Make Cherry Pie redirect to Pie
Pls --68.96.241.18 15:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Cherry Pie is a perfectly good place for the article about the record Cherry Pie, if there was any real information about Cherry Pie in this article (Pie), putting For the culinary dish, please see Pie at the top the the album article page would be more use I think, as there is hardly any information about Cherry Pie in the article at present, I don't see how this would be helpful. --Alf melmac 15:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Apologies if I stepped on any toes, there is now a page for Cherry Pie (dessert) and Cherry Pie (album) WLU 00:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

US v. Rest of world
I think the article needs, long term, to be reorganised so that US usage is seperated from generic English usage. Likewise UK/Australia/NZ. In pieland and the piepeople, while there are fruit pies, if you say pie people think of a savoury dish, the US is (it seems) the other way around. Alex Law 16:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would this be necessary? The article appears to currently be inclusive of all types of pies. Nitwit005 05:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The Top Picture
Someone really needs to find a better picture at the top, it looks kind of nauseating. Mechanical Gecko 21:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Can someone find a better one? Psychade 16:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I added Image:FoodApplePie.jpg instead. the wub "?!"  12:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Why a "Popular Culture" Section?
It doesn't seem right to have a "Pie in Popular Culture" section. Pie transcends popular culture. Pie is more popular than "popular culture"! The concept of pie is more well-known than any of the references mentioned, and the bit about piethrowing could be put in a seperate section entitled "Pie and Humor." (68.98.52.155 00:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC))


 * Although the pun is delicious, I would hardly consider pie to be a staple of film comedy...

If the references to pie in popular culture are innumerable why choose a few obscure ones.i lo7utyuhh iiu7yIncrediblub 05:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

''It would clearly make more sense to have a "Popular Culture and Pie" section. -- Tom Anderson 2006-12-18 22:21 +0000''


 * I think this article is in need of a popular culture section. Pie has a big part in internet culture, and I think that deserves a spot here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.6.209 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 2 June 2007


 * Okay, the thing about Might Boosh needs to go. It adds nothing.

Come to think of it the whole "popular culture" section adds nothing. Incrediblub 00:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Blind-Baking?
Small change needed. The article just needs a definition of "Blind-baking" so we're not confusing the reader. (UTC)

'Pie' vs. 'Pies'
Which is the official term when referring to pie in general? Floopik 03:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Pie vs. Turn Overs and Cobblers
An argument was presented to me of whether or not a certain dish at a buffet would be considered pie or not. It was labeled 'Apple Pie'. Others suggest it be called a turnover. This lead to an actual discussion of what pie is and what it isn't. Are turn overs and cobblers children of the pie family? Does pie have to be round? Can someone get to the bottom of this?


 * Pie does not have to be round. — Haim Berman 08:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Removing
This:
 * "Not all of these savoury pies are actually pies: for example, shepherds' pie and many styles of pizza pie are pies in name only."

Sheperd's pie and other pies using potato as a case are pies, well and truly. The opening paragraph of the article even tells us that this is the case......Patch86 23:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

This stuff has nothing to do with pie, why is it here?

Fish Pie
Please add fish pie to the list of savoury pies and link to Fish Pie —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CupOBeans (talk • contribs).

Is this guy serious is there really anything called fish pie or is this a vandal danieljackson 15:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, fish pie does exist. Do a Google search on it.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Fish pie, here we go. A perfectly valid, if uncited, Wikipedia article.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Cow pie
The article mentions "cow pie" as slang for a cowpat. However, in the Desperate Dan comics, Dan's favourite food was a baked pastry pie (with horns and tail protruding) called a cow pie. If anyone thinks that's worth a mention, feel free to add it. 86.164.186.231 (talk) 01:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Cheese and Onion Pie
And where is one of the greatest pies ever to grace the iron walls of the kitchen`s heart? The Cheese and Onion Pie, which is different from a cheese and onion pasty, different shape and filling (pies tend to have a gooier filling with pasties being dryer,) is a fully pastry enclosed pie with a gooey filling often comprising of cheese, onion, mustard and egg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.242.68.199 (talk) 08:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
