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. Dammit, you’re right - consider me a chocolate convert Esprix, who used that as a convenient way to side with chocolate, which he much prefers over most other things, including apples, but excepting Asian men * * * [Ask the Gay Guy!](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html) ---

Apple pie and/or cherry pie with ice cream is everyday stuff. Lemon meringue icebox pies made with “DimeBrand” condensed milk and grahm cracker crusts exhalt the name of God. Pecan pies are a hymn of praise. Chocolate pies are the work of the devil. * * * Crystalguy ---

I have a confession to make. Like every patriotic American, I do apple pie (even when someone forgets the ice cream). Like every rational human being, I do chocolate cream pie. And, to make mother happy, I do pumpkin pie when I go home for the holidays. But, every once in a while, I just _have_ to have some lemon cream pie (not lemon meringue; meringue is yucky). So, does that make me a pervert? Am I completely beyond help? ---

Evil, pure evil…apple pie with _ice cream_? Apple pie is eaten only with a wedge of good Cheddar alongside. And the apples should snuggle with good Cognac and nutmeg; cinnamon is much too harsh. So…you people think you can CHOOSE?! Well, apples are fine in their way; blueberries are infinitely better; chocolate and real coconut and key lime are very respectable, but obviously the sublime, suave, ultimate best are fresh raspberries in a tender, buttery shell. (Okay, okay, so a luxurious chocolate mousse in flaky crust is sublime; we’re talking CHOICE here in the Pit!) Besides, the OP lost all credibility when Madonna (Plastic Gravid Icon) co-opted American Pies.
