You see it around here so much: “when come back, bring pie?”
“Did you bring pie?”
Ad infinitum.
So - what’s **your** favorite pie?
I love all the fruit pies, but my favorite pie is banana cream. Yummmmmm!

I could really go for a nice slice of French Silk pie right now. With a big glass of cold milk. Mmmm…

I’ll see both those pies and raise you a cherry and/or a peach pie a la mode.

After my heart, you are. Cherry, among all the novelty pies, is the absolute King (and/or Queen) of pies, IMHO.

I’m with Boney. Meat pies are to die for. I have a meat pie recipe that you probably would die for, it’s soooo goooood.
But if it has to be sweet, then make it a pumpkin pie. No berries or anything inordinately sweet. Nothing mushy. And I positively hate apple pies.

Chess Pie. I never see it anymore; I need to learn to make it. It’s a little like a pecan pie without the pecans, except you use sugar, not corn syrup. It can also be flavored with chocolate or lemon.
I love good old-fashioned pecan pie, too.
Any type of custard pie is yummy, as well.
I despise goo pies. You know, fruit pies with that runny corn syrup/artificial flavor/color shite.

Oh, man! How to choose?
Cherry

Key lime
Lemon meringue
Chocolate
Pumpkin
Peach

I have always wanted to try Key Lime Pie - can anyone explain to me what it tastes like? Is it tangy? Sweet??

Oh, yeah - I haven’t had one in _years_ - like, since I lived in Florida! If there’s one thing that will get me ranting & raving, it’s when someone tries to pass off one of those green-food-coloring-doctored-cheesecake-monstrosity-imposters as “Key Lime Pie”!!
Clue One, you morons: Key Limes aren’t **green**!! They’re almost yellow!
Oh, and it’s supposed to be _meringue_ on top, not _ **whipped cream** _!!! :mad:
(Suit yourself on the pastry vs. graham-cracker crust issue. I’m not totally inflexible.)
**Missy2U** , a **true** Key Lime Pie is very much like a lemon meringue pie, except that the Key Lime has a more delicate flavor than lemons. Or limes. It’s - hard to describe. And worth a trip to the Keys to get, for sure.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Love me some pie right about now. I like blueberry, strawberry, key lime (if nice and tart), apple (just as Mrs. Elendil’s Heir makes it), cheese (ditto), and pecan (more gooey than nutty for me, please).
