[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3202196, member: 14041"] SIGH (doing a lot of that today) - all you people from other countries who naturally assume that "pie" has a "savory" or "meat" catagory don't know how lucky you have it! As a Southern US boy I love meat pies and all that are generally available are nasty frozen things and almost always only chicken (unless you count "Hot Pocket" type things which are sometimes OK, but not the same at all IMO). Fortunatelly, I have a British Mother-in-Law (who doesnt make near enough meat pies BTW) and there are some Mediterranian places around that do variations on the savory pie thing. As for pies, I second Chess Pie and Key Lime Pie (or is that 3rd?) and peanut butter pies. Although it is a bit heretical I dont care for pecan pie (and that is "peh-chon" not "PEE-cAn" .Say it that second way and we know that you are one of those people from some place "up North"- like South Carolina). Overall I would rather have Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. For those who might not know Cobbler is sort of like pie, but with the crust only on top and ranging from pie crusty to more cakey. In order I prefer: Blackberry, Peach, Apple, and otherwise. Oh, and my wife would want to say two things were she here: 1) Strawberries do not go into Rhubarb Pie, Heretics! 2) Mince Meat in nice.
