Here we are, having now crowned the mighty Reuben Lord of Sandwiches in the last tournament, this week we seek to solve the most important, most ancient, most relevant question of all time: cake or pie?

TWO LEAGUES WILL BATTLE!

Choose your cakes, choose your pies, and choose wisely. Each round closes voting at midnight PST.

    Too similar to Buttermilk Pie

    which is why my photo of buttermilk pie has lemon wedges on it

    Agreed. I demand shepard and/or cottage pie.

    Also, pie is basically a sandwich that's all crust. Ergo, grilled cheese should be included.

    We can do savory pies later, maybe with hand pies

    I've got you, pecan pie is a travesty and doesn't deserve to survive. This first round was all pretty easy choices, but the next round is going to be really devastating.

    We're one page in and already we've seen the claims that pecan pie is a travesty and that grilled cheese is a pie

    Pie Trivia: Studies show that Pecan Pie is routinely found to be the most unhealthy dessert pie selection to choose from. I’m guessing because it’s a pile of jellied sugar topped with candied pecans.

    I'm rooting for dutch apple pie to win it all. It's a bit generic, I guess, but it's a classic for a reason. The apple, the crust, all warm and topped with some cold vanilla ice cream, is basically the best thing.

    Yeah, that was real rough.

    (Also coffee cake vs lemon pound cake wa real challenging. Very different cakes, but two of my favorites pitted against each other)

    Coffee cake wins by sentiment even though I don't think it should even be here, given that the cakes are competing for cheesecake's job

    Carrot cake is incredibly hard because many are bad.

    This is the more modern non-meat version usually served around Christmas. It’s apricots, dates, raisins, figs, all the dried fruits I guess
