Okay, whoosh me if necessary, but this thread is making my brain hurt. What am I missing? If this is a reference to goings-on in another thread, could someone please point me there?

I don’t like to stir up a heated debate like this too much because I’m very much a “to each his own” type person. And, I do believe that each person should be able to choose whatever dessert he or she sees fit. But, I really prefer **chocolate cream pie** , not that there is anything _wrong_ with apple. I like apple. It’s just that the chocolate cream has a something that the apple lacks (mainly chocolate). I don’t look down on the apple people, having a slice of apple, or even blueberry, is their right (although those rhubarb people are a bit extreme), but IMHO chocolate is the only pie I can justify. ---

I don’t know about that, Rousseau. You get just one person in here arguing the merits of pastries, or even _gasp_ cake over pies and this could turn pretty heated. We’d better leave it here, just in case. ---

My grandmother makes the best blueberry pie in the whole world!! Oh, and mincemeat! Whatever the hell that is. No actual meat in hers, I don’t believe, but I do remember white raisins. Then again, my Aunt Freida’s coconut creme pie… ewwwwwww (talk about an abortion!). ---

They used to serve chocolate cream pie in the lunchroom in my junior high school, but nobody ate it because it was crunchy, and that’s not right. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Esprix: > \*\* I take exception to your sanctimonious tone!

But I cannot bring myself to _celebrate_ them. To forgo chocolate for mere apples. Those apples will not have a happy life. They will be abused. Cut by an unsympathetic hand, forced to live squished together with many other apples in a tiny pie plate, and then, finally, cast aside and forced into an oven. Then, once taken away from the cruel baker, they will be passed from hand to hand and plate to plate, never having a chance of feeling ‘at home’, never able to put down roots. How could you people do that to a poor apple? Chocolate has none of these disadvantages. ---

For the cost of one cup of coffee a day…Nevermind! French Silk pie from Village Inn! And if you are going to put any icecream on apple pie it need to be cinnimon icecream. Right about now children would be safer in the oven then out and about where freaks on the street can prey on them. But that is my own little mini-drama.
