Yeah, that's right, "apple pie". I'm not crazy about baseball or mom, either.

23. Moose is the plural of moose.
Some animals have the same name in both singular and plural: deer, elk, moose, sheep.

9. Apple pie is seriously overrated.
Even with ice cream on top. Actually, in my case (*severe* milk allergy) *especially* with ice cream on top. :)

I'm not crazy about baseball or mom, either...but OTOH, I also don't like Wayne "Sellout" Gretzky, moose meat is gamy and rank, and if I never taste maple syrup again (ate *waaay* too much of it as a kid growing up when mandatory Sunday breakfast was pancakes, bleah!), it'll be too damn soon.

Hell, I think tonight I just hate everyone and everything. :)

10. I don't eat apple pie either,
or any dessert for that matter. Can't stand rich sweet foods. Makes me want to vomit.

13. Apple pie trivia:
Apple pie was served for breakfast at Yale every morning for 150 years. Apparently it was part of the standard New England breakfast in the olden days.

I learned that when I was on campus for Yale's 275th anniversary.

14. I agree on all counts
If I'm going to splurge on pie, I'd rather have a cream variety (or better yet- cheesecake!). I've been married to a Yankees fan for 12 years and I pretty much loathe mass media professional team sports, so you can guess how much I adore baseball. :eyes: And my mom, I tried for 30 years to make her like me, but she had other plans, so mom's off the list too now. (I'm a cool mom though or so they tell me.) :)

19. I'm betting Canadians eat apple pie, too.

And a properly-made apple pie is delicious! It shouldn't be too sweet, should have plenty of spices. I may have to make one tomorrow or the next day, now that you've reminded me of how long it's been since I had apple pie.

I don't care for baseball and mom has been dead many years but apple pie should not be mocked. (I've never believed that mock apple pit, made with Ritz crackers standing in for apples, could be very good.)


In Praise of Pies, Oft Overlooked:


I also love cherry pie, (add rum to the filling, yum!)

pecan pie, (dark Karo syrup is the secret)

mincemeat pie, (why don't more people eat mince pie?)

peach and apricot pie (peaches and apricots are usually made into cobblers, as are blackberries and blueberries),

apple-blackberry pie (had it in England -- fantastic!)

raisin pie,

pumpkin pie, squash pie, sweet potato pie, (as you might think, those last two taste very much like pumpkin pie),

lemon meringue pie,

chocolate meringue pie,

lemon icebox pie (that's the one with the graham cracker crust),

Key lime pie (which has to be made with Key limes to be authentic, but is good if regular limes are used),

Boston cream pie (OK, it's really a cake, but let's not split hairs)

banana cream pie

coconut cream pie,

chess pie, (chess pie, not cheese pie)

tomato pie,

chicken pot pie,

onion pie

Bet I've left some out. Strawberry pie is one I don't like because it's always too sweet.
