Pie usually has a crust with filling. Apple pie, Blueberry pie, Pot pie, etc...
Cake has the "bread" inside and usually has icing. No icing on pie.

I make a darn good blueberry pie, although my strawberry rhubarb pie is even better

I'm going to vote for cake, especially if it's really rich chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. *drool*

The leaves are poisonous. Oh that would make me feel really great when eating it. I would make sure the person that made the pie took the first bite.

Bah. Apple seeds are filled with arsenic and are very poisonous. Do you always make someone else eat that first bite of apple pie?

hmm. I have eaten apple seeds and I am still here. They must not be too poisonous.

I'm sorry, it's cyanide, not arsenic. You can get the
Straight Dope on this topic. It sounds like eating a cup of raw apple seeds would be dangerous, but less than that is okay.

Cooking the seeds removes the dangerous enzymes. I wonder if the same can be said for rhubarb leaves?

Well I really don't think I will get enough of a craving for appleseeds to eat a cup of them.

first, cyanide isn't an enzyme. second, cooking things doesn't remove enzymes, it denatures them (twists them all out of shape so they don't work the same way any more). thirdly my brother ate rhubarb leaves once. he got slightly sick to his stomache, but was in so sort of danger at all, i don't think they're very poisonous.
