That was great! Brought back fond memories of the Great Internet Pie Vs Cake Tournament of 2010!
There is a fascinating interview on the podcast Fangirl Happy Hour with Ann Leckie about whether cheesecake is a pie or a cake. She concludes that it is a sandwich through a fascinating series of logic. I recommend a listen! <a href="http://www.fangirlhappyhour.com/2017/09/16/fangirl-happy-hour-episode-96-surprises-everywhere/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.fangirlhappyhour.com/2017/09/16/fangirl-happy-hour-episode-96-surprises-everywhere/</a>
