Let's Talk Pie

I"m not a fan of those quasi-inedible berry pies. They taste good...until you realize they contain unchewable seeds.

Yeah, like the Blackberry. Don't like those seeds, even though the pie itself is decent.

Key lime, hands down.

Basically, yeah. Generally, it's some sort of ground meat (I've usually had beef or pork) with various other fillings in a pie shell. It's quite good, generally very filling. Rather like a quiche, actually, only meatier. Generally we call 'em shepherd's pies, here, though.

Shepherd's Pie has a potato topping, an Australian / British meat pie has pastry.

Perhaps I learned wrong, then, but I always called a meat pie with a pastry shell a shepherd's pie.

^ How is that different from a pot pie?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Key lime, hands down.

You know, I feel like that pie should be the unofficial national pie of Canada. Seem liked every place there has it on their menu.

Don't get me wrong, I like key lime pie as much as the next guy. But, give me a cherry pie any day of the week!

Warm blueberry pie with whipped cream on top.

You don't "chew" those tiny, tiny seeds. You simply swallow them. DUH.....

But, you're chewing the yummy goodness of the berry. Suddenly, there's the unexpected crunch of the seed. You didn't see it coming, and now it's jammed between two of your molars, and you've entered the 'oh god why' zone of eating said pie. There's just not enough warning to swallow the seeds before they become little bombs waiting to crack your teeth.

Not pleasant, not at all.

Remember Andie McDowell singing "Pie, pie, I love pie . . ." in John Travolta's "Angel?"

I've never met a pie I didn't like and if Mr.OldstRedShrtEver brings home pie on bad days it's enough to make me sing it . . .

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Weebl and Bob also love pie.

My favorite is lemon meringue.

Forgot about these yummy pies, and last night brought 4 mini lemon meringes. Ate 2 last night.

It's kind of like the Pop Corn experience. It tastes good, and then something gets stuck in the teeth and it takes a few days to get out. Then it makes you wonder if it was worth the experience in the long run or not.
