13. Mine....

I make awesome pies...meat, fruit, veggies, or filling.
For example..chocolate amaretto, chocolate peanut banana, lemon raspberry, lemon chess, sweet potato chicken, venison, hunters (whatever was cleaned and brought in), depression pie (a cheese, onion potato pie).

I had to laugh when I saw the movie Waitress. My pie making is so like hers. I swear hubby married me for my pies.

[hedgehog]

14. I want a recipe for that depression pie!

[lovemydog]

15. all of the above

But I picked banana cream for this poll 'cause it needed some love.

[mnhtnbb]

16. Turtle Pie

OMG. Many different recipes, but all include chocolate, caramel, and nuts.

[mrmpa]

17. Peach Pie, just had a slice after my dinner............

it's 4:09 here on the east coast, and I start work at 5 p.m. and work till 3 a.m. (my choice) so I had dinner at 2 p.m. BTW the pie was delicious!

[MissMillie]

18. mine too

followed very closely by strawberry rhubarb

[mrmpa]

42. I love a pure rhubarb pie...........

I can find them sometimes at our local grocery store. They had them on sale for a month last year, got one and it was delicious.

[Petrushka]

19. Lemon meringue.

Tart & sweet . . . with a cup of steaming Darjeeling tea. Oh, yeah!

[Staph]

28. Me, too!

We're having family over for their choice of lemon meringue pie and/or Dutch apple pie tonight, to celebrate Pi Day. It's the perfect intersection of the sets of dessert lovers and math geeks!

[HeiressofBickworth]

31. Oh, yeah.....

Lemon Meringue. Sigh......... another food that's off my dietary guidelines.

I think I'll go to my corner and cry for a while.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Italian Easter Pie

Ohmnomnomnomnom...

[LiberalEsto]

37. Is that the kind with rice in it?

I had some many years ago. It was really good.

[GoCubsGo]

41. No.

This one is made with ricotta cheese as its base. It also has hard-boiled eggs, and some sort of meat in it. My grandma always made them with Italian sausage. Some people use ham or salami, or a mixture of those and maybe other Italian-style meats.

[LiberalEsto]

44. The one I tried was very different

It was some kind of slightly sweet ricotta cheese and rice in a regular pie crust.

[GoCubsGo]

47. This one is like a big calzone.

The crust is basically a pizza crust, rather than the flaky kind one finds in a regular pie crust. The sweet one sounds yummy, too. Sounds a little bit of canolis.

[JeffHead]

21. Pi in the Sky

[shenmue]

23. I like cobbler even better than pie

Mmmm, apple cobbler.

[csziggy]

24. I can't believe no one's mentioned PECAN PIE!

My recipe: follow the recipe on the back of a Karo Syrup bottle, but cut the sugar in half, add a pinch of salt, double or triple the vanilla and increase the pecans.

[trof]

25. Pecan. And it's 'puh-KAHN'.

Not PEE-can.
Not pee-kahn.
It's puh-KAHN.

We grow 'em down here and we know how you say it.
And it's the best.
Period.

[Brigid]

26. Cherry pie.

Now I gotta go out and find some.

[chknltl]

27. Freshly picked Mountain Blackberry pie or cobbler.

Served right out of the oven hot with a generous amount of vanilla ice cream.
(Disagree? Fine, that means there is more for me then!)

[charlie and algernon]

32. What time should I arrive?

I'll be right over!

[chknltl]

39. Regarding the little Mountain Blackberry

I just did a little research and discovered that it is a precious berry indeed! I have always preferred it over the other two Blackberries but I had no idea that it is something of a delicacy. Chef's prize them for their bitter/sweet flavor and I read where pickers can get 30$ a quart for them. (btw, I once got 50$ a quart from a Chef for wild Huckleberries which became a sauce for a salmon dish). The Mountain Blackberry grows wild in my area of the Pacific Northwest, becoming available in July and lasting only a couple of weeks or so. We have them on our property and I generally get perhaps a gallon a season but they always get eaten immediately. I used to get the afore mentioned Wild Mountain Blackberry Pie up at the Copper Creek Restaurant decades ago and it always was my favorite (by far) pie. My mother would make a cobbler of them too, it was a far better cobbler than the ones she would make with the regular Blackberries, either would indeed be served right out of the oven and always with vanilla ice cream. Now that I have learned a bit just now about my favorite little berry I can hardly wait to start harvesting them this summer for pies and cobblers. Some wild Huckleberry jam sounds good too.

[llmart]

29. Lemon Meringue

n/t

[elleng]

30. Strawberry AND Rhubarb pie!!!

[baldguy]

33. Mmmmmm...

[LWolf]

34. Marionberry pie. or Boysenberry.

Warm, with homemade vanilla ice cream.

Followed by:

Pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheese cake, key lime pie, chocolate pie.

[Arkansas Granny]

35. Other. I tend to agree with my dad who said that there are only two kinds of pie.

Hand pie and saucer pie. Hand pie had a filling that was dense enough that it could be eaten out of hand and the rest had to be served on a saucer.

He also said that there are only two kinds of cake. Iced and un-iced.

[LiberalEsto]

36. Be-Bop a Re-Bop Rhubarb Pie!

With strawberries

[PasadenaTrudy]

40. Lemon creme

Not meringue...creme!

[Fairgo]

43. A Life of Pie

I always have cherry pie for my birthday. My wife and I went in search of pie on the blue highways of Wisconsin. She always ordered rhubarb. We've had crawfish pie in Houma Louisiana, chess pie in New orleans, key lime in Pensacola, and white pie at a cinder block diner in Little Egypt. Recently, We traveled to the far side of the Blue mountains just to sample the beef curry pies in a cozy tearoom in the Megalon Valley. Home- made pies, and storebought pies, and diner pies and that pie I won in a fund raiser...But the best slice was that second piece of pumpkin pie I had at midnight on Thanksgiving, sitting with a friend, in the dark, with a glass of milk.
