Yay, Shawnee! Today you're making sense. (You're probably prettier than me, too.)

I remember that pair of literary abortions. I'd growl to anyone who'd listen that real men didn't let smartass morons dictate their diet.

Lorraine may be the quiche más macho.

Pumping gas is a given.

Oh, these look good. Inside out apple pies.

Mince, definitely mince. It's not a proper pie if it's got meat in it. I don't even know what's in mincemeat, nor do I wish to. Science Fiction films of the Fifties and Sixties have taught me a lot, most importantly, that there are some things man was not meant to know.

Shepard's Pie is clearly the result of some freaky British word usage. No flaky pastry crust there, it's not pie.

And before somebody points it out, potpie is a compound word, not having any fruity pie-like qualities, rather like monkeyfucking doesn't actually involve either monkeys or fucking.

Red sky at night, shepherds delight.
Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning.
Minced meat and mashed potato, shepherds pie.

Hope that clears it up for you.

I am angry at mincemeat (note no gap) pies.
They are Christmas fodder and therefore already in the shops.
Any gathering offering "refreeshments" held after about... oh, tomorrow - will have these and pretty much nothing else.

Not that I turn up to events just because free food is offered of course.
Okay, I do.
And I don't want mince-sodding-pies.
Especially NOT homemade - bleurgh! I'm sure you are a lovely person but you are NOT a pastry chef! And I'm not a great fan of pastry even when it's done well (Pieminister Pies excepted, because then it is done VERY well))

I've no doubt I'll be subjected to these at school over the next two months.
No. I don't like.
Sausage rolls, okay.
Peanuts at a far push.
Mince pies - stuff them where the wassailers don't go.

Mincemeat. Minced meat. There is a difference.

monster · 10-30-2010, 06:56 PM

Mince pies rock, especially homemade with homemade mincemeat. I hated them as a kid, though..... and Mr Kipling's mince pies make me angry -that pastry is for pants.

The suet helps them slide down easier, after a big turkey day dinner.

The only pie that pisses me off is the pumpkin one that I tried to make a week ago and the crust burned.

I've got another one in the oven right now and i'm trying again with a better crust, waiting to see if the sonofabitch is going to mess up again. hopefully not, and then i'll have my first successful pie

never been much of a baker, but it's pretty fun. I've made tolerably good bread a couple times, and I've also got some cookie bars in the oven right now.

EDIT: Yeah, ok, this pie is pissing me off too. the crust isn't burnt yet but it's taking like 2x longer than it should to cook properly in the middle, and my oven thermometer says it's the right temp in there and everything. argh. grrr.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-31-2010, 01:23 AM

Good luck, wet pies are tricky to get the center done without burning the fringe. How about wrapping some foil around the edge?

ZenGum · 10-31-2010, 02:12 AM

Har-pies make me angry. I work with one.

Christmas mince pies here are done with minced fruit.

I am regretfully tolerant that the Cellar Pie is still absent. I hope she comes back soon.

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-02-2010, 11:58 AM

"Mincemeat" pie is become an etymological appendix to the pie itself -- a trace of what once was. Well, there's an old-school mince-pie recipe in The Most Recent Recipe Thread, which you'll need to scoop out of ancient times now unless somebody Bumps it.

Pie for me does not have to be a sweet dessert. I'm plenty happy with it being savory, gravied, and pastry crusted as an entrée. It's very medieval...

actually i changed crusts and it worked out great.

it still took like twice as long to cook as it should have, but it ended up being good in the end, so I'll take what I can get.

I was told that sweet potato pie, for some reason, cooks better than pumpkin, while tasting almost identical. i may have to give it a shot next.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-07-2010, 06:04 PM

One of my foremen at Boeing, owned a rib joint in North Philly. Southern style ribs with all the fixin's, and sweet potato pie that would knock your socks off.

wolf · 11-07-2010, 07:11 PM

Sweet potato pie tastes yummily like sweet potatoes. Pumpkin Pie tastes of awfulness with cinnamon, cloves, and allspice added to cover the taste. Just because they're both orange doesn't make them taste the same.

(Yes, I am extremely prejudiced against pumpkin pies. Not to the point of being angry, though, which is why I hadn't mentioned them before. Coconut cream makes me angry because it's a pie and I can't eat any of it)

Please don't say "with all the fixin's"
