moinab Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 My grandparents were all French Canadian, so we have a big meat pie tradition. For Christmas Eve, we always have a ground pork meat pie (smothered in chili sauce - mmmmmmmmm. Is it Christmas, yet?)
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 ^ ooh that's different! I've never heard of that before! Sounds nice! Â We are mainly fans of the meat variety because we are both diabetics
EftelingGal Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I like Key Lime Pie, Boston Creme Pie, and Chocolate Pie.
ebl Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I like key lime pie, but I eat it carefully so I won't bite down on one of the keys. That would hurt! Â Eric
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 I've just checked Google to find out what a Key Lime is, as I had no idea! Â What goes in a Boston Creme Pie? Â Do you have pork pies in the US? Â I've just discovered that there have been films made with pork pie in the title! There was Goodbye Pork Pie, a NZ 1981 film, which had nothing to do with pork pies, it was a road movie with the car being called Pork Pie! There was The Perils of Pork Pie, a silent movie in 1916! A TV series in the UK ran from 1995 to 1996 called Porkpie! And an autobiographical film about a priest's son 1960's Wales called Pork Pie!!!!!!!! Â Pork Pies rule! Â Here are some pics of pork pies that I found. One has a boiled egg in the centre!!!!!!! Pork pie with egg in the centre! Pork pie!
ebl Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 ^ That is...well...um, well, you won't catch me eating it... Â Eric
moinab Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Boston Cream Pie is one of my favorite desserts. Despite the name, however, it is actually cake, not pie. It's two-layer yellow cake, with custard in between, topped with chocolate ganache. MMMMMMMMM. My birthday is Thursday, and I get Boston Cream Pie for my birthday cake every year!!!! Â The meat pie we make is actually a combination of ground pork, ground beef, and onions, with seasonings and a little filler (mashed potatoes or bread crumbs) baked in a double crust pie. Â Maureen "OMG I'm hungry!!!!!" O'Donnell
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 ^^ Pork pie is really nice! The pastry is really hard and the inside tastes kinda like erm, well, pork! We have one in our fridge all the time cos Simon really loves them. (I do too!) I have been known to eat sliced pork pie sandwiches. (which is maybe a little strange) Â The Boston Creme Pie sounds YUMMY! (But I am a diabetic)
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 Nestle Tollhouse pies are good too.... Â Kristi "reading about pies makes me hungry for one! " C.
ebl Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 ^^ You too, eh Bocakey? Â I'm usually pretty good, but sometimes I slip. However, if you look around, you can find some pretty good sugar free stuff. At least here in the US; I don't know about your neck of the woods. Â Part of the problem with that pork pie isn't the pork, it's the egg in it. I just don't eat the darned things (can't stand 'em!). Â Eric
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 Being a diabetic is really crappy at times! A lot of the diabetic pretend sweet stuff gives me really bad stomach problems and I can spend up to a day in the bathroom! So sometimes I just have normal sweet stuff and then feel ill for a few days afterwards! I just can't win! Â Eggs are eggcellent! Especially pickled eggs from the fish and chip shop! I also love scrambled, fried, boiled and poached eggs! Â But pies still rule!
kevings Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 While my mom makes an awesome meat pie, usually with ground beef and whatever leftover veggies she has in the fridge, the sweet pies are my favourite. If I had to list them in order, it would be #1 rhubarb, #2 raspberry and #3 butterscotch. Â Kevin
zaneymon Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 last nigfht in New Zealand the best pie in the country was anounnced it it a humble mince and cheese pie made bye some guy who works at a new world (supermarket ) in the Bay of plenty
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 27, 2005 Author Posted July 27, 2005 Mince and CHEESE???? We don't have that here, but I guess I could make some cos I love cheese! Â BTW I'm getting my car scrapped today. It's been my best friend for nine years
RC_dartarro Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 pie!! Â homemade pumkin' pie is probably at the top of my list (seeing as my birthday's in October ), then probably tie between apple, boysenberry and cherry.
zaneymon Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I LOVE MEAT PIE Â Zane "dumb yanks not haveing meat pies" Williams
CoasterFreakZac Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 My favorite pie has to be Key Lime. Then banana cream, and then blueberry. Â Yummy!
MidtownCoaster Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 ha ha. This DEFINES random,random,random. Â As for me, I have to go with Peanut Butter, then Pumpkin, then Key Lime (with a meringue, though, not whipped cream).
alanjonesbath Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Mmmm, so many good pies over here  I think my favourite has to be a good Steak & Ale pie, closely followed by Chicken & Mushroom pies. Mind you, I'm not picky, and would quite happily eat any pie.
californiascreamer1 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I cant get enough of 2 pies. Cherry and pumpkin
