People associate Washington's Day with cherry pie. What is your favorite pie/pies?

[debm55]

I like key lime pie the best-the sweetness and tartness is hard for me to resist. You can list any kind of pies. I also like coconut creme pie.

[jpak]

1. Maine grown pumpkin, apple, lobster and blueberry

Yup

[debm55]

2. Are they mixed together?

[jpak]

41. Oh yeah

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. Tie between French apple (pie with icing!) and pecan.

[debm55]

4. Oh, pecan pie is so good.

[Ocelot II]

5. Pie.

[debm55]

8. Ocelot, I take that to mean all pies. Me too, cake is too filling for me. I like pies better.

[3catwoman3]

45. I like your answer!

[Irish_Dem]

6. Fruits are just sweet veggies. So I don't like vegetable pie.

But I admit cherry pie is not too bad for being a vegetable.

But something more creamy is good.
Or chocolate.

[debm55]

9. Irish-Dem, like chocolate creme pie????

[Irish_Dem]

13. Just about the most perfect dessert.

Except I don't eat the crust which just gets in the way of the good stuff.

[debm55]

51. I do the same. Ha, HA. Sometimes I think I should just eat chocolate pudding in a bowl.

[Irish_Dem]

58. +1

[Delmette2.0]

7. My favorite is rhubarb.

Now I'm craving rhubarb pie and fresh rhubarb won't be ready for months!

[highplainsdem]

36. Do you like strawberry-rhubarb? This is very good:

https://www.mariecallendersmeals.com/large-frozen-desserts/fruit-seasonal-pies/strawberry-rhubarb-streusel-pie

And now I'm craving that.

[Delmette2.0]

37. Now we are both going to have a long wait.

I have never tried strawberry rhubarb pie. I love strawberries and rhubarb. Together just doesn't sound right.

[highplainsdem]

38. They're great together. My mom used to make both rhubarb and

strawberry-rhubarb pies. But that frozen pie is the best I'd ever had of that flavor. Recommended it to a friend who had never tried it and decided to get one for her young son's birthday, instead of cake. Her entire family loved it. With vanilla ice cream, of course.

[Delmette2.0]

39. I may have to try it this summer.

[highplainsdem]

40. Well, that frozen pie is available year round.

I'd planned to get groceries tomorrow morning, will try not to come home with one of those pies. Last time I ate the entire pie by myself in a couple of days. And I'm fairly thin and watch my weight.

[Wicked Blue]

42. Bee-bop-a-ree-bop Rhubarb Pie

[Delmette2.0]

43. LOL

One more in favor of rhubarb!

I like the Bee-bop-a-ree-bop.

[rogerballard]

10. Key Lime

and Rhubarb

[Xavier Breath]

11. It's like you're asking me to pick a favorite child.

Bummer.

But, in order:

1) Any type of pie that has a graham cracker crust
2) All other pies

Praise be the pie!

[debm55]

12. Amen

[rsdsharp]

14. Cooks Country Icebox Strawberry Pie.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Cherry, banana cream, and lemon meringue.

[Big Blue Marble]

16. Love pies. The very best....

Lemon Meringue Pie

[dchill]

17. Not a fan of rhubarb or cow!

Everything else is great!

[Celerity]

18. proper London meat pie and mash

if you are talking sweet pies

then Swedish kladdkaka FTW

[debm55]

19. Oh, those look wonderful. What kind of berries does the Swedish pie have in it? Have you eaten

these?

[Celerity]

23. Kladdkaka is a type of chocolate pie, no berries, and yes, I grew up in London and live now in

Stockholm so I have had both many many times.

If you are ever in London, and want the ultimate expression of a British meat pie, I suggest The Pie Room at Holborn Dining Room. Over 500 types of gin too.

[debm55]

25. Thank you Celerity. I thought it was Loudenberry(sp) pie. That restaurant looks fantastic with all

the pasteries. Thank you so much for posting this.

[Celerity]

28. I am not familiar with that berry

a very common (and jummi!) berry pie here is blåbärspaj (it has bilberries, not blueberries) often med vaniljsås (with vanilla sauce)

Bilberries, or sometimes European blueberries, are a primarily Eurasian species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae), bearing edible, dark blue berries.

[debm55]

46. celerity, I might have spelled it wrong. My MIL was from Finland and would serve as a cobbler with

ice cream and as a pie.

[Celerity]

50. what did the berry look like?

We have something called hjortron (cloudberry) that is very hard to find in large quantities and thus very expensive



we make hjortrontårta on occasion

[debm55]

55. It was a Lingonberry.

[Celerity]

56. Ahhh, yes, of course, we use lingon jam (lingonsylt) on so many different foods

pan fried black pudding (blodpudding) with lingon jam and bacon

Traditional breakfast/brunch meal



Or with köttbullar (Swedish meatballs) and potatismos

[seaglass]

63. Lol, never mind the pie - I want to try the Tarquin's British Blackberry Gin with the Franklin and

Sons Sicilian Lemon Tonic mixer

The pies look awesome too.

