Despite a personal tendency to drop terminal Gs, no, I wouldn't dare say that.

And why not, pray tell?

pumkin pie is a savoury over here.

Savoury doesn't mean the same in America.
It means full of flavour.

UG is funny.

If you like pumpkin pie, you'll like sweet potato -- they use pretty much the same spice mix and the texture is the same. You can tell the difference, but you'll still like it.

Hey, I do know one end of a sword from the other. And how to spell Pennsic. Need to brush up on dancing a bransle, though. Been too long.

Hoch-aye yai yai yai, canta y no llores -- noo that's fusion cooking!

Yeah, I have to disagree with Wolf that really, if you like pumpkin pie you'll probably like sweet potato pie and vice versa. Texturally nearly identical, spice mix is the same, and a flavor that's subtly different but really, very similar.

I think if you tell someone who is used to a grudgingly-purchased-at-the-store-once-a-year pumpkin pie that your sweet potato pie is really pumpkin, they won't notice, and will in fact think that your pie is the best thing on earth and no store pies compare.

I may have to make another one today. Frozen crust and pumpkin mix in a can and hell, that's fine by me. Still beats pre-cooked for some reason.

Indignant Pie - doesn't make me angry at all - it's, actually, pretty damn funny.

Pecan pies make me angry. Probably just because I hate pecans. they leave my mouth feeling like I just chewed up an eraser. They just sit on the top of the pie staring at me like they are something I want to actually eat.

napPies. kid at hockey tonight had a seriously stinky diaper/nappy. Game was too exciting for the mom to take her away and change it. Gag.

Haggis!

I know! You almost feel obligated, but you just can't bring yourself to rise to the occasion of eating one of those S.O.B.s!

What always gets me is how everyone around me gushes about it. Pecans suck, guys.

Then there's the pronunciation. Is it pee-kahn? PEE-can? I dropped out of phonetics class in college so that's the best I can do.

Question for all:

How do you pronounce pecan? I use closer to the former than the latter.

I love pecans. But not once they've been ruined by being mde into a pie.

How do you pronounce 'pecan'?

pees-in-a-can

Puh-KAHN. And they get soggy in a pie, and are therefore no good. Toasted, however, like with brown sugar on top of baked apples and sweet potatoes... well that's a whole different story. Toasted pecans are awesome.

Pick-ahn. But that's how the Michigandans taught me.... I think Brits say Peek'n, but they don't eat them much.

It seems like I remember a pecan tree along some Texas highway with a sign saying it was the
original soft- or paper-shell tree, from which all of today's commercial trees are descended.

If so, maybe best pronunciation is with a heavy Texan-twang. ;)

Pea-cans are yummy. Pea-can pie is too.

I was collecting them off the ground in a park over thanksgiving weekend. The nuts were in a hard shell, and are a pain to get the meat out. Didn't know there was a paper shell variety.

Any nuts in a pie make me angry.
Get your nuts out of my pie!

:lol:

Seriously. Listen to the girl!

Not even almonds?

I am not Cherry Bakewell. Not even almonds.

All depends on where you are in relation to the Mason-Dixon Line. How you feel about NASCAR may factor into the answer, as well.

I say it that way myself.

Somebody who can't like pecans -- jeez, that's hopeless. I'm very fond of pecan pie. I pronounce it with a short A, though, not a broad A.

Pee-kahn. I love 'em. And almonds. But I can't stand walnuts unless they're inside something that hides the bitterness; sort of a metaphor there, but it's almost two a.m. and I can't think of what for.

I just made a pumpkin pie today. Didn't make me angry at all; it turned out perfect! I've been craving one ever since I didn't make one for Thanksgiving. I made carrot cake instead. That was good too.

I love pie. But I absolutely HATE making pie crust. Don't know why; it seems like a simple enough process, but I really prefer just unrolling it out of a box.

Okay wait, there is a pie that makes me angry. Raspberry/blackberry pie, with all those little annoying crunchy seeds. Blech. And Coconut. I hate coconut.

Pee-kahn but as conscious push back to the regional flat a.

Enough with the pecans!!

Currently, currant pie is making me -- well, no so much angry --as miffed.
