The problem with "pie" is that it means almost anything. Spanish does not have a concept for a type of food that can either have a fruit or meat inside, which can be pastry crust or pan, or filled with custard or cream, or else. A "pie" in English seem like almost anything edible, if you ask me.

Aha! I know what your problem is. See the page below, which is what you're seeing. But notice the part I have circled in orange. That gets you to the English -> Spanish version of the question!

shock But keep scrolling down, because there is another problem! shock

Clicking on that link gives you what you are looking for:

The problem is: there is an error in the dictionary! Pay no attention to the word I marked out, and instead look at the Spanish words below. The page is right, just that one little word is wrong!

"Pay de queso" cheesecake."Pay de chocolate" chocolate pie."Pay de atún" tuna pie.

"Pay" is what we use in the north of México for this. The word is in all the markets and restaurants

"Pastel" is what we use for cake.

It's always helpful to hear the regional usages. - 0074b507, May 26, 2011
Ok, but...isn't that Spanglish? It doesn't appear to be a Spanish word. (pay) - Goyo, May 26, 2011
I cannot call it spanglish , Too many labels and menus use it here - pacofinkler, May 26, 2011
Google "pay" and you will find 10 pages of "pays" - pacofinkler, May 26, 2011
