What’s the most boring, meh kind of pie and why is it pumpkin?

When I was a kid/ teen pumpkin was my favourite pie and always looked forward to Thanksgiving because it’s the traditional  dessert served for this holiday in my family. I don’t know exactly when or why but I’ve been turned off pumpkin pie for a long while now. I love cooked  fruit pies and apple is one of my favourites currently. Apple pie was one I didn’t favour as a child because of the texture of the apples. Maybe once I entered the matrix in 2012 my taste buds flipped. 

Rhubarb pie is sooo good. It’s hard To find it on its own. So much strawberry rhubarb around in the summer but barely any just rhubarb pie. Now I want pie ffs. 

OMG!!! That is my EXACT pet peeve -- "Can I please have a rhubarb pie with no strawberries?" !

:)

You are so right.

I talked about it one time and a friend surprised me by baking me one from scratch! Even the crust! It was DELICIOUS!

My pie was much better than this picture (which stlll looks great to me) - - but guess what? I Googled Imaged "rhubarb pie" and only about three of the pictures were rhubarb pie - - all the rest were - -  you guessed it- - strawberry rhubarb pie.
Why would Google assume I wanted strawberry in there?

I don’t eat meat from cow or pigs and haven’t since I was about 14 years old so I’ve never tried this. I do love chicken pot pie though, only when I make it. I haven’t made this in soooo long and now I’m craving it. Thanks remind me it’s about time I make this again:) And true, I’ve never tried banana cream pie or seen it served anywhere. It‘s a prop. 

Beef pies are an Australian thing, picked up from the Brits who for some reason get things backwards - the eat their pies cold and drink their beer warm rather than the other way around. Some British beers are drinkable, Bass is quite good but not the way the Poms serve it, which is room temperature. Beer should never be consumed above 4C/39F. Pies on the other hand have to be hot enough to liquefy the gravy.

lol yeah cold pies and warm beer sounds wrong. They get fish and chips right though so we can forgive them the pie and beer issue. 

Banana creme pie is my favorite pie.

Hold still then ...

Nope.  Do you know that for the pie in face humor they normally just use whipped cream only?  
Never waste a good banana creme pie. 

That’s probably why I don’t like it, clashes with my outfit. Cheers:)

Yeah always go with blueberry pie because blue goes with everything. Cheers and happy weekend! 

i Didn’t know blueberry pie is a thing. happy weekend :)

The crust has to be good.  I knew a woman, Ruby who was a cook at a restaurant.  Her pies were the best I've ever tasted.  It was the crust that was exceptional.  Light and flakey with a great taste, she used real butter or margarine.  

Nice :)

The point of meringue on a lemon pie is color pairing. Meringue can be toasted to a golden brown which sets off  the yellow color of the pie filling. Cheers and happy weekend!

I agree the meringue is not needed on anything. 

I’ve never had pumpkin ice cream, sounds good though. I had some pumpkin pie last night Cos we did our Thanksgiving dinner last night. Yeah it’s not so bad, but not so good either. It’s just meh for me lol.
