jjbrr Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 matmat: i hate cake. the frosting is hopelessly too sugary imo. ive never eaten cake and thought to myself that i'd make room for a second piece to further judge. rbouskila: pie is perfect for me. you let the fruits shine through and enhance them with ice cream or whipped cream. fruits+sugar=complement amirite?

Hanoi5 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Cake, there's even a song about it. And cake is better than pie, you can have just any flavor (my dad made a passion fruit cake to die for) AND you could add filling or frost, to your taste. What else can you ask for?

Lobowolf Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Single variant, pecan pie. Top to bottom, cake > pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Voted pie before realizing that it's about the saying, which is obviously about cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 how can you not own a cake but still eat it? even at a wedding, you are granted the possession (and right to eat) of one or more slices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 The original phrasing was "would you both eat you cake and have your cake?", in that order it makes more sense. Would have been better if "have" had been "keep", but the saying goes back to 1546 and the word "have" might have had a slightly different meaning then.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_one%27s_..._and_eat_it_too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah, here in England you'd better not order a pie at a restaurant since you can't predict what you will get. But I think in North America it is roughly what they call tarte in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 pie: a baked dish of fruit, or meat and vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry. cake: an item of soft, sweet food made from a mixture of flour, shortening, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients, baked and often decorated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 All these pie votes? People are insane. Just give both to a 1 year old child to find out which is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 En español hay tarta, torta, pastel. Depende de dónde te encuentres se llamará diferente. El PIE se refiere a un dulce (aunque también lo puede haber de carne o salado) con una capa un poco dura (arriba y abajo) y un relleno, generalmente de fruntas o dulce de frutas. CAKE se refiere a ese dulce generalmente esponjoso que puede ser de diferentes sabores y puede venir con un glaseado (y hasta con relleno). En cualquier caso la discusión inicial se refiere a un dicho en inglés que dice que no se puede tener todo en la vida, es decir, no puedes ser el del cumpleaños y comerte el pastel completo, o algo así. La elección correcta en la encuesta es CAKE, en ese sentido. There is another song which features the phrase (and it's probably more popular): Bob Dylan: (A guiy is strumming the chords over the original BD song, but that's the best I could find in youtube) Ministry's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjGRIWNcZG0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberlour10 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah, here in England you'd better not order a pie at a restaurant since you can't predict what you will get. Agree. The risk-free-zone for pie seems to end in Ostend und Calais <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order it in Scotland and it will have minced meat in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
