Pie thread - Page 6

I had some blueberry cobbler the other day, it was pretty fantastic.

I think cobbler counts as a type of pie, as it is almost the same except the top crust is really thick over the filling, and I'm not sure if there is a bottom crust, either. I guess this is why it is in the sub-class of "cobbler", but I'm definitely sure that it isn't in the greater class of "cake" so it definitely seems to come under "pie" in my opinion.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Just as a note, a cobbler should not be confused with a buckle as a buckle is a pie filling drizzled over what seems to be a piece of cake, so I'm pretty sure buckles come under the heading of cake and not pie.
