Boston Cream "Pie:" Not a Pie.

Open Letter to Boston Cream Pie:

Dear BCP,

I think it's about time that you came to terms with it. You are not a pie. At best, you are a cake. At worst, you are a donut. How or why you came to be called a "pie" is beyond me. You obviously were feeling insecure about the fact that you lack the proper frosting coverage to be truly respected as a proper cake. And what's with your filling? What is that, pudding? Custard? See now, if you put that pudding into a pie crust, you would have a perfectly legitimate pudding pie. But nooooo, you had to put the pudding in the middle. And the only baking going on with you is the sponge cake. Yes, that's right, cake.

Dude, give it up. You are such a poseur.

Your friend,
Amy
