Ok everybody, think about this before you vote.....it has a crust and it has filling.....PIE!!! And if it becomes designated as a pie, than Tim will have to make me one! HAHAHAHAHA!!! ;}
Had to pause before voting...Melanie's logic just about had me. Webster..."pie, n. A paste baked w/ something in or under it;" Now I know you'll flame me if I'm wrong, but doesn't cheesecake generally have a crumb crust, rather than paste? Sorry Melanie, I was thisclose. :-) I put it in a catagory of its own. The much older sister.
(countable) A pie made of sweetened and flavoured cottage cheese or cream cheese, eggs and milk on a crunchy base. Cheesecake is an especially fattening desert.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pie#English Noun Singular pie Plural countable and uncountable; pies
pie (countable and uncountable; plural pies)
A type of pastry that consists of an outer crust and a filling. The family had steak and kidney pie for dinner and cherry pie for dessert. Extended to other, non-pastry dishes that maintain the general concept of a shell with a filling. Shepherd's pie is made of mince covered with mashed potato.