[Celerity]

66. that sounds divine (I am a gin girl, along with single malt Scotch, my two favourite liquors)

[rogerballard]

20. OH that meat pie...

Looks divine, it made my mouth water. Mash too!

[debm55]

21. Yes, doesn't it? My mouth was watering looking at both the pictures.

[Wolf Frankula]

22. For fruit pyes

Last edited Mon Feb 20, 2023, 10:22 PM - Edit history (1)

Peach py, Strawberry py and Blueberry py. I don't dislike cherry or apple py. And that dish is spelled p-y.

Wolf

[DBoon]

24. pecan

[Luciferous]

26. Mmm, I love pies! My favorite is chocolate mousse, followed closely by dutch apple.

[nocoincidences]

27. Chess pies.

Chocolate, lemon or buttermilk, I'll eat any of them!

[debm55]

44. Have you tried an Italian pie made with ricotta? It's on the order of cheese cake but more tart.

Delicious.

[nocoincidences]

52. I just need to find someone who will make me one!

I really can't cook.

I did try making chocolate chess pies one year and they weren't bad, but it was a fluke. Most things I try to make are a total disaster!

[lpbk2713]

29. Key Lime.

Second is Custard Pie.

[Tree-Hugger]

30. I hate pie

I hate all pies. Unless you count chicken pot pie. I make plenty of pie for the family, but I have never had a single dessert pie in my life that I have liked.

[NNadir]

31. If vanilla ice cream is available, cherry or blueberry.

Absent vanilla ice cream, banana cream.

[underpants]

32. Ummm

[woodsprite]

33. Top 3: Lemon meringue, cherry, egg custard

I made Paula Deen’s Key Lime pie one time. Hubby had bought me a larger diameter pie shell than the recipe called for. To “fluff it up” I added a cup of shredded coconut. It turned out awesome!

[debm55]

47. Egg custard is very good, too.

[debm55]

49. Sounds great. Do you still make it that way?

[jmowreader]

34. Something probably only I make

It is a lemon meringue pie with Key lime juice instead of lemon juice.

[Different Drummer]

35. So many that I like.

I'd have to say caramel pie is my favorite.

Runners-up, in no particular order:

Lemon meringue
Coconut Cream
French Coconut
Pecan
Sweet Potato
Chocolate
Apple (a la mode)

One type of pie that I like, but didn't expect to when I first tried it, is mincemeat. A person I know is from the UK and she made one for a function we were both attending. Just mentioning it is making me crave a piece of the pie!

[debm55]

48. I never tasted mincemeat. Is it really made from meat? What does it taste like?

[malthaussen]

60. No. Fruit, spices, and suet.

They tend to be very sweet and sticky.

-- Mal

[3catwoman3]

53. Most any berry pie. During summer visits to...

…Keuka Lake, we used to get fruit pies from a local woman a few doors away from our cottage. Every weekend, she would bake 60 pies, and always sold out quickly. She would put berries in with other fruit fillings - peach-blueberry and peach-raspberry were especially scrumptious.

Non-fruit favs - chocolate French silk and lemon supreme from Baker’s Square

[Prairie_Seagull]

54. Lemon w/sour creme frosting and Pecan

[lastlib]

57. 3.14159......

What?

Oh, PIES....!
Never mind......

[malthaussen]

59. Well, cherry if made with real cherries...

... but the processed filler sucks.

-- Mal

[debm55]

61. True, lots of jell but very little amount of cherries.

[yellowdogintexas]

62. fruit pies: cherry or peach custard: coconut cream

If a restaurant has coconut cream pie I am doomed.

I don't know what category they are but I love buttermilk pie~

It isn't really a custard pie so don't know what to call it. The texture and structure of the filling are similar to pecan and chess.

[debm55]

67. I have never heard of buttermilk pie, I really like custard pie.

[PufPuf23]

64. Huckleberry, Lemon Meringue, and Strawberry Rhubarb

I am old, male, and don't bake but buy pie on occasion; usually cherry.

Huckleberry is from Vaccinium ovatum, a common understory shrub in the lower elevation Douglas-fir forests where I live. There are tricks to picking enough of the small berries for a pie: (1) Know when and where to pick, (2) Not pick individual berries but strip berries and some leaves, (3) At home, run the mix down a wire mesh trough with a strong fan underneath, and (4) Fine clean the result to pure prime huckleberries. Pie filling is the huckleberries, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Can't hide if one gets the habit, as will dye your mouth purple.

[debm55]

68. Had huckleberry cobble with ice cream on top. Loved the taste of the huckleberry. I think it was we

went to Yellowstone.

[electric_blue68]

65. In order - Chocolate Cream, Pecan, Apple, Coconut Cream....

For a good while in there was a wonderful -until they got too big quality went down- pie company that made a apple, walnut, sour cream pie. Oh, yum said this Dark Chocolate addict. 😄👍

[debm55]

69. Your list is spot on. the best are homemade. Light chocolate addict here.
