Pot pie, pasties, shepherd's pie, and the like. (Haven't had steak & kidney in a while. Oh, quit looking at me like that.)
I have a strange theory that people of a given political

I had steak and kidney pie once. Didn't like it, which is odd, considering that I like haggis and black pudding.
Haha, nope. My favourite, yellow, is about the only colour I never wear, because it makes me look ill.
I seem to be a bit out of step with the conversation... Put me down for cake. (Though my local pie shop does a tomato, lentil and coriander that is amaaazing.)

Friends, cake-standers and pie-r-roundists, ye need not be separate slices within the dessert cart of life. I say unto ye all that the world is not made of individual portions slapped with the savage mockery of nutrition labels.
We of the inner circle, we who know the sacred mysteries beyond these outward divisions of the display cases, we invite you in to the place where all the world is revealed to be ingredients, and all these delectables are but forms to make them in.
Come master the mixer, spin the whisk, fire the oven, come and be one of us, be a baker.

My favourite colour is deepest red, like the flag that shrouded oft our martyred dead.
No, wait. We're talking about pastries.
Love the vanilla slices from our local bakery, but the best things are their bee stings (Bienenstich).

Can confirm, I dig modernism and I'm a dirty Red. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION, AND A COMMUNIST UTOPIA WILL FOLLOW FORM.

How have I not seen this thread before now?
There aren't many things I'm 100% confident on in life, but I can say with absolute certainty that this is bullshit.
Also, cake. Or pie, if it's beef, smothered in tomato sauce, and I'm at the footy.

Since the United States is a conglomeration of tens of millions of different people from all over the world, I fail to see why anyone would expect them to be, dress, act, speak, worship, or think in the same manner. Individuality is not chaos. This country and the world as a whole would be a far more boring place if everyone was carved out of the same piece of soap.
Hey, as long as you don't like the Yankees, you're welcome in New England.
Best pot pie I ever had was in a pub in Hammersmith England. Love a good shepherd's pie. Got my first introduction to them watching Julia Child. A few years ago at out local farmers market, one of the bakeries had fresh pasties, my aunt got one and said it was delicious. Never had steak and kidney pie.
Will you make my birthday cake?

I have sex with men and love the colour orange. Clearly, I'm liberal. Man, you're on to something here.
Cake is extreme left. That's why I like it. It has personality. It has spunk. It has a certain savoir-faire and joie de vivre. Pie is just, well, pie...isn't it? Right.
OP, you've not understood what I meant by the term "libertarian" (hint: not the political party.)
Cake and pie isn't nuanced enough. Some pies are great. Some cakes are terrible. And vice versa. Just be safe, and stick to coffee.

Coffee anything is acceptable, even treasured, although tea is also delightful. The only poem I've ever been inspired to write was a rumination on our household tea collection.

Only this Sunday I was sharing the virtues of mocha-flavored ice cream when a fair few java fundamentalists launched into loud counter-sermons on the subject Coffee Must Not Be Cold.
I, of course, maintain that coffee's virtues are self evident, no matter the season. And that these virtues are neither diluted nor demeaned, regardless of the manner of enjoyment.
100% agree. I mean, really, Baskin-Robbins' Jamoca Almond Fudge. O.M.G! (This from someone who doesn't really care for ice cream in general.)
ETA: Oh, yeah, another vote for pie.

I have noticed a lot of liberals like it up north where it's cold and wet while a lot of conservatives prefer the south where it's hot and humid. Think conservatism has a lot to do with chicken-fried steak and cream gravy? (With mashed potatoes and peas of course).
