  • I come from England-a country that loves pie. But we love it in a different way to America. New and unfamiliar pies entered both my life and my fridge after I moved to America. Here are four of them.

    One of the great things about pumpkin pie is that unless it is fresh and warm, you can hold it like a slice of pizza -- no plate or fork required. So satisfying to simply open the fridge, lift out a slice, and eat it right away without needing to dirty a dish or fork.

    Best piece of pie I’ve ever eaten was after a hot day in Hawaii walking around a cute little town that calls itself the westernmost town in the world. They were having a street art festival, and someone who said he was the mayor of the town was playing a ukulele. I got a piece of key lime pie from a street vendor at a booth and ate it under a palm tree with a slight breeze floating past me. Maybe it was the magic of the day. Or maybe it was the pie. But I have never had such a delicious piece of pie since

      Key limes are like Champagne... legally only grown in a certain region of the world. Key limes are from the Florida Keys, and in short supply, so if you have REAL Key lime pie in Hawaii, you had a true treat! Most "key lime pie" is made from regular limes... but just calling something "lime pie" puts people off, so anyone who sells it adds "key" to the front of it and people can't get enough. A slice of "key" lime pie on a hot day is indeed ambrosia! And a mango "key" lime pie will change your life!

    I never tried pecan pie until I was in my mid 30’s. It looks gross. I thought the pecans were throughout rather than just on top. And it just looks like burnt nuts on a snot filling.

    My grandpa was a big fan of pie. Anytime we went out to eat anywhere he'd order pie for dessert, whatever was available. But if pie wasn't on the menu dessert was pointless, in his eyes. On holidays he'd bake an apple pie using apples from his apple tree for all of us to share.
    When he passed many people came to his funeral and we found a caterer to deliver a total of fifty pies in these varieties: apple, pecan, pumpkin, blueberry, peach, blackberry, strawberry rhubarb, and lemon meringue. We had lots of leftovers but it was glorious celebrating him this way. When I bake a pie or eat a slice, I think of him.

One thing I've learned is, if you want some foods done right, better do it yourself.🤭

      @Bio Kimistry Maw' used to cook "fruit sh*t"... It starts with crushed pineapple (or chunks if you prefer more texture) and applesauce. You stew it up like you're trying to make a pie filling for canning later, so once hot, add the "fruit of choice" and cook thoroughly, adding a bit of cornstarch at the end to thicken the stuff...
      She started it because she was actually trying to can pie fillings for later, rather than just freeze the fruit and make the filling on the spot (I prefer to do that)... AND she ended up with a semi-gelatinous... erm... sweet-fruity hot mess. SO she served it to us kids over oatmeal on winter mornings. You CAN add sugar (to taste) but you obviously don't have to... It was a culinary disaster (as pie goes) but worked out well to get my little brother hooked on oatmeal (when he first tried it, he'd gag)... SO every winter we would indulge in "fruit sh*t"... Yes, we even had it with rhubarb (she was a fan of the stuff) and it wasn't half bad. ;o)

    If you love pecan pie, you'll adore its less crunchy sister, sugar pie, which is basically just a very rich vanilla custard set in pastry.
    On the fruitier side of things, here in Minnesota and other northern states, we adore a two-fruit seasonal favorite from late spring through summer and early fall. I use the term "fruit" loosely here because one is technically a vegetable, the edible stalk of a large leaf plant originally native to Russia. The pie is strawberry-rhubarb, and it is phenomenal. If you haven't tried it yet, ask for it at any independent restaurant or bakery. Your taste buds will thank you.

      Both are made with eggs, condensed milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Canned pumpkin(Which is what most people use to make pumpkin pie) isn't even pumpkin, it's actually a mix of various squashes.
      I too am American, I've lived in the South for 30 years, and when I first tried sweet potato pie, my first impression was that it tasted like pumpkin pie. And I also suspect it is because of the spices used.

I said that what I would really like is a key lime pie. She found a recipe online. We had a couple of friends over, and no one but me even knew what it was, though everyone enjoyed it. Four people finished the entire pie that evening.

      We call that a Chocolate Pecan Pie. There are two versions served at my church:
      Pecan pie with chocolate chips mixed into the middle
      Pecan pie with unsweetened cocoa powder mixed into the middle
      Kids gravitate to the first one, adult foodies to the second.
      Try both; choose your favorite.

    I figured I'd throw in my own life's pie experience. One my mom often makes is strawberry-rhubarb pie. So many dessert pies go with the plan of sweetness on top of more sweetness. And while I personally love sweet things, for people who prefer slightly less sweet or for just a break to avoid sweetness overload, then adding rhubarb to accentuate the sweet with a bit of tart is just so good.

    Believe it or not, there's no pie in Germany. If you want to make one yourself, you won't be able to find the baking pan for it. Last Christmas a German family member made me a traditional apple pie. She had the recipe spot-on, it was great. But she made it in a German tort pan so the shape was wrong. Everyone asked how I liked it and if it was authentic and I said it's perfect except that the crust is too vertical. American pies have a 45 degree angle to the crust. I think they were amazed at how German (critical) I've become, but I had to tell the truth.
