@fibrs86@Targaryen@werehatrack Loved my mom’s rhubarb pie, especially when topped with some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Another thing I miss about my parents, especially during the holidays. (She made great pecan, pumpkin, apple, and peach pies also, and the occasional mincemeat pie.) I’d take any one of them right now. I can’t bake, and the store bought ones are meh (without the capital M).
@fibrs86@phendrick@Targaryen@werehatrack
Rhubarb pie is my second favorite, (pumpkin is #1) but I didn’t think I’d see it here for a favorite thanksgiving day pie!
@werehatrack I’d love peach, but there’s no decent fresh peaches this time of year (around here). If you aren’t using good fresh peaches, you may as well switch to something like apple (also a fav).
Peanut butter pie? Hmmm…
@daveinwarsh@werehatrack That’s why I go to the peach farm in the summer and put several gallon bags in the freezer. If they are frozen individually on cookie sheets before bagging, they are just as good as fresh when used in cooking. I also like to snack on them frozen too.
@Ginger_Ninja@ironcheftoni Aww, what a dutiful granddaughter! I suppose when you’ve lived through the Great Depression & WWII rationing, you’ll eat just about anything!
@Ginger_Ninja@ircon96 True, Grandma raised three kids during the depression and WWII. They were lucky that they lived in the country, had a farm and raised most of their food. When organic gardening was all the rage, Grandma said, we did that too except we didn’t call it organic. We called it too broke to buy fertilizer and the cow patties were free.
@ircon96 I have a recipe for a pumpkin chiffon pie with a coconut-graham cracker crust that’s divine - it gets really crunchy! My husband didn’t like the texture of pumpkin either, but he liked this.
@Kyeh That sounds delicious, i LOVE Graham cracker crusts, except you lost me at coconut. Although, my sister was crazy about coconut AND collecting recipes, so I’m surprised she never came across a crust recipe with that in it.
@ircon96 The recipe is from the Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook, 1980 version, which is a wonderful cookbook!
I love coconut, especially when it’s toasted and crunchy. I bet though you could substitute chopped pecans or some other nuts for it.
@Kyeh Now you’re talking! I love most nuts, just not coco"nut"…i think it’s mainly a texture thing, but then again, i don’t care for the smell/flavor, either! Lol
I will have this pie, exactly in those ratios.
@fibrs86 Me too. Well except Rhubarb not sure I’d like that one.
@fibrs86 @Targaryen Rhubarb makes a pleasantly tangy pie, in my opinion. But unless a good thickener is included, it’s a bit of a mess.

My grandmother made a locally famous strawberry-rhubarb pie; both tangy & sweet!
I like that they display the results as a pie chart.
@rockblossom Pie-ception.
@rockblossom @Targaryen Pie-ce by pie-ce.
I cannot imagine a peanut butter pie actually getting 3% of the vote. And placing peanut butter ahead of peach is just mind-boggling.
@werehatrack I agree.

How is mincemeat pie not even an option?!
@Ginger_Ninja Cuz this is 'Murica, dammit!
@ircon96 And we had a War of Independence just so we would never again be subjected to mincemeat pies. Or marmite.
@Ginger_Ninja I used to can my own mincemeat and made Pies for my grandma every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She and my uncle loved them.
@rockblossom Amen! Give me liberty or give me British “cuisine”!

@Ginger_Ninja @ironcheftoni I love that no-nonsense perspective, they don’t call them The Greatest Generation for nothing!
Why are the 3%’s not all the same size?
@Ignorant Because they range from 2.5% to 3.49%.
@Ignorant The photographer was hungry?
I guess hair is part of other.
Butternut Squash pie is disturbing.
@blaineg Why? It doesn’t taste that different from pumpkin.
@blaineg @Kyeh Yes, squash are all pretty similar.
I never cared for the texture of pumpkin pie, but i love the flavors, so i much prefer pumpkin cheesecake, or pumpkin chiffon for a lighter version.
