Homebrew Do people in your game world put cheese on their apple pies??

[Umbran]

Let me ask you something about your home brewed campaigned worlds. Do people in your world put cheese on their apple pies??

I don't think I have referenced "apples" as even existing, much less apple pie with cheese.

 

[Alas]

In my Eberron, cheese on your apple pie is definitely a central Karrnath thing. (The other nations definitely give them grief over it.)

Even if apples exit, no reason to suppose they are being baked into pies. They are a cultural thing, European, and only go back around 500 years.

Tiramisu tastes terrible.

Deliciously terrible. Oh, so deliciously terrible.

Northeastern United States, it's not uncommon.

Native New Yorker here; have never heard of this and it's appalling. Mongo is appalled.

I can think of quite a few adventures that mention Apples, Sunless Citadel features them, Phandalin has an Apple orchard and even Curse of Strahd makes passing mention of them.

I've had PCs explore a haunted Apple Orchard, and a Wassailing of the Apples is an annual festival in one of the main towns.

Getting into that level of minutiae is not common in my group. Ordering at a restaurant is not what I would normally call peak gaming, unless it's somehow related to a plot or development.

Same here. I ran a cyberpunk campaign where the player characters often met at a restaurant called Sushi Train. Their signature dish was a deep fried roll smothered in country gravy. My current Greyhawk campaign has a group of monks called the Fat Boys who are dedicated to gastronomical adventures.

I don't actually like apple pie, but I've known about having a slice of cheese on them since I was a kid. I think maybe I've seen one person eat it that way my entire life.

14th century in England so closer to 650 years

But apples originate in central Asia (The city of Almaty, Kazakhstan claims to be 'Father of Apples") and have been eaten there for maybe 8000 years including in an 'apple cake' which is a flat and pie-like

Apple pie is attested with recorded recipes back to the 14th century. We are now in the 21st century, so you're off by a couple hundred years there.

Apples were domesticated something like 4,000+ years ago, in Central Asia.

Sure.

But the question isn't whether people put cheese on apple pie in published adventures, so...
