I am enjoying a wonderful piece of cheesecake, but why is it not called cheese "pie" |
|
...when it is obviously a pie?

3. Cake must have bread..... |
|
I see no bread, therefore, it must be a pie.
Either that or cheese "cake" is neither fish nor fowl.

2. Because it has flour and eggs? |
|
:shrug:
It's not really a custard, as a lot of nonfruit pie fillings are.

4. You're right, it's a pie. |
|
Furthermore, a koala bear is not a bear.

11. Because the cheese pie is something different... |
|
it's baked in a pie pan and has a slightly looser consistancy.
Junior's, in Brooklyn, always had cheese pies in addition to a dozen or so varieties of cheesecakes. None on their website now, but they don't travel well anyway. Might still have them in the store.

12. I agree with you. Everything about it is like a pie, most notably |
|
the pin tins they are made in. They're basically a cream pie.

14. same reason Boston Cream Pie isn't called a cake |
|
since it really is a cake rather than a pie.
And now I want both a cheesecake AND a Boston cream pie.

And I totally concur with you. Who cares what kind of pan it's made in, it's a filling on top of a crust. That's a pie.
To be more accurate, I call it cheesepie. :hi:
