PIE POLL

[What Would Jesus Do?]

My grocery store is having a sale on Marie Callender Pies.

If you could only have 3 flavors for the rest of your life, which 3 would you choose?

Naturally, you get the variation you want (lattice, Dutch, cobbler, etc...).

I don't believe I've ever had her pies ... is this a poor Southern thing? I thought you guys were big on your fresh pies?

I don’t know anything about MC pies, but a good key lime is awesome. Also like a good pecan pie.

Key Lime tops my ranking, but sometimes I can't handle that much sweet and sour in one serving. Which seldom keeps me from eating half a pie in one sitting.

Cherry is a favorite since childhood (several centuries ago), preferably hot with vanilla ice cream on it.

After that, it's a tough call, but I went with pumpkin. Tasty, and probably better for you than anything else on the list (as if that matters). I'll take that with whipped cream or ice cream.

Loaded with sugar, fat and flavor. I had never heard of them a decade or so ago, but they are right up there with the top labels for taste, and some would say they are better (because, you know, sugar, fat and flavor).

Only 10 options allowed for these polls, so I didn't include rhubarb pie. It probably wouldn't have made my cut but it's darn good. Often seen as strawberry-rhubarb pie, giving strawberry flavor and sweetness to go with rhubarb's tartness.

What other lesser known pies do you like?

 

[Moogy]

I'm not a pie guy. I only have pies on Thanksgiving, and then it's typically apple pie with some vanilla ice cream. My kids like pumpkin pie and I believe I did, too, as a kid, but it's no longer my thing. Haven't even tried most varieties. Wait, I almost forgot ... the wife sometimes, as a "quick" dessert option for the kids, would make a chocolate pie, or a banana pudding pie on occasion. Banana pudding would get the nod from me, I guess.

Blackberry of course.

I picked apple, chocolate, and other. For the chocolate, I would be specifically choose the French Silk pie from Village Inn, which is the best pie known to mankind. For "other" I'll nominate Boston Cream Pie, though I have mixed thoughts as to whether it is a pie or a cake.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Key lime and chocolate are our current leaders.

 

[dpic73]

If I could only have key lime, lemon meringue and pumpkin pie for the rest of my life, I'd be perfectly happy with it. Though I really like lemon meringue, it has sentimental value because my mom made it a lot when I was a kid but it would come in third.

Uh, for the last few decades, that's been shaved, waxed or lasered pie.
