The Great Pie Debate - Offseason 2015 Edition

[Nick_81]

Pretty mundane really...

 

I dunno man, it's just one of those things I haven't ever done for no reason or other. I've eaten some weird ish before (cow tongue, Fools gold loaf, Gator, Deep fried everything, any weird concoction with Bacon involved) but I've never had standard pie. 

Hey, if I hadn't been raised around so much of it, I could probably say the same thing.  I'm not much of a dessert person.  I'd rather have the extra helping of the main course.

idgaf about a crust. get it out of my way.

This saddens me greatly.

I'm not a hater, and I don't avoid it in my forkful of pie, I just prefer the sweet Apple goodness inside better.

[Jase]

Wow, we're really separating the wheat from the chaff in this thread.

Can't we all just get along?

Might I suggest a bowl of fried apples?

 

 

It breaks my heart to see a nice crust go unappreciated.

For a fruit pie, the flaky crust is very important. That crispy buttery goodness counters the tartness of the fruit perfectly. For a custard pie, crust is irrelevant. The crust is only there so you can call it a pie. Hard to beat a fresh key lime pie...

So huddlers get lambasted for posting actual, albeit duplicated, Panthers and football-related news while threads like this get pinned? Makes perfect sense.

Oooh. I love fried apples!

Seriously, I eat sweets rarely. I just don't want them most of the time. My weakness would be chips, bread, starchy stuff. I can eat my weight in that crap.

Never question a pie thread! 

[Scrumtrilescent]

I bet the crust haters here never go to the bakery section of the grocery store to purchase actual bread.

 

 

Only you poor people buy bread at a grocery store anyway.

80 lbs. seems quite impressive!

For a fruit pie to be anything other than a gooey bowl of fruit,

the crust is the foundation, walls, and ceiling to the pie.

Much like a house is just a house till you add people, then it becomes a home.

A pie crust is just bland crumble bread until you add your filling. Then it's pie.

I prefer homemade with brown sugar, butter, and crushed pecans or walnuts.

Crust is at the very least 45% of the pie.

[FattyFatFat]

For me, the crust can make or break a pie. I'd have to assign it at least 50% to overall deliciousness to the crust.
