Don't like cherries... Here you can have the slice I was hoarding ;).

Thanks a lot!

*mmmmhhh*
*Remembers an... incident of the past*
*looks at the bottom of the pie to ensure that it didn't change in the past day to a moldy green*
*relaxes again after seeing that not being the case*

That was a horrible day, once in a otherwise nice beautiful East-Frisian sunday...
We were merrily drinking tea outside in our garden (or rather, below our car port :) - but it has a transparent roof), and had some nice strawberry pie my grandma or my mother did a few days (probably just one or two) ago. It tasted well, but by some accident, my cake dropped on its side, revealing the fact that the bottom was indeed in a greenish color indicating it has gone past its date... :(

On a related note, is that really a pie or a cake or is it all the same in Engish - in German, it's called "Obstboden". It means there is a floor made from pastry that can be baked separately (and is in fact also sold this way), and fruits are added on top (with a glaze made from the fruits juice). My favorite is a mix of strawberry and some banana slices at the edges (usually an "improvisational technique" if you don't have enough strawberries or cherries or whatever else you wanted to put on the cake...)

Something similar once happened to me...

Both since pastry crusts are used for both (even though they are often just labeled as "pie crusts").
