All answers are valid, except pecan. Fuck pecan pie, it’s gross.
It’s hard to pick just one, but Cherry Cream Cheese just edges into the top spot for me.
Second is sweet potato.
Key Lime Pie until the day I die.
Shoofly made with Turkey table syrup instead of molasses.
Funny cake is a close second, it more depends if I want a browned sugar or chocolate flavor.
In honor of the upcoming Tau Day I shall choose 2 pis
Chicken Pot and Chocolate Cream
Peach cobbler, hot, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Chocolate Mousse for me. Delicious.
Wait. That’s a cheese cake disguised as a pie!
No eggs, and it’s not cooked, so not cheese cake. Although, since cheese cake is cake in name only (CINO), it counts as a pie.
As long as it’s done well, I love any kind of pie!
This is the correct answer. Full points.
The Programmer’s Pie. It’s a lot like Shepherd’s Pie, but for programmers.
(My other valid answer: Lemon Meringue Pie)
Used to live near Marie Callander’s restaurants. They had a German chocolate pie, which I want to say had a layer of solid chocolate, then a chocolate custard/coconut shavings filling, and you could have either whipped cream or meringue on it with mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top (I always opted for meringue). Best pie I’ve ever had.
Do you have a recipe for this criminally good-looking Cherry Cream Cheese Cake?
Nah. I suspect it might be AI, but it looked so good, I used the picture anyway.
I’m waiting for Tau day. Better to wait and have twice as much pi.
In my household we have something we call expired-pie. The name comes from my GF accidentally using this tin of ham that was two years past expired, instead of the one I’d just bought for the recipe. It turned out great and nobody got sick. Then we discovered the accident.
Also, it is my firm belief that a properly made cheesecake is a type of pie.
I agree, cheesecake is pie, because it doesn’t include flour, which all true cakes must have. It’s CINO, cake in name only.
Canned food is typically good for years past the date on the can. Trust your nose!
Yup, none of us were worried upon the discovery. The can was intact, and it had been stored in the fridge all this time, just forgotten in the back. My GF didn’t noticed that the one I had bought for her to use was still in the bag, so she’d assumed it was the one in the fridge.
The only sad aftermath was the conclusion that we couldn’t eat a proper pie like that again without waiting a couple of years.
Pizza pie!
I was waiting for this, although, I think it’s PINO, pie in name only. But, it’s hard to say “no” to a good pizza pie!
pecan pie is gross
I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you’ve only had access to poorly made pecan pie.
To your question, I prefer savory pies like chicken pot pie or cottage pie.
Apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese
