Pumpkin is good eating. Pumpkin baked, stewed, or stuffed, and pumpkin bread, pancakes, or muffins, are sweet.

I had a pumpkin pie but I dropped it, so now it's...

... squash.

Tomato pie always makes me angry that it isn't pizza.

Rutabaga pie? Seriously? What's next, brussels sprouts pie? Pea pie? Celery Pie?

monster · 10-25-2010, 08:38 AM

brussel sprout and velveeta cobbler

Oh shit, you just dredged up a memory.

Spinach pie with brussel sprouts. It was in the regular rotation when I was a kid. (Which means we probably had it like 4 times total.) Yuck.

Looking back, I can only imagine the recipe was that you take a frozen pie shell, dump a bag of frozen brussel sprouts in it. Mix up some eggs in a bowl, and maybe throw a little cheese in too, and then dump a box of frozen spinach in as well. Pour this mixture over the brussel sprouts in the crust, and bake.

(makes face) my childhood bane was creamed spinach. No pie, but still yucky.

I'm confused. Are you complaining that your Grandma's rock pie makes you angry?

I don't understand either Monster or Shawnee here.

Or any necessity to loathe meringue. It ain't but egg whites, air, sugar and cream of tartar. I can't find an atrocity there no matter how hard I beat it. Wonder how Steve feels about soufflés.

Well, de gustibus... but the sole upside to this is there's all the more for me.

It is true one should not skimp on the pecans in pecan pie filling. But the dark Karo-syrup based goo is part of the charm. And it keeps the pecans on your fork.

I am of the opinion -- de gustibus etcetera -- that regular piecrust has no business in a Key lime pie, though: crumb crust, either graham or gingersnap, both of which are made the same way, cracker or cookie augmented with 1/4 cup sugar and stirred together with melted butter.

Creamed spinach would bake into a nice savory tart. Cheese on top, of course. And season the creaming to advantage -- little touch of Spike(tm) maybe.

Spinach quiche, anyone? Not yucky, but has crust and a decent chance of changing the minds of the spinach haters. Likewise, adding chopped spinach to quiche Lorraine.

I do like quiche.

Years ago there were a couple stupid books out: one about real women not pumping gas and the other about real men not eating quiche.

But now we know that UG likes quiche, and UG is a real man, so it only follows that some real men do eat quiche.

Many are named Steve and have track lighting, too.

Rhubarb/strawberry. I'm angry 'cause it's so delicious and I can't have it.

monster · 10-26-2010, 09:21 PM

Is de gustibus what happens when you eat bean pie then take public transport? That would make me angry if I were sat behind you....
