Ha! I was going to say I would be hard pressed to find a pie I didn’t like - until I looked at that map. Vinegar Pie? What the blank? A lot of those I have never heard of, but the sound of them make me want to post the green vomiting emoticon.
I like most all NORMAL pies that you’d find on a dessert menu
My Grandma’s specialty (and my Grandpa’s favorite) was apricot pie. Hers was so good! So I’d have to say that is my favorite, but mostly because of the warm memories associated with it.
I think this map is trying to indicate that the further north you live, the more unusual your tastes might become. Frito Pie, Spaghetti Pie, Cottage Pie…represented by Montana, South Dakota, and Maine. Of course, there are some other Frito (or Frito Chili) pie states, along with ricotta pie and bean pie and the unknown to me derby and aloo pies. Of course, all those other pies I just mentioned are also new to me.
But as far as my favorite pie? My mom’s banana cream pie with graham cracker crust. There are even true stories of battles over the pie, which I could potentially share if others were interested.
This thread is reminding me of some old favorites I’ve not had in years. @Hoggirl, I’m going to make a chess pie sometime soon.
I’m surprised none of the northern states have strawberry-rhubarb. So good. When visiting family in Montana we’d get it fresh from my cousin’s garden and bake a pie.
