strixo: I abstain, on the gounds that pie is supeior to cakesies. It's a moral positions, and I can't be comprpmisning. But cool givewawya brother.
GoJays2025: I have explained my love of both cake and pie on several occasions. In short, my opinion is that a well-baked cake can trump any pie in terms of deliciousness. However, I do still love pies given their superb versatility. A pie can be both sweet and savoury, meaning you can have a whole meal of nothing but pies! I also have to say that pies are also irresistibly delicious, but the potential isn't quite as high as a cake's. So if I were to pick my favourite thing to eat, it'd be a cake. Not that I'm saying one's totally better than the other of course, they both have their place in the world, but most of the time there's nothing I'd like more than to sit down in front of a huge cake and just go nuts with it.
It may be the wine talking, but I think I love you, if only for your attention to exposition.
Are you including crumbles, dutch pies, and tartes under your pies? because I do, I took the pie less travelled by, and that has made all the difference!
Ladies and gentlemen, you are such a wonderful crowd, we'd like to play a little tune for you. It's one of my personal favorites and I'd like to dedicate it to a young man who doesn't think he's seen anything good today - GoJays2025, this one's for you.
