Pie wins, because pie can have meat in it and meat pies are just the best thing ever. Especially a good potato-top pie. Mmmmm. And then there are so many other options which, with the right person and the right ingredients, have far more potential than any cake. If you guys go to a great bakery somewhere in NZ or Aus you'll probably find some damned incredible pies there. The UK has alright ones when it comes to variety but they lack the extreme quality of a Southern Hemisphere meat'n'pastry.

Loco, if you're making your cheesecake in a pie pastry, you're doing it wrong. Biscuit base or nothin'.
