Regarding my [pie poll](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6781), I went with the [Atlantic Beach pie](https://www.seriouseats.com/atlantic-beach-pie-recipe-11787091?kw=myrecipes) even though it lost the poll. I went by the “coin flip” rule, where I decided based on how I felt about the result rather than the result itself. I felt happy when I saw that the Atlantic Beach pie started off with an early lead, and disappointed that key lime ultimately won by a 2 to 1 margin. Therefore, I made the Atlantic Beach pie. It’s in the oven right now. I’ll let you know how it turns out when I eat it tomorrow.
