What's your favorite pie?

[Gadfly22]

I stopped going to that shop, not one to put up with such a grumpy proprietor.

Shall we call him the "Pie nazi"?

BTW I vote for Mississippi mud pie. Total chocoholic experience! [Tho I think the best ones are more like an ice cream cake than a pie, nevertheless still good.]

Wot, no savoury pies at all? Steak and Kiddley, Pork, Stargazy? Chinese pie? The Greeks have a rather tasty vegetable one. Perhaps opentops don't count though, you might have to include things like pizza and quiche as well.

Chickens and turkey pot pies as well!

I did mention...

I had a splurge meal of Lobster Pot Pie at Aqua in SF (but sadly, it's now closed).

My sweet pie faves are: Cherry, Key Lime, Pumpkin + a new one: Banofee Pie--I discovered this one on a recent visit to London.

Pecan pie.

Cherry

[+ BOZO T CLOWN]

For eating, Bozo's favourites are chocolate cream and banana cream.

 

For tossing in peoples' faces - blueberry, huckleberry, and cherry work best.

I recently read on some internet blog (so it HAS to be true lol) that there is no more pumpkin in canned pumpkin pie filling. Instead Libby and others have developed a squash that looks and tastes like pumpkin but takes less space and water to grow. Saves them a lot of money. For me it doesn’t really matter. By the time I add my pumpkin spices (not pumpkin spice), eggs and condensed milk the importance of the “pumpkin” has diminished a bit.

 

And if you’re looking to make real mincemeat, there’s what appears to be a good recipe on page 44 of the current issue of Taste of Home magazine that among its many ingredients are equal parts meat and rum. Let us know how it comes out.

 

Being from New England, I grew up with squash pie and much prefer it to pumpkin:) and REAL mincemeat (with venison) is an all time FAVORITE, back in the day, I had a student I helped a lot and his Mother would gift me several quarts of REAL mincemeat --

I too grew up in New England and the big family feasts always included both squash and pumpkin pies together with apple and pecan. Mincemeat was relegated to wonderful crust covered squares. I’d forgotten how much I liked squash pie. Thanks @HornyRetiree.

I'm a pie lover but pumpkin pie is my least favorite -- for some reason pumpkin always tastes soapy to me. When I was growing up a distant relative always brought a mincemeat pie for the family Thanksgiving Dinner. She made it with venison and it was to die for. Unfortunately when she died she took the recipe with her. Would love to find a recipe.

@Epigonos I believe the recipe I cited in post 44 above might interest you. As I remember, it calls for chopped beef but I suspect you could substitute venison.

Everyone always raved about my mother's cherry pies, however my favorites were her chocolate meringue, and banana meringue pies.

I like pie.....almost any flavour..... any berry pie. I often find pecan too sweet.

Pumpkin pie, apple pie, rhubarb.....all good! ?

 

In my reflecting on this question-- I like almost any, not too sweet, pie and don't particularly have a favorite.
