Cheesecake is demon jism spread on a graham cracker crust.

Re: Cheesecake: Cake vs Pie
It depends on the type of cheesecake.
A cool whi(m)p type no bake cheesecake is a pie.
A savory cheesecake is a pie since they usually have a pastry crust (but if you have bacon and onions in it who cares, it will still be good)
A New York style cheesecake or a German Käsekuchen would truly be a cake.

So if you had a cheesecake with bacon in it would it be a Bastard?A savory cheesecake is a pie since they usually have a pastry crust (but if you have bacon and onions in it who cares, it will still be good)

I believe I did the last thread, and the final answer was that Cheese cake is Penguin. Yep Penguin.
All dwarfs are by nature dutiful, serious, literate, obedient and thoughtful people whose only minor failing is a tendency, after one drink, to rush at enemies screaming "Arrrrrrgh!" and axing their legs off at the knee.
