Is this going to be a secret ballot? I fear the possibility of reprisals if I pledge my allegiance in public.

Many. One large one messes up the crust to filling ratio. Gah, back to work!

I'll need to check with Grey Area, but I think for the sake of this vote all pies contain the same filling, otherwise the large pie suffers an immediate disadvantage.

I see the popular vote sliding away from the right decision, so I’ll forego my right to cast my vote anonymously, and proudly say: one big pie. Every time. Just because there’s lots of them doesn’t mean they’re going to be all different flavours, you know.

Gahhh. That happens every time. I really must learn to type faster.

Silly Plums. The pie-maker is not the pie and the pie is not the pie-maker.

Many little pies means it's easier for everyone to have one. Or throw them. Pie fight!

Nobody seems to have noticed that the gentlemen surrounding the "big" pie are, in fact, tiny. Look at the the chap with the (standard sized) knife.
You have all been foxed by these midgets and their normal-sized pie. Fools.

What a way to start my day...a debate on pies. Mmmm...pies.

The pies are all assumed to have the same filling, probably apple or plum or somesuch substance. Perhaps Mr. Dupre would be so kind as to agree on a similar filling for his pie, in order that the debate be confined to the issue of size? I throw the nominations for fillings open, subject to people not making their vote conditional on the nature of the filling and also suggesting palatable fillings (one large cockraoch pie being in my view just as bad as many little cockroack pies).

And for what it's worth: Lots of small pies makes it easier to share. Imagine having to cart one huge pie around to offer pieces to your friends. It'd start crumbling and leaking filling all over the place once you cut it open. Lots of small pies ensure that the last person you get to will be presented with a pleasing, intact and appetizing pastry product.

misty lain: Witness my tiny gentlemen.

I agree that all pie fillings should be the same, to prevent the results of this poll from becoming skewed. Are we going to need a new poll to decide what that filling should be?

Mr. Dupre, seeing as we are the originators of this poll, we should decide on the filling. I say cherry, although I might be willing to accept pecan.

Mr. Area, I accept your cherry.

Resume the voting, everybody.

Wait. What are we doing with the pie? If it is pie for throwing, I'm going to say many pies. If it is pie for sitting in, you'll want the large pie. If it is pie for eating, aren't you getting a little "roomy", dear? Have a nice carob bar instead.

Has anyone ever actually thrown a pie at anyone? It's a LOT of fun...

(It was at a performance art thingie in Vancouver, where after a brief comedy routine, the audience threw about 2 dozen pies at one of the comedians. Great fun.)
