Someone REALLY needs to write up an article about pie. --Dante Alighieri

[edit] Political Pie Throwing

I added a bit in the culture section about pie throwing as a political activity.

What about plain ol' clown pies?

Or the special european pie?

[edit] Tarte Tatin

The page previously said:

Tarte tatin occasionally is miscategorized as a form of pie. It is actually a sweet upside-down cake.

but this is not correct. The defining characteristic of a pie is the pastry crust, which a Tarte Tatin does have. It is not in any sense a cake, since it is not made from batter. -- Dominus 17:27, 8 May 2004 (UTC)


My wife has suggested that there is a difference in terminolofgy between Europe and the U.S. regarding cakes and pies. In the U.S., the meaning of "cake" and "pie" is as I described above. But perhaps in Europe the meaning of "pie" is more restrictive, and the meaning of "cake" is more general. Can anyone provide advice on the possibly different interpretation of "pie" in Europe? If My wife is correct, then I should not have made the change I did to the article. -- Dominus 00:49, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV Disputed

I raised the npov flag due to things such as this: Pie is a word used to describe anything yummy---that tastes like pie. Pie is a favorite for both young and old people. Pies can include cherries, berries, pumpkin, chocolate, fruits, vegetables, or creams. Pie is awesome. in the article -PengRate 03:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Potato rather than pastry?

The definition of Pie based on pastry seems to exclude those one-crust like pies topped with potato such as Cottage Pie, Shephards Pie and fish pies which are inclued in lists of pies on the page.

[edit] Jordan Jackson

I can't find anything on Google to support the 'fact' that eating pie a la mode was popularized by someone named Jordan Jackson. Unless someone can verify that line, I say it needs to go.

delete it then

[edit] curry pie

what about curry pie? and someone should write something on sauce that goes with pies

[edit] Make Cherry Pie redirect to Pie

Pls --68.96.241.18 15:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Cherry Pie is a perfectly good place for the article about the record Cherry Pie, if there was any real information about Cherry Pie in this article (Pie), putting For the culinary dish, please see Pie at the top the the album article page would be more use I think, as there is hardly any information about Cherry Pie in the article at present, I don't see how this would be helpful. --Alf melmac 15:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Apologies if I stepped on any toes, there is now a page for Cherry Pie (dessert) and Cherry Pie (album)

[edit] US v. Rest of world

I think the article needs, long term, to be reorganised so that US usage is seperated from generic English usage. Likewise UK/Australia/NZ. In Australia and the UK, while there are fruit pies, if you say pie people think of a savoury dish, the US is (it seems) the other way around. Alex Law 16:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Locked

How the heck did an article on pies become locked?


Because an anonymous contributor was consistantly vandalising it over a number of weeks. --Doc ask? 13:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Top Picture

Someone really needs to find a better picture at the top, it looks kind of nauseating. Mechanical Gecko 21:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC) Agreed. Can someone find a better one? Psychade 16:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I added Image:FoodApplePie.jpg instead. the wub "?!" 12:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why a "Popular Culture" Section?

It doesn't seem right to have a "Pie in Popular Culture" section. Pie transcends popular culture. Pie is more popular than "popular culture"! The concept of pie is more well-known than any of the references mentioned, and the bit about piethrowing could be put in a seperate section entitled "Pie and Humor."

"Throwing a pie in a person's face has been a staple of film comedy since the early days of the medium"
Although the pun is delicious, I would hardly consider pie to be a staple of film comedy...

If the references to pie in popular culture are innumerable why choose a few obscure ones. The references add nothing to the article. Incrediblub 05:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blind-Baking?

Small change needed. The article just needs a definition of "Blind-baking" so we're not confusing the reader. (UTC)

[edit] Pie Opinions

Who here thinks pie is the best food ever?

I do not find it the best food ever, as ramen is number one on my list... but yes, pie is awesome.

Beware! Inside pie, there are chickens, gamecubes, Moltres, Raichu, and bacteria(in a good way!)

[edit] Unprotect

Isn't it about time to unprotect this article.

the world should write what they want about pie

thats a good point i've always thought democracy should be worlwide and that includes articles about pie, the people of the world should be able to have their say about pie.

[edit] 'Pie' vs. 'Pies'

Which is the official term when referring to pie in general? Floopik 03:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pie vs. Turn Overs and Cobblers

An argument was presented to me of whether or not a certain dish at a buffet would be considered pie or not. It was labeled 'Apple Pie'. Others suggest it be called a turnover. This lead to an actual discussion of what pie is and what it isn't. Are turn overs and cobblers children of the pie family? Does pie have to be round? Can someone get to the bottom of this?
