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.

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?.......

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.

Is it time for bed yet?

Clara..... We need evidence you were wearing a bikini don't we guys?...... We'll settle for a photo.. its purely for research reasons, due to the increase in skin cancer; honest.. you'll probably have to post it in the Incredibly Interesting Thread..

I'd put people off their pies and or tarts!!

[qbounce]

I had a tart last night.

Pssst, Don't tell the wife!!

I broke my diet . . . . . . what were YOU thinking?? Nauty nauty.

[Scribbler]

You should be ashamed Bouncer. And you've only been married 5 minutes... If the Mrs finds out its.............

I thought a pie was, the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs, the two sides that meet at a right angle.

What does Nomis think?

[Hapahowlee]

I think we're dealing with definitions from 2 different countries here. When I make a pie, it's in a glass 9" round, sloped sided dish and usually covered, but some pies do not have a top crust like pecan, pumpkin, chocolate, chiffons or meringues. There are times I make apple, cherry or blueberry pies with a crumb toppings made up of flour, butter, nuts, brown sugar and cinnamon.

When I make tarts, they are any of the above in small fluted tins in different shapes. The round ones are usually about 2 inches in diameter.

So do you Brits have Tortes?

There's my 2 cents or with this economy more like $5.00 worth, but hey it's getting better, my annuity is edging back up again.

And. . . I still think Scribs got a new brain from the Wizard!

There are pastys also, biscuits/crackers too...perhaps we need a new thread...plez tell me cookies are still cookies

I thought the Brit's cookie is a biscuit? (or is that what you meant, SF--I'm as dense as a tart sometimes).

Don't forget the brioche, muffin and scone.

Damn, I'm hungry again. Think I'll have a brownie!!

Q I have no clue anymore, well maybe I never did; are those fudge brownies with nuts on top

[greybeard]

Just to muddy the waters a little more, in the UK a brownie is a little pre-pubescent wanna-be girl guide; a girly version of a wolf cub scout.

So if you guys ever make it over here, beware the early morning knock on the door if you are heard to mutter "Gee, I've gotta have me a brownie!".

GB, no brainer mate, we have the same over here, brownies, they sell cookies, peanut brittle and other goodies also; drop the wolf, and you have our cub scouts, drop cub, add boy or girl to scouts and you have the teenager versions...I'm guessing since you mentioned guides there is more to this story.

Oh yea, add eagle to scout and you get those guys that know how to build rockets from household items...like MacGyver, don't ask me how I know this, I might have to eliminate you will extreme prejudice or we could just share a keg of Guinness and get drunk/pissed...talk about tarts we have...

Just to throw another spanner in the works CR (I wonder where that saying comes from?) Where do Cornish Pasty's fit into the scheme of things; re the pie/tart issue. Do you Americans know about them? And what about Sausage Rolls...... Yummy!

Our Village Butcher bakes delicious meat pies and really large sausage rolls. The aroma of freshly baked pies and sausage rolls tempt me to buy one, which is still warm..

I'm so tempted, that I eat it on the way home; I just cant wait..




I'm starving...........

Asked a tart over to share a pie. Got rebuffed. Settled for some hot crumpet and soup on my ownsome.

Yeah.....a free hand to stuff your face with. Oh + not having to worry about getting dirt off 1st, wouldn't imagine those with electric chairs get nearly the amount of dirt on their hands as us manual users do.

I used a manual chair for 40 years so know what you can get on your hands...

In this Country its illegal to drive and use a mobile phone. I wonder if this law applies to electric wheelchairs and sausage rolls? Another topic to debate.

Sorry about the tart Nomis, I hope you enjoyed the Crumpet?..

[qbounce]

So, if a brownie is ripened/ aged it becomes a tart?
I'll have to set them on the counter and see what transpires.

In the meantime, I think I'll take another looksie at that cat's ass/ bellt button in the tattoo thread!

[qbounce]

We have Heffers--a not so nice term for ladies of the larger build.

And we have Fluffers--let's just say, in the porno world, these ladies got paid to help the men "keep it up". Something that probably isn't as necessary today thanks to the little blue pill.

So, Huffers might be large ladies who fluff?
