If we're talking fruit pies I'd probably be very generic and say a nice apple pie would be my favorite go-to.

Of course for regional pies, the most common pie I see around the state the most is a vegetable pie known as rhubarb. A nice rhubarb and wild berry pie can be enjoyably tart and sour with that delectable hint of sweetness that rounds out the sharpness of the ingredients.

Nice try fedposting

Where are the sweet potato pies? I guess pumpkin pie is pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah I would’ve thought sweet potato would be somewhere, that shit slaps

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Sweet potato pie is the better version of pumpkin pie

Dumping mashed potatoes on a can of beans and browning the top with a blowtorch like it's a flan: "Behold, a pie!"

still better than what passes for an apple pie in this godforsaken country

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

For some reason my partners family will bring like 5 sweet pies to a gathering of like 15 people and then the 6th pie is what they call “dessert pie” but it’s more like a giant quiche. Still yummy though.

Sour cherry pies are grossly underrated

I live in the great pumpkin pie wasteland, and yeah, pumpkin pie is really good, but I have to agree with the last axolotl, key lime is my favorite.

We also have rhubarb pies here and they're good but I've literally only ever seen it in strawberry rhubarb pie.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Oh shit a good key limey piey is absolutely orgasmic when it's done just right. In fact one of my smaller goals in life is to make it down to the Florida keys and try an authentic key lime pie made with fresh fruit.

My dad's favorite pie was always Strawberry Rhubarb and I've always hated it because he bakes them for himself and they are so fucking sour when he bakes them it peels the paint off the back of your throat.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

A really good pumpkin pie is my favorite. But most pumpkin pies are not great, and so I usually get rhubarb or a chocolate pie.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

I don't think I have a favorite, but pumpkin pie is just an inferior version of sweet potato pie

It's a custard in a pie crust. It ain't a cake.

My fellow Americans, I have to tell you—when it comes to pie, there’s only one that stands above the rest. It's huge, folks. It's the best. I’m talking about pumpkin pie. There’s no question about it. Everyone says it, everybody knows it—pumpkin pie is America’s pie.

Now, let me tell you, this isn't just any pie. This pie is strong. It's made with the finest pumpkins—big, beautiful pumpkins. Nobody grows pumpkins like America. Nobody. It’s got that perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and a little bit of that buttery, flaky crust. Believe me, nobody makes pie like we do.

And you know what? It’s a tradition. You’ve got Thanksgiving, you’ve got pumpkin pie. It’s what brings families together, folks. They come together at the table, they all love it. They can’t get enough of it. I’ve seen it—people love this pie. And they’re talking about it, they’re saying, "This is the best pie, no question."

Now, some people might try to tell you other pies are better. They’ll say apple pie or cherry pie. But folks, no one loves pumpkin pie more than Americans. It's the pie of winners, and it's been winning for generations. It’s got that perfect taste, that comfort, that homegrown goodness.

So, let's be clear. When it comes to pie, we don’t need to look anywhere else. Pumpkin pie is the best pie—hands down. No competition. Thank you, and let’s keep America pie-ing.

Out of the options in the map I choose pecan but if I had to eat a sweet pie I usually go for either blueberry or strawberry really when it comes to pies I prefer savory like meat and potato

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Strawberry pie is delicious

Key Lime pie not even ranking is real Floridian erasure

Pecan pie is straight up revolting, the filling is 90% just corn syrup and then some pecans on top

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

I'll throw them out for you

Mincemeat absolutely blows every other pie out of the water

This is the way. Pie is the worst of the desserts. Give me a muffin. Or a cake. Or a six layer brownie.

Don't know if anything around here qualifies as pie. Is strudel pie?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Dunno. I'd say it's a pastry, but the main law of the land that is McDonald's calls their apple strudel a pie so I guess yes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Apple but double

I could go for 2 apple pies tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Most popular pie in my region is meat pie lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I'm a child at heart so my favorite pie will always be a chocolate cream pie. I mean, I like apple pie and rhubarb pie and pumpkin pie just fine, if someone were to serve me one at a dinner I wouldn't just throw my slice on the floor in disgust.

But I'll usually prefer something like a dark, moist chocolate cake or a cheesecake over pie anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

No mention of blueberry pie in these comments has me very dissapointed. But shoutout to my rhubarb people

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Idk... I guess I'm a normie, so I say pumpkin pie

As for region, ~~egg~~ buko pie
