I feel like pie












I feel like pie. Do you feel like pie. What's your favorite pie. And I am not talking out hair pie so lets keep it clean you Betty Rubble fans. The choices.

All american apple pie.

Cherry pie.

Pumpkin pie

Sweet potato pie.

Humble pie.

Pick the pie of your choice and let me know why you love them.

Oh and Titus "Thirty days in the hole" does not mean what you think it does. Just sayn'

What about Pot Pie?

Funny...you don't look like pie.

Yes I do. I am soft and mushy like a big sweet potato pie. I really have to get into shape.

They are filming What Not To Wear in a couple of weeks and the wife will proably make it on camera since it is a day one shoot. So we are on a strict diet. No soda. No cake. No ice cream. No pasta. No bread. No pizza. No beer. Trooper can't have anything in the house that is on the wife's forbidden list.

That's why I really feel like pie.

Will the voting results be reported on a pie chart?

This pie selection is dreadful. The best pumpkin or sweet potato pie you ever ate is probably not that much different from the worst you ever ate.

Where's Boston Creme, lemon meringue, Key Lime, chocolate banana creme, or pecan pie?

Seriously, it's a sad sad world if your pie selections are limited to your list.

Ok, now why all of a sudden do I feel like having soda, cake, ice cream, pasta, bread, pizza and beer?

Oh, and pie.

Apple, please. :)

When my children were young, one of our favorite weekend activities was making a big, fresh apple pie. It was a recipe from the River Roads Cookbook with Granny Smith apples. The results were always fabulous. A deep dish juicy pie with just the right amount of cinnamon and a perfect flaky crust. Good times and fond memories.

But apple pie isn't my favorite. And I do know something about pies.

So, contrary to some people here, let me state categorically that the Sweet Potato Pie is the paragon of Southern Pieness. It's simple yet elegant and very difficult to master. It is the champion of all pies.

Very, very not so. A pie made from canned pumpkins is entirely different from one made from fresh.

Okay, then let's just say "doesn't taste much better".

Pie is very subjective. I agree that Lemon meringue and pecan deserve to be in the mix but I can only post so many photo's so I had to limit it. I needed one semi savory pie and did consider chicken pot pie. But sweet potato made the cut. I always need a twist so Humble Pie made the cut because the music is Hot and Nasty.

But Jason I am surprised at you. I would never choose Boston Creme. Because as I have told you many times, Boston Sucks.

If it helps, the Boston Creme Pie was invented by a Frenchman. The same place invented Parker House Rolls. I love them both!

I would agree that Boston sucks, but that the suckiness only became firmly established in the 20th century, especially after it underwent "urban renewal" in the 50s.

Trooper York said...

Boston Creme Pie never rocked my socks. It's just a creme pie with chocolate on it. Big fucking deal. Now I totally agree with you about pecan pie. I love pecan pie. It is so sweet. I always get it for Thanksgiving and end up eating the whole thing myself because everyone else has a sugar problem.

There is this dude who made a big business out of lemon meringue pies here in Brooklyn. He started baking them and marketing them to restuarants and joints in Downtown Brooklyn. He bought an old fashioned delivery truck to promote his pies. He used to hang out at Sam's Waterfront Ale House on Atlantic where we had the Althouse commenters meetup last year when the professor was in Brooklyn. I bet he stills hangs out there. Anyway everyone made a big fuss about his pies. Don't get me wrong, they were good but not worth all the hype. But he made a good business out of it and I really admire that.

If anything sucks more than Bostom, it is those snail sucking, pussy licking Frenchmen. Or is it snail licking, pussy sucking?

The combination of sweet and tart in a well made apple pie is the best. But well made is always home made when it comes to apple pie. I've never tasted a store bought apple pie that quite pulls it off, even the pricey brands. That's why so many people don't appreciate what apple pie can be. A lifetime of store bought or, worse yet, diner apple pies have ruined the dish for most.

Darcy said...

That is exactly right, ricpic. Homemade apple pie is like heaven. Warm...with ice cream.

Hungry now.

Jason (the commenter) said...

Warm...with ice cream.

That's more pornographic than any of those Betty Ruble Pictures. I need to make pie!

blake said...

Yeah, she's a seductress.

Darcy said...

Hmmm. Really? :)
