GOAT Pie Tourney

Arts & Entertainment
1

I need a break from all the political shit, so I quit following all the threads involving politics. Now I’m down to just a couple of threads and need something to occupy some time here. This topic was brought up in the sandwich tourney so I’ll start this.

Nominate your favorite dessert pies here and include your top four seeds. No savory pies. That might make for a good topic, but I don’t feel they belong in this thread. Depending on how many we get, I’ll set up the tourney to fit the numbers.

I’ll throw out some to start:

Apple
Cherry
Peach
Pecan
Pumpkin
Boston cream
Lemon meringue

Top seeds:
Apple
Cherry
Pumpkin
Pecan

*I’m going to define a pie as having a pastry crust with a filling. If you have an argument for something not in that description, I’ll consider it.

I don’t know how deep you’re going, but if you’re looking for filling out the bracket, I’ll nominate mince meat pie, which I’ve seen described as “a sweet pie that is filled with a mixture of spiced fruits and suet traditionally served during the Christmas season.”

When I was a kid, I had it once and said I liked it, and as a consequence EVERY YEAR at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the next 15 years, my parents were like, “And don’t forget we need to have spidercrab’s favorite mince meat pie”, and I’ve got to say I never really liked it that much.

Also nominate chess pie: “Chess pie is a decadent combination of butter, sugar, eggs, and milk—and tastes as sweet and custardy as you can imagine!”

Chess pie is both legitimately delicious and more visually appealing than mince meat pie.

Finally, I think Dutch Apple variation of apple pie is sufficiently different that it might warrant its own entry.

I think I’ve had both. Mom made a green tomato mince pie that looked very similar to the top one.

This is intriguing. If Boston Cream Pie is pie, then Cheesecake certainly can be.

Don’t forget to throw in some seeds. I’d like to avoid apple versus pumpkin in the first round.

Every pie is a breakfast pie if you have your priorities straight.

You can have a crustless cheesecake. You can’t have a crustless pie. Ergo, cheesecake is not pie.

My fave is homemade apple pie. Not sure what a savory pie is, but if French Silk isn’t, then I’d like to nominate that

fwiw, I also consider cheesecake as more of a pie than cake. It has a crust. Cakes do not. If you accept cheesecake then I’d like to nominate strawberry cheesecake

Meh, most of the cheesecakes I’ve seen don’t have crusts and are taller than a traditional pie tin. There is also the name, we didn’t let breakfast burritos into the sandwich competition.

Think of a savory meat sauce like a chunky sloppy joe encased in a pie crust like an empanada or pasty. We are worse off as a country that we developed cheese burgers instead of savory hand-pies…

Or a “chicken pot pie”
