Pies. Have. Lids.

Ergo, Pumpkin Tart or Pumpkin Flan.
Deal with it, DBZ. 😛

No, because it's a topping and not a filling.

What about deep pan? They get filled. <puff> <--you, in logic.
 
This thread is now about the socio-economic ramifications of the industrial revolution as it applies to lower-middle class workers on the upper west side of London in summer.

No, they get toppings. Show me a pizza that's for sale in the UK with a lid (therefore making it a pie) and I'll do something degrading in return.

But read the definition posted by Injury at the top: "usually covered with a pastry crust".

And, yes, pizzas are indeed filled. They have that crust on the edge to keep everything in... just like a pie.

No, they're not filled because they don't have lids. They have toppings and an edge.

Oh yeah, so you don't fill a drinking glass? Are you just 'topping' it?

Show me a cheesecake with a lid.

There are none, ergo, it is a cake.

oh god this is another Soymilkish thread...

It's Cheesecake... you can categorize it in whatever way makes sense to you, but the english language is fluid enough that you can call it either a cake or a pie....

How often would you ever need to call it anything other than a cheesecake though?

Hey Phil, look at this:

pie1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (p)
n.
A baked food composed of a pastry shell filled with fruit, meat, cheese, or other ingredients, and usually covered with a pastry crust.
Notice the USUALLY part? Pies don't absolutely need a lid. Yes they often have lids, but pies don't always have them. And you could easilly put a lid on cheesecake.

My definition: if the bulk is solid enough that there are well defined air pockets (like bread has) then I call it a cake. If not, I call it a pie. Thus to me, cheesecake is a pie.

What if I put a nice biscuity layer underneath it? Is it a cake? A pie?

OH WOW I DIDN'T SEE THAT DARRRRR.
Yes, I noticed the "usually" bit. My definition: no lid = cake. Lid = pie.
