My friend grew up in Pennsylvania and always talked about how much he liked shoo-fly pie. We were excited when he had that for his wedding “cake,” because we wanted to try it. H & I were really disappointed. Not sure what we expected it to taste like … but not what it actually tasted like. We probably would have been less disappointed had we looked up the ingredients, but that was pre-internet.
Well, I haven’t made it in ages and the cookbook it came from is long gone. (And I can’t find the original source online 
)
But this one seems to be very close to what I remember!

Its super sweet. I seem to recall slices being sold in 7-11 and similar stores outside of Philadelphia when I was a kid.

DH’s favorites are rhubarb (with strawberry if he must) and lemon meringue. I don’t like rhubarb, so he only gets it when my mother makes it. We have a prolific lemon tree that I harvest primarily for martini garnish, but evidently the lemons have other uses. Because I prefer lemon tart to pie and I’m the baker, DH accepts the compromise.
Pecan pie, and it has to be from the US because they don’t make it the same here in the UK. When people from Stateside visit, that’s usually my top (and sometimes only) request.

Cherry pie is my favorite, but unfortunately my family members like cherry the least. One that we all agree on is raspberry peach.

Husband just walked in with a surprise lemon meringue pie from the grocery. Yay!

Yep, grew up with Shoe-fly pie; I also grew up on pecan pie. I love both, but I can’t handle anything overly sweet anymore. I’m going to have to go savory with cottage pie as my favorite.

I grew up in Tennessee, but have never heard of Kool-Aid pie! That doesn’t sound good at all and I can’t imagine ever eating it. My personal favorites are cherry and peach.

My favorite is sour cherry pie which I usually make for Bastille Day. I also love key lime pie (with whip cream not meringue) and blueberry and apple. And pecan is obligatory for Thanksgiving. But today, I made an onion pie.

@MMRose, we went to the same pie shop on Pi Day that year also, but got 3 slices to go (one cherry, one butterscotch cream, and one chocolate cream) and ate them at 9:26 pm!

I saw that and didn’t know it was really a thing. H makes it. It came from a recipe on a Kool-Aid packet or maybe the cool whip tub. It’s super easy and good, especially in the summer.
Mix a tub of cool whip (by hand) with a can of Eagle condensed milk. Then mix in a packet of your favorite Kool-Aid powder. (I like strawberry.) Spread in a graham cracker crust and refrigerate.
Mmmmm, just had a Guinness stout sheppard’s personal pie for lunch and will have a mini quiche for dinner. I also bought apple mini pies for dessert I’m bringing the food to my board meeting tonight. For the vegetarian, quiche has no bacon. For the rest of us there is bacon with guyer cheese.
H couldn’t finish his Sheppard’s pie for lunch so will have other 1/2 for dinner.

Pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Plain. MIL made various options, with an orange glaze, with nuts etc. Yuck. Just pie, please.
I also have a nice recipe for a Nutella pie (sort of like a chocolate cream) that’s a big hit here.
