Google translate doesn’t really make sense to me, it says “cake” or “pie”, but I don’t think it’s either. A pie will have meat in it aka “pork pie”, and a cake doesn’t seem right either, though I’m not a Baker or chef etc. See attached picture for the delicious poppy pyragas.
Any help/pointers appreciated thanks.

Thats a cake.
Cake
Pyragas translates to cake. It also can translate to pie in the American sense — as in apple pie or cherry pie.
Meat pie is more of a pyragaitis.
Pyragas and Tortas are cakes – Tortas is like an American style birthday cake. Pyragas is all other type cakes, dense cakes – and pies.
My lithuanian ass thought it’s kepeninė
It is cake.
Pyragas is pie
Tortas is cake
Mano manymu pie 🥧 bet ispradziu galvojau cake 🎂🍰
Depends but when I was living in Uk everything with icing was cake, everything without but similar to cake – pie of some sort. With pies they usually have specific name as in meat pie, blueberry pie, custard pie and etc.
What is that made out of? I thought it was meat loaf lol. Layered sweets with icing and such would be a cake 🎂 a pie is the things you have a crust for and put a little bread lid on. Pies don’t have to have meat, I love apple pie 🥧
A pie is a pastry case, sometimes sweet, sometimes savoury, with a filling (can be savoury or sweet). Lietuvoj jie nėra populiarūs. Tad dažniausiai reikės naudoti cake. Jei tortas – geriausia vadinti layer cake – chocolate layer cake, strawberry and cream layer cake (jei tik du biskvito sluoksniai sutepti kremu ir uogiene – Victoria’s sponge), yoghurt layer cake ir t.t. Britanijoj asociacijos pie yra daugiau su mėsa, Amerikoj kiek suprantu – vaisių įdaru. Nuotraukoje – cake.
Pie – pyragas
Cake – tortas
O cia tau brownie kas yra pyragaičiai
Pie

A pie doseant need to have meat in it
Not all pies have meat in them.
I’m I the only one that sees an unphotogenic kugelis?
For me personally when speaking in English, I refer to Pyragas as pie and Tortas as cake
You know I would say this could be considered a Tea loaf.
A lie.
Hur
Looks like meatloaf
Pie. Cake is tortas.
Most of the answers are wrong.
A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients.
The thing in the picture is cake.
Fun fact: brownie is a cookie.
Pyragas su įdaru – pie.
Purus pyragas – cake.
Tortas – torte (techniškai kalbant) / layer cake
Brownie
TIL the Lithuanian word for ‘pie’ and ‘cake’.
Now I know what my main question when I travel:
‘Where can I find pie’
Atsimenu my mom called all her coffee cake type pastries ‘pyragai’. Maybe it’s a regional distinction. I don’t recall the name for pie. Tortai were served for occassions and company, pyragai were for everyday dessert if we were lucky.
Cake or pie.
I’m an American and that looks almost more like a bread pudding than a cake. We don’t have a specific term for a soaked cake (it looks saturated?). I’d love to know what is in it!
