PIE!!!!

Has anyone seen the trailers for Waitress? Pies, galore! I think some of you need to see this movie! 

This month's Delicious magazine has the recipes for 'I Don't Want Earl's Baby Pie,' 'Earl Murders Me 'Cause I'm Having an Affair Pie,' and 'A Love Potion Pie.' Any takers?

The "I don't want Earl's baby" pie sounds good!

Oooooooh, we have our first ascetic pie-free existence voter...  Carolyn looks suspiciously around

Hmmmmmm...

How...could...somebody...not...like...PIE!!  

My mind is incapable of fully understanding this concept. 

Me.  I don't really like cooked fruit.  I know.  Odd.  Nor pumpkin pie.  Pretty much the only pies I like have chocolate in them as the main deal.  My mom always wondered where I came from as I loved almost everything else but pie.

I can't understand where you guys are picking these blackberries!
Assuming you're talking about brambles, ours are barely even pink... definitely not ready to be picked.   They usually dont ripen till September,  but this year, who knows? 

Ours are mostly very ripe, although there are some unripe ones as well.  This is London.

I don't usually get any until the end of August or well into September either.

I saw this movie as a sneak peek preview. Cute, just glad I didn't spend money to see it though.

Yep they are ripe in London.

All this pie talk makes me want to try my hand at a berry pie. For you Californians in the know, I grew up with family trips going down to Gizditch Ranch. My mom always bought an olallieberry pie for home.

I need to find some berry pickers!!

QG, I bought my blackberries at Morrisons - but they were from Kent.  I reckon the berries are ripening up down south & slowly making their way up -- I've not seen any ripe native ones in Yorkshire yet either.

Well, onetiger has 'fessed up to not being a pie-lover -- but I say even chocolate pies count as pie!

But now there's another poor soul living an ascetic pie-free existence.  Pray for them.

I'm a native Californian, but I must not be in the know, because i have never heard of Gizditch Ranch or olallieberry pies! 

For us, pies were from Marie Callenders!  As a kid, my favourite was their peanut butter pie, but when i got older, i graduated to the Boston Cream Pie!  God what a combination!  I dont know what they're like in places other than MC's, but in there, it was a custard pie with a chocolate iced sponge cake on top!   2 desserts in one!

Of course! And there's coconut cream pie, banana cream pie, etc. Not all pies are berry-ish or all that fruity. Plus, chicken pie in all its variations counts, too!

And ... my very favourite pie of all time .... KEY LIME PIE!!

All right, I've just joined the ascetic brigade, now that there is one! My "issue" is that I don't care that much for pie crust. Especially not the soggy, gummy, flavorless bottom crust. Ewwwww.  Plus pie has some strange psychological overtones for me--possibly due to too many church potlucks involving nasty gooey canned pie filling. And Cool Whip. 

I'm not completely anti-pie. I adore pecan pie, which reminds me of my grandpa. I'll eat the obligatory slice of pumpkin at Thanksgiving if someone else has made it, provided there's real whipped cream. Myself, I make pumpkin cheesecake instead.

And to top off the inconsistency, I really like, and make, tarts. They're thin and elegant, which avoids my psychological issues, and the crust is usually tastier and less soggy on the bottom. And they come in more interesting flavors than pies. Chocolate and cranberry...mascarpone, ginger, and grapefruit...almond and blood orange...

Ok, I've now convinced myself that I have some serious problems!
