Poll: Favorite Thanksgiving Pie
Sweet potato with pecan streusel topping.
I hadn't thought about meat pies, but mmmmm! that would be delicious.
Chess pie sounds yummy, too . . . although it's a little too deep south for these here parts:

I voted pecan.
We have so much pie going on here today though!
2 pecans-traditional. They were going to be made with duck eggs from the ducks down the street (for the benefit of our ethical vegan--kindly treated duck eggs=ok. grocery store hen eggs=not ok) but the ducks are presently moulting, not laying.)
1 vegan pumpkin pie. No eggs, will be more like a sweet potato pie, I'm guessing.
1 wheat-free crust apple pie for the visiting friend who is wheat intolerant.
1 traditional pumpkin, and 1 traditional apple supplied by the mom-in-law from her deluxe retirement community baking people.
The kid wants to make a cake in a miniature cake mold he bought at the church white elephant sale, which he plans to surround by cupcakes in some sort of weird crop-circle formation. Will try to convince him it would be best to hold off until the weekend.

I think I overdosed as a kid, so rhubarb doesn't hold as big an attraction anymore. We had raw rhubarb, stewed rhubarb, rhubarb jam, rhubarb pies, rhubarb with x pies (where x = strawberries, or raisins, or ... etc.). But if its in a pie, I guess I have no control.Walden wrote:Rhubarb is all but unheard of where I'm from

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

I can not settle for one pie. In order of preference old fashioned home made Mincemeat pie and then a piece of Pumpkin with whipped cream. I remember my grandmother making the mincemeat, canning it, and then making the pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really miss that Mincemeat. My wife doesn't like it. nuff said.
