The Bastard of Summer Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've been inside a bakery once,and I did not see Hot Pie there. How could he be any good I have never seen him? Also I purchased a cake from said bakery and the clerk there said she had never heard of his Hot Pie either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bastard of Summer Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 pls dont take this as an insult but... Have you gone out of topics?Yes and no. Sometimes things get a bit too serious around here. Not all of us are literary scholars, and professors in mythology and religion, and we can't really comment on subjects we know nothing about. So we take time out to dumb things down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khal Pono Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 To those of you who claim that because Arya praised HP's baking--and after all she was highborn and grew up in a castle eating lemon cakes and knows her pastries--therefore Hot Pie must be a great baker, you must consider the following:Arya is not the cake and pie connoisseur of the Stark family; that honor would go to Sansa, the true gourmand of the household.Arya is a growing child with a healthy appetitie, but she lacks a refined palate and will eat anything that satisfies her. She is much more concered with sword fighting and horseridng than with evaluating dainty delicaciesAlso consider that Arya is significantly younger and in many ways less mature than Sansa. Why, think back on what kind of palate you had when you were Arya's age! At that age, I thought that Kool-Aid was the most delicious beverage known to man and that fish sticks were haute cuisine! Surely Arya wouldn't know a properly prepared lemoncake if it bit her on the arse.For these reasons, and more, I say that we must take Arya's assessment of Hot Pie's baking prowess with a prodigious lump of salt.

pitakon Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 we also know that cersei lannister was the reason Hot Pie was sent to the wall. His baking is so good, Cersei can't stop eating it. She might get fat because of it. She did get heavier later on, but thats besides the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to go back and re-read the Arya chapters. Arya would know good lemoncakes because she once walked in a lemon grove. She also knows how to pick lemons. When she is at HH she actually serves Roose lemon cakes. They smelled good. So Hot Pie made bread if he can make bread he can make lemoncakes. He is blood of the piedragon afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Pono Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 The fact that she broke Lem Lemoncloak's nose is metaphorical and not to be overlooked--indeed, it is suggestive of her disdain and disregard for all things citrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! I love Arya, but come on, she eats worms, bugs, moldy food and rotten apples like they were going out of style. She sees Hot Pie and goes into Bear Grylls mode thinking "chubby young human male = protein-source". Therefore her lack of input on his baking prowess is inconsequential.

Thats just not how he works. Arya knows how bad worms taste, so when she eats hot pies baking she KNOWS shes eating only the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can argue about wheteher Hot Pie is the best but we can't deny that he is really good. He is in Kings landing right now, that was him selling pies and his baking skills are funding the Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Also, we must not forget that Arya is undergoing training to heighten all of her senses; she is currently being set up to be the only POV character that posesses the PtwP (Palate that was Promised).
