There is like one posted that has "cheese cake pie" but the rest are just cheese cake....cake..

recipe titles can not be used to gauge the true inner workings of a dish (the are marketing tools, not instructions)

from good eats (if you don't know, you are missing out. the host, alton brown is more or less the mr wizard of cooking and spends quite a bit of time each show on what is chemically going on it the dishes to be prepared)

Boy oh boy with the way this post is going I'm thinkin it should be in Deep Blue LOL

Any way. I'm a pie eating type of guy and I love Cheese Cake with all the gram chaker crinklies for pie shell topped with cherries.. mmmmmm cherries..

So is it a pie or a cake.. Well It's a pie in my eyes and to me.. that's all that matters really.

And, I'm going to have to agree with Alton Brown of Good Eats fame in stating that Cheese Cake is really Custard Pie.

Correct! here is your smiley!:)

Isn't it something like a custard (sp?), whatever that is. Yet the name is right, who would want to eat a cheesepie ???

NO DOUBT...it's pie. cake is made with flour type material, cake is made with fruit/squishy material...who ever says its a cake is really wrong. cakes have icing. if you put icing on a cheesecake it would TOTALLY mess it up. if you need anymore things to tell its a pie...pies are in crust...cheese cake is too. all roads lead to rome...or in this case...pie

[FordPrefect]

Its a pie, just because it tastes so good. And pies taste good, right?

[RetroEclipseMan]

I still have to say it's a pie. I mean it has a crust people!!!!!!!
