1. Pie

But I rarely buy one and never bake one. Blueberry, Coconut custard, cherry, lemon meringue, apple, mince-apple.

You ask a lot of questions around here, are you part of Big Data?

[debm55]

5. No, I am not a part of big Data , whatever that is. I like asking questions. I am sorry you feel that way about me.

[LakeArenal]

30. You don't have to answer.

[debm55]

33. Thank you , Lake Arenal

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Excuse me?

The question was a bit of light sarcasm, and I think it's been taken in a different way than intended. Of course I know she's not part of Big Data. I'm not saying there are too many questions. My apologies to any offended by my subtle humor.

[LakeArenal]

45. 😉🤗

[Walleye]

2. Gotta admit I really like a good chocolate cake

[debm55]

11. TY Walleye. Yes a good chocolate is great.

[yellowdogintexas]

60. I make a mean chocolate pound cake. It is our traditional family holiday cake.

When it comes to cake, it is hard to beat a well made chocolate pound cake

[onecaliberal]

3. Blueberry Pie is my fav. I am a chocoholic as well though.

[debm55]

10. TY onecaliberal.

[Think. Again.]

4. Yes.

Please.

[debm55]

7. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, Ty Think Again. Funny

[Irish_Dem]

6. Most pies are just in the vegetable and fruit category.

Not really a dessert. Just a fancy salad.

[debm55]

8. True. Ty Irish_Dem.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Just my opinion.

[debm55]

18. Ty you Irish Dem for your opinion. It is welcomed.

[MiHale]

14. Thank you Mihale.

[C_U_L8R]

[rsdsharp]

16. I do not discriminate. Either (except maybe pumpkin pie).

Or both — Boston cream pie.

[debm55]

19. Ty rsdsharp. Bostpn Cream Pie is delicious

[LakeArenal]

31. Boston cream. Pie? Cake?

I vote cake. I’m also born in Boston.

[love_katz]

17. Pie.

In the cake category I like cheesecake. For pie I love marrionberry, cherry, apple crunch, chocolate, key lime, and pumpkin. Pie equals bliss.

[debm55]

taking pills for the pain. I dpn't like them as they make me so sleepy as I also take anti depressants and sleeping pills,
thank you for asking. I think ,I put an update on the post.
ty enid602

[enid602]

46. TY

Yes, spinal degeneration is unfortunately so common among my friends; the 70ish set. Hoping yore doing well,

[yellowdogintexas]

61. I love wedding cake! except not a fan of fondant icing

I have a couple of recipes for white cake which produce a nice white 2 layer cake. Delicious.
Frost them with ermine buttercream.

[enid602]

71. Cake

Sounds good! And standing around all dressed up, swilling punch and eating cake. Doesn’t get better.

[GreenWave]

28. One I would like to tryI

This almond cake is called "Tarta de Santiago".

[debm55]

36. Oh that looks wonderful. My mouth is watering. I wonder what it taste like. TY GreenWave

[yellowdogintexas]

Nothing like a homemade apple or cherry or blueberry pie or homemade chocolate cake.

I also make a fabulous Polish poppyseed cake with an almond-orange glaze. I’m going to make it for Easter.

Now I’m getting hungry!

[debm55]

35. My grandmother used to make the poppyseed cake with a glaze. Loved it. So I guess it's both for me. ty, Diamond_Dog.

[CelticCrow]

41. My mother did this as well

My mother had a lemon poppyseed cake with a lemon glaze that was kind of her thing to make when taking things to friends houses. It was a childhood fave...

[LakeArenal]

32. I"m all CAKE. Mr Lake all pie.

Not coconut.

[debm55]

34. Opposites attract, I like a raspberry torte. Ty. LakeArenal

[AllaN01Bear]

38. both .

[debm55]

40. TY AllaN01Bear. Enjoy them both.

[SARose]

43. Blackberry Jam Cake

Pecan pie - Puh kahn not pee can.😂Or Texas chocolate sheet cake - like a brownie with fudge frosting.

