Ok, something I've learned
Pie, sardines and fudge seem to be okay.

Noooooo StillFingers!!!
A pie is a pie if it's got meat in it but if it's got fruit in it then it becomes a tart!!!
I'm not sure what a tart is in the US!

Sorry we don't have "tart shops" in the U.S., we have PIE shops......& unless it's "pot pie" you won't find meat in American pies. LOL

Geybeard is an authority on tarts... That's what it alleges in this paper

I always assumed pie was covered and a tart was open?? Maybe Nomis the Wise One can tell us?

Meat pie, Apple pie even Cottage pie all are covered. Custard tart and Bakewell tart are open, but I'm sure someone will find out; and I bet its Trin... :-)

Fatdave the baker should know...

Ahh! Those were the days

At least you've brought back some interesting memories!

[StillFingers]

I think we need to start a pie-n-tart thread; meat, fruit, veggies...and where does rhubarb fit in
There is also pizza pie; thin, thick and deep dish, are these tarts?
And there's the pie/custard thing that looks

I'm so confused

There are other pies/tarts, but these should be discussed in the members only area

Perhaps we can help. Where exactly have you tried so far? .. Was it fresh, or limp?


On second thoughts, this definitely belongs in the members' only forum.

It's water retention!

Thighs are still a little on the red side. It's quite embarrassing. Everything else seems to have turned into a rather pleasant tan.

Actually, Pecan Pie is open too. Tarts are either:
1. Loose and easy to stuff, and caked with makeup
2. A smaller, more densely crusted baked dessert.

Either way, tarts are open . . . . . for business!!-hehe

Well, being bored as usual I decided to do a little research and found the following:

"A pie is a sweet or savory dish with a crust and a filling. The sides of a pie dish or pan are sloped. It can have a just a bottom, just a top, or both a bottom and a top crust. A pie crust is traditionally made of flour, salt, cold water, and lard (or shortening) but many pie crust recipes use a combination of fats such as butter, lard, or vegetable shortening, or just butter. The goal is a crisp, flaky crust. Pies are served straight from the dish in which they were baked."

"A tart is a sweet or savory dish with shallow sides and only a bottom crust. Tart crusts are usually made from pastry dough: traditionally flour, unsalted butter, cold water, and sometimes sugar. The goal is a firm, crumbly crust. Tarts are baked in a pan with a removable bottom, or in pastry ring on top of a baking sheet so that it can be unmolded before serving."

Throughout my youth my mother told us we were being served apple tart whereas it seems we were, in fact, being served apple pie. I feel I should give her a good talking to for misleading me but seeing as she's dead I'll let her off. Maybe she just hoped I'd grow up thinking that when I heard people referring to tarts I'd think of apples not loose women.
It worked!!!

I think it was a different KIND or "tart" he was professing to be an expert of.

Well they're only legal on the outskirts of Nevada & they'd be called "brothel" or more widely known as "whore house".

If any of you fellas ever come to visit us "yanks"; call a girl "tart" & she'll think you're calling her "sour", ask for a "fag" you may get a different kind of cigarette to smoke.

I knew we could rely on Nomis to provide the answer....

Greybeard seems to know more about Tarts then pies....... I wonder why?

I'm really worried about Clara's thighs, plus I'd like to know why she had them open and exposed in the first place?.......

That's a good one wheeliebear, but I doubt they get over his huge belly; they'd have to make a detour.... plus they'd start here writing how bored they were....

Getting back to the topic in hand.

A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough shell that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients. Pies can be either "filled", where a dish is covered by pastry and the filling is placed on top of that, "top-crust," where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry/potato mash top before baking, or "two-crust," with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Pies can be a variety of sizes, ranging from bite-size to ones designed for multiple servings.

A tart is a pastry dish, usually sweet, that is a type of pie with an open top not covered with pastry. Sweetened fruit is arranged on pastry, often puff pastry, with or without custard, after which the tart is baked in an oven. The Tarte Tatin is a particular kind of "upside-down" tart, of apples, other fruit, or onions. Savoury varieties include German Zwiebelkuchen (Onion tart), or Swiss cheese tart made from Gruyere.

It shows how bored I am, as my plumbers didn't turn up this morning.

If you'd seen the bikini I was wearing you'd have realised that most things were open and exposed that day!

Had a bad day at work - it is not appreciated when after 74 something hours of drawing time the boss decides to change the lay out of the plant.
