Well, if y'all are handing out cheesecake, better save some for the Red Flag Fund crew!

You know what? If you do bring cheesecake, make sure you bring enough for everyone, or the race director might have to take drastic action...

if you look at a cheesecake cook book it has cheese cakes that are made in pie tins and and are called pies which taste just like cheese cake

i think enetmens or what ever the cake company is called makes a cheese cake pie
so i would say its both cake or pie depending on who makes it

[Court Jester]

i still say it's a pie.

'A cheesecake is a sweet, cheese-based dessert. The combination of its crust and filling (typically containing eggs, cream, and a soft fat like cream cheese) make it a closer relative of custards like buttermilk pie or creme brulee than of a traditional cake, and in fact it is classified as a pie (and not a cake). The first recorded mention of cheesecake was during the ancient Grecian Olympic games in the occidental world. Cato the Elder wrote of cheesecake preparation in his farming manual "De Agri Cultura".

Cheesecakes can be made of ricotta cheese, havarti, quark, twaróg, or, more usually, cream cheese. Other ingredients such as sugar, eggs, cream and fruit are often mixed in as well. Flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate may be added, and a fruit topping, like strawberries, is frequently added. Typically, the cheese filling or topping covers a crust, which may be pastry, cookie, digestive biscuit or graham cracker-crumb. Sometimes the base is a layer of cake.'

Anybody ever heard of a 'digestive biscuit'?

[Burt Munro]

How disgusting.....  for my 1000th post I used the word 'digestive biscuit.'

And how come there wasn't any fireworks?
