What is your favourite pie?

Pretty much everyone I know likes banana cream pie, but I don't think any of them would say it's their favorite. Banana cream pie is like the solid, dependable crowd pleaser that you get when you aren't sure what everyone actually likes.
 
I have done some research it seems that most cakes are flour-based, while the cheesecake is not.

This debate also seems to go back all the way to the Greeks and maybe even beyond:



I don't even know what a torte is, other that the Polish word for cake is tort. So I'm going with "cheesecake is a pie".

A torte is just a cake made with loads more eggs than normal.

Two medium eggs for 4 oz flour, 4 oz sugar, 4 oz butter, would be considered "normal", I think.

So, yeah. add more eggs, cut down the flour and use nuts instead.
