The Great Pie Debate - Offseason 2015 Edition

[Toker Smurf]

This thread is a mistake. The wonder of pie comes from the unity between the crust and the filling. Separate them, you have ingredients but together, they make PIE!

[Cary Kollins]

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.

 

 

finally a true pie connoisseur

Now that depends on the pie.  An apple, peach or cherry pie needs a heavy crust.  I will give that 80 to 90% crust.  Now a chess pie should have a delicate crust.  Those crusts can be made of any cookie type dough in my opinion.  I like a graham cracker or vanilla crust with a lemon chess pie.  Those would be 30 to 40%.  Now you also have to group pot pies into this discussion as well because it was not limited to desert pie.   The question was pie crust so to include the vegetable pot pie you would need a crust around 50 to 60%.  Meat pie would definitely be 100%.  A vegetable and meat pie would fall somewhere in between.  Now I'm hungry.  Damn you Jeremy!

I only like cream pies and only the ones i make

A delicious graham cracker base-crust is essential on some pies (lemon meringue, banana creme).

A beautifully browned top-crust is a must on fruit pies (apple, cherry).

But, by no means, do you ever EVER want to find crust on and consume the crust from fur pies.

The end.

I once tried to make a pecan pie with a graham cracker crust . It sounded like a perfect storm of desert that should have been invented years ago. It didn't work too well. The crust got all soggy and the edges got browned too much. It still tasted ok, though.

100% - Pie wouldn't be pie without its crust, just like Cam wouldn't a QB without his football.

100% - Pie wouldn't be pie without its crust, just like Cam wouldn't a QB without his football.

so you would eat s pie with the best crust ever if it was filled with dog poo?

Pie crust rates 30%  Pie content rates 70%

[saints4life25]

Being that a pie is generally made of crust and filling, any ratio under 60:40 filling to crust importance is unacceptable. I would say 50:50 myself.

Crust haters buy the bare bones entry-level Mercedes with less features than a Camry.

 

I love my Camry, Great Car, Its the exact same as a Lexus ES 350, but cheaper.....
