I like fresh strawberry pie where the strawberries are piled high! Then some whipped cream on them!

mmmmmmmmmmm….Pecan pie…mmmmmmmmm with a dollop of Vanilla ice cream, warm from the oven, with a rumbling tummy and lots of friends to share it with. I love pie, I love all pies - Apple, Blackberry, Apple and Blackberry, Rhubarb( and Custard), the list can go on.. but I really love Pecan Pie and Vanilla Ice cream…mmmmmmmmm - got one in the oven right now, yay!

Fresh, drippy, juicy Amish rhubarb. A taste and texture like nothing else I have tasted, if distrubingly pale for some people.

I do, however, wish the U.S. had more meat pie/pasty options though.

Over here in New Zealand meat pies are one of the most common snack foods - more than pizza or anything- and the BEST of them all, is the Butter Chicken Curry Filled Pie from the bakery in the valley road shops….
mmmm…. pie…..
I probably eat about 4 or 5 a week. Apple pies and all just seem strange, and i put them in the same catagory as tarts and things…

I know, booooring apple pie! I just love it and the crumb topping type is about best with raisins.

My first reaction was “chicken pot pie!”
But then I settled down, and gave it some serious thought, and discovered that my favorite pie is a flaky crust filled with leek, zucchini and gruyere, drizzled with bechamel (or just a little cream), and topped with tomato slices and grated parmesan.

There is abolutely nothing in the world like one of my own mincemeat pies.

I start with the dried mincemeat, breaking it apart, and soaking it in brandy& rum for at least 6 months. During this time, I add raisins as needed for body, and brandy & rum as needed for my mental health.

I bake the bottom crust for just a few minutes, then add the mincemeat and a top crust with a minimum of fork holes as needed for the steam to escape.

Keep a close watch, and immediately remove the pie from the oven as soon as the crust achieves the desired browning, so too much alcohol does not vaporize.

Let cool a few minutes, and serve with ice cream, or on its own. Be careful how much you eat.

This is NOT for children, or for those who are going to be driving soon.