[CTyankee]

44. Puh-kahn is how it is pronounced in Texas and it is the state tree.

[debm55]

53. TY SARose. I have had Texas chocolate sheet cake. Delicious. Enjoy both.

[yellowdogintexas]

62. Blackberry Jam Cake Are you from Kentucky?

I am, and we always had a jam cake at Christmas. I have read that it is a Kentucky thing.
And it is definitely puhkahn pie

[SARose]

65. We do too

No, I’m from Texas but have ancestors from Appalachia. 👍My Grandmother and my Mother made this for Christmas every year. Do you use jam for the icing?

[yellowdogintexas]

73. My mom put jam between the layers. Caramel cooked frosting

and boiled custard on the side

[Different Drummer]

48. Hmm...if I had to choose...

I'd take both!

[debm55]

54. When I rethought the question I decided on both. TY Different Drummer.

[limbicnuminousity]

49. If you divide the universe that way...

cobbler is on the pie side, so it's no contest. The side with home-made peach cobbler wins.

[debm55]

55. I forgot to post cobbler in OP, Darn it. TY

[OldBaldy1701E]

50. Peach Cobbler! Oh wait...

Umm... I have to say cake. Five layer chocolate like my grandmother used to make. Or her pineapple upside down cake... or her angel food cake... or... (I had this weird situation in my combined family. My mother's mother was the confectionist, but was not the best 'meat and potatoes' preparer, and my father's mother was the opposite. She did not do many desserts, but her biscuits were a dessert in themselves...)

[debm55]

56. Oh OldBaldy1701E, your family meals,and desserts sound wonderful. TY

[chowmama]

51. Me? Pie. DH? Cake.

I guess it's a mixed marriage.

But we'll both eat either. Sunday will be pineapple upside down cake.

[debm55]

57. HAHAHAHAHAHA that's funny about the mixed marriage. I haven't eaten pineapple upside down cake. in a long time. I loved

it. TY chowmama.

[TlalocW]

52. Wondertwin powers... activate!

[debm55]

58. Thank you TialocW

[pansypoo53219]

59. PIE. rhubarb. not into blueberry, until i had blue berry/cranberry pie. blueberry/peach or nectarine better.

i froxe rhubarb so i could make CHERRY/rhubarb.

i use only FROZEN wild blueberries.

[debm55]

67. TY, pansypoo53219. The pies sound delicious,

[pansypoo53219]

70. i mix up jelly/jams too. been adding orange marmalade to stuff. cherry jam too tart.

meh blackberry. blueberry + raspberry.

[yellowdogintexas]

64. When it comes to eating, I will choose pie over cake especially cherry or coconut cream

However, I do not make very good pie. I don't quite have the knack for crust; the filling is no problem

I do bake very nice cakes though and enjoy doing it. My mom taught me to bake cakes from scratch when I was 12 - she let me bake all the Christmas cakes: German Chocolate, Coconut and Blackberry Jam with caramel frosting.

Cake is always tasty but in a restaurant I will get pie.

[debm55]

66. yellowdogintexas, ty, You are so talentedin the baking area.

[WestMichRad]

69. Pi

But e is a pretty cool number, too!

[debm55]

76. HAHAHA ty WestMichRad

[malthaussen]

72. It's situational, but usually pie.

I even had my mother make cherry pie for my birthday. But when it became hard to find canned cherries in supermarkets, we switched to angel food cake with vanilla coconut frosting. That's good stuff, too.

Then again, I had creme brulee topped with assorted berries in a restaurant the other day. The berries were enormous and numerous, and the creme brulee was great. That falls into the "custard" category, apparently.

(I can recommend the Capital Grille in Pittsburgh if your pocketbook can stand it. The lobster bisque was outstanding)

[debm55]

78. Thank you, Mal It sounds delicious. I thought you were going tp recommend the Italian place over at the Waterfront Mall

[beaglelover]

[electric_blue68]

83. Gotta say Cake! Though I like pie, too.

The darker the Chocolate Cake with chocolate icing the better!!!

As for pies:
Chocolate Cream Pie (natch! 😄 )
Pecan Pie
Apple Pie
A then small NYC pie Co made a
sour cream, walnut, apple pie! 👍

I wish I liked key lime pie, but it's too strong for me.

[debm55]
