Pumpkin Pie

[Maj.Striker]

Pumpkin Pie? Disgusting... Oreo Pie from Village Inn/baker's Square? Totally Rocks!!!

Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without pumpkin pie.

Yup, Baker's Square pie kicks ass, especially Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme! Pitty though that they had to take over all the old Sambo's restaurants from my youth.

I love pumpkin pie, but find that the bought ones vary widely, and for the most part are blandly disgusting. For one, it has to be eaten cold (refridgerator cold) and the spice mixture tends to be slightly different with each maker.

On a similar note, a family friend brought a pumpkin pie over to a gathering at my grandparents house. She served it and everyone wondered why it tasted so bad... really strange tasting actually. Then she laughs about how she had made the silly mistake of confusing the powdered ginger with powdered garlic!

she KNEW it was garlic, and she served it ANYWAY! I guess she had had lots of kids and grew up in an era where you wasted nothing.

AD,
I am gagging just thinking about that!!! It actually reminds me of a few people I know. My general rule of thumb: if you have mixed up the recipe, don't punish other people for your mistake!

Hey LOAF, didn't you hijack a thread once and make it about pie?

 

[upyr1]

Any one got a good pumpkin pie recipe?

 

[Ridgerunner]

The only recipe for pumpkin pie I have, is to have a slice of pecan pie.

 

[upyr1]

Pecan pie I must admit is my favorite as well, but Pumpkin is up there too.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Yes, a pie made from a large squash is very appealing. Yuck.

 

[upyr1]

the only way I can eat any memeber of the squash family

I'm tellin' ya, if you haven't had a good buttercup squash pie, you haven't lived. . .

Buttercup squash is a smallish, green squash with bright orange flesh. Very tasty when baked with a little butter/brown sugar on top, though you don't really need either. What can I say, I was raised on it.

Just subsitute it for pumpkin in a pie. It will taste better. Probably pumpkin pie would taste better too if you didn't use canned pumpkin, though.

Pecan pie is really, really, really, good. Pumpkin/squash pie with pecans on top is even better.

sounds good

I'm a Halman.

And I'm always the most sensible choice.

Nice to see you around Hal, as you can see I took up being your salesman because I figured word needed to get out. Pumpkin Pie should always be made with naturual pumpkin if you can, and aren't super lazy. The canned mixes have always turned out bad and bitter for me.

[upyr1]

would like your recepi for making pie it sounds good

 

[McGruff]

Yes is still winning the poll, so there may be hope for the world yet.

 

[Trelane]

I liked Halman before he got all preachy.

 

[upyr1]

I like Pie

 

[Claymore]

Sweet pumpkin pie is ok with cool whip. Im not talking about the spice pie stuff. No nutmeg or whatever else some people put in it.

Question: why is it called impossible pumpkin pie anyway?

Sidenote: pecan pie... yum

I'm really surprised that no one's talked about the math kind of pie yet...
