thejazz97 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi all. With Thanksgiving coming up within the next few months here, I'd like to take the time to appreciate pie. Not 3.14, which in a very cool way translates backwards in to 4.13, or PIE, if you like making words with old calculators (I see you, former 8th Graders). But pie. Mmm. Ohh yeah. I love me some pie. Pie is accepted essentially everywhere, as it is freaking amazing. Contrary to popular he origins of pie started a long time ago... In the beginning, before the world was born... God created the heavens and the earth... and pie! The pie remained hidden, buried in the ground for eons untold only to found by some poor Celtic sheep farmer named Meringuini who found himself in 300s BC Italy. Not knowing quite what it was, he took a bite... and instantly became rich with gold and every other kind of wealth imaginable!! This new pastry spread quickly, and was eaten by famous people such as Julius Caesar (Brutus wanted that pie a bit too much), Cleopatra (offed herself because she thought she ate the last piece of pie), Gutenberg (where he got the inspiration for the printing press), John Lennon (they didn't say give peace a chance, they said give that piece a chance), and even modern-day heroes such as John Mayer and Kim Jong Un. In fact, the controversial Holy Grail is in reality, pie. It was served at the famous Last Supper. Leonardo da Vinci, in a lost journal, praised its health benefits. And now we eat pie today. Because it is freaking awesome. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy life while eating a piece of delicious pie! Link to comment

elvis15 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Kahlua pecan with vanilla ice cream, or pumpkin with whipped cream for me for thanksgiving. Outside of that, mom's apple pie or maybe a nice strawberry rhubarb (vanilla ice cream of course) any other time. Here's a question, are crumble's closer to pies or cakes? Link to comment
Mike Vanderhoek Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Just had key lime pie and lemon meringue pie last night ! Link to comment

Closer to pies I would like to believe. They are sooooo yum. Link to comment
-AJ- Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Either meat or some sort of pudding pie does it for me. Otherwise, I'm pretty picky when it comes to pies. Link to comment
pmalina Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hmm, this is one I like the most - kiwi pie. Link to comment
RonMexico Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Peach pie is the best. The kind with a crumble topping and sour cream in the filling. We had this every summer growing up. Banana cream ranks a close second. Link to comment

Offensive Threat Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 my Mom makes a apple pie that is amazing. Ive tried to get a decent apple pie at restaurants and even the best places pale in comparison. Places famous for their pie suck badly. Its sad. Link to comment
Chalky Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The only aspect of pie I don't like is sharing. Link to comment

thejazz97 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 favs pumpkin apple banana cream chocolate coconut berrie pie(mix or single all equal imo) least favs meat anything with lemon I'm huge into Lemon meringue. Pumpkin, apple, and cherry are all really good. Not really a fan of meat pies either, unless it's like shepherd's pie or something along the lines of that... Link to comment
