If you could ask Steven anything about AoC, what would you ask?

I would love for us to type down some questions we have for @Steven Sharif about AoC! Maybe we can upvote the ones we think are best and hope that @LieutenantToast can pick the 10 most upvoted ones and make Steven answear them!

Back in the day it was the premodern equivalent of frozen dinners. It lowered dishware use and kept extremely well for later eating. The tops of pie crusts were made thick and largely disposable. Kind of like a lid made out of bread to better preserve for later eating. The thick lid also made cooking for longer at higher hests more possible and made certain tougher meats like eel palatable. Pies were almost universally savory before advances in pie cuisine made during colonial settlement of north america.

Pies go back to ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome etc. Probably some changes to them over time from country to country but the range of filling types from meat, vegetables, fruits etc were widely used.

You can use that as pie filling too, why not?

Makes me think of an alternate telling of Game of Thrones where that fat little boy Aria befriends makes pies with Beefaroni in them or something...

ahh Hot Pie! That would be a funny marketing logo putting his face on a series of pie products like the Chef Boyardee

Does he like that other AoC game that much that he named his game to have the same acronym.

Now you see why the Cake v. Pie is a such a rich debate in my house. I seriously think Steven needs to re-evaluate his response in the light of such thoughts.

Steven, cake or pie?

This is a serious debate in my house.

I think he already answered this in one of the q&a. He chose cake.

Pffffffft. Pie > Cake

Agreed! I definitely prefer pie over cake.

Cheesecake is so good. One of the best types of pies in my opinion

Look a Rockaberry on Internet. Its cheese Cake paradise.

Looks good to me! I'll check it out if I ever get the chance to

Some of their pies look more cake-like but I don't know how they make their crusts. I wont really get into breaking them down in terms of traditional terminology. I don't really know how they make their pie shells (pastry vs cake).

Depends how far one wants to go on the spectrum from a true pie vs true cake. Cheesecake is traditionally closer to the pie side of the spectrum than the cake side of the spectrum if that makes sense.

Anyways, looks good!

Well its because they are Cake-Pie. Some have Pie crust some other have Cake and then all their cream is cheesecake flavor of something

Well their menu on the official website labels them as Pie, not cake-pie. Maybe they don't know the difference? Aside from what I previously mentioned.

Lol. I can see why! I looked up the history of cake. Didn't dive too far into it yet either. Apparently it's got some interesting viking history as a gift.

I would definitely recommend sharing your question for Steven about Ashes of Creation in our monthly Q&A post once that's available, so that we can grab it for a chance to be answered live on stream! In general we choose questions to answer at random, rather than looking at "likes", so that everyone has a fair shot at getting an answer

(not just those who may have other friends on the forums).

Looking forward to seeing what questions you all share for this month's stream once that thread goes live!

Apparently cheesecake dates back to ancient Greece. Those romans conquering the world at the time spread lots of spoils across their empire and eventually the world including cannabis for fibres, medicinal and recreational purposes. Those Greeks held on to such a delicacy for several thousand years. Apparently it's recorded to be served for at least 2000 years dated from 230 A.D ( 1800 BC?). All that fine wine and desserts they've been holding out on. The interesting things about ancient civilisations. I wont even get into wine and other botanicals products. Technically certain alcohols were medicinal as well to consume aside from sanitary reasons. Something actually cool about ancient Egypt is they figured out electricity currents and batteries.

one would be surprised how many plants and things a-like were transported and cultivated around the world. Things many countries are famous for did not originate there that we assume do to this day.

It's funny, some folks see cheesecake as a shared compromise in the Pie Cake Venn Diagram. However, I see cheesecake as neither cake nor pie, so it's over there in it's own little fenced off area, never to be touched.

As you can see, we live in a very odd universe.
