With all of the negativity going on this week, perhaps a poll about something dear to many of us will calm the waters somewhat so that we can resume talking about games and miniatures (fat chance, I know, but at least it's an attempt). So what's your favorite pie? I'll start the nominations with the ones I like best: Nesselrode Blueberry Chocolate pecan Cherry Raspberry Since most of you (with the possible exception of the OFM) probably don't know what a nesselrode pie is, here's a link: link In the interests of full disclosure, I must state for the record that I don't like ice cream diluting the purity of my pie experience. I love ice cream, just not on top of pie. So what's your favorite? |

Whatever Olivia Munn from G4 is jumping in. |

Wow, now that's a tought provoking question! I like them all! Raspberry and Lemon would be my two favourites, with apple (yes, à la mode) not far behind. And any pie my mother makes is obviously MUCH better. Oh, and does Tourtière link counts? Add that to my favourites! |

My wife makes the best peanut butter pie in the whole flppin' world. She even makes her crust from scratch. It would not be a life without this home made treasure. She also makes a great apple pie with apples picked from a local orchard. |

Only apple pie is real pie--other pies are shoddy, third-rate corruptions of real pie. People who prefer or produce other pies should be given incentives to emigrate. |

I used to do a mean lemon meringue, using my great-grandmother's recipe. I wonder if I can remember it (or find it; I must have written it down somewhere)? |

Claim-Jumper's Chocolate Silk Pie – really more like ice cream than pie, but it is delicious. A good Key Lime is probably next – most aren't. Lemon Meringue. Did I mention I actually prefer cake – Butter Cake, with Milk Chocolate frosting. Pound Cake with a Lemon and Sugar glazing, heavy enough to soak into it, to make it ultramoist. Cherry Chip too, though the mix for it is hard to find, and the frosting is next to impossible to locate. Use vanilla frosting, and add cherry flavoring, red food coloring, and maraschino cherry chips. Delicious. Homemade for most of the above is best. |

I love a good pie – steak pie, steak and pepper pie, chicken pie, chicken curry pie, shepherds pie, leek and bacon pie, pork pie, egg and bacon pie and even a pie floater (a meat pie in pea and ham soup). |
