*swoops in* if key lime pie and pumpkin pie are pies, cheesecake is pie. (i have no idea what we’re talking about)
No. Cheesecake is not pie.
Why would you make a pumpkin cheesecake if it’s just pumpkin pie pie? That’s redundant.
Cheesecake has more of a cake consistency than a pie consistency.
Cheesecake is the liminal space between pie and cake. An unsettling grey
area that leaves us all questioning the purity of our food order. It
must be ritualized, contained, as all liminal times, places, and objects
are bracketed by our societies and religions. That is why we insist on
graduation ceremonies and funerals. There is no lemon meringue factory,
There is no angel food factory. Only cheesecake needs the rigid
structure of a factory.
