Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Musket Date: 18 Dec 11 - 12:37 PM At the match, for many years, I liked a steak and sidney pie to go with my styrene cup of bovril. I suppose about ten years ago, I got into Balti pies. Now you're talking! Impossible for me to enjoy the second half without my half time rats's coffin. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: mayomick Date: 18 Dec 11 - 08:16 AM The weight of pies can often be a problem these days. If you get sold a pie that you suspect may be underweight, there's a place you can go to get it checked out . Somewhere over the rainbow. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Janie Date: 17 Dec 11 - 09:57 AM Wow, am I outdated! In my youth lard was out as unhealthy and Crisco was in, and I have simply accepted that as "truth" lo these many years. (thanks for the education, good people.) I have simply pretty much stayed with Canola, Olive Oil and butter for 40 years. I rarely fry anything, use butter for baking for (except for pie crusts) and simply have not paid attention. Now, I do read that for lard to be better, it needs to be non-hydrogenated. Is that hard to find in grocery stores? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 17 Dec 11 - 06:16 AM Well, I've eaten pies made with a lot of lard in the pastry for seventy years. Also loads and loads of butter, great Hovis doorsteps with half an inch of butter. I've fried almost everything in lard, and put great dollops of butter on greens and spuds. So did my parents and grandparents. And we all lived long lives with hardly any health probs. We also liberally sprinkled things with (gasp! horror!) SALT!! I'm not questioning the science on cholesterol and salt, and I admit I'm a bit tubby (not all that much though, 12 stone) but here I am, still breathing and perfectly healthy. (And have just enjoyed two crumpets for breakfast, dripping with butter) Pies are a most superb thing, and help to make a bit of meat or fruit go a long way. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: gnu Date: 16 Dec 11 - 07:48 PM Let's here it for lard! I mean, IF yer gonna eat a slice of pie, why not have a GOOD crust? Tender and flakey and not a pile of mushy goo... top OR bottom. Fer gosh sakes! It's PIE. It's meant to be a decadent treat. Do it right. Just don't eat two slices in one day.... if ya do, well, yer gonna be a lardass. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Crowhugger Date: 16 Dec 11 - 03:08 PM 1. My apple pie, lard in the crust, with a subtle amount of nicely balanced spice blend, filling thick enough to allow the pie to be served without collapsing but soft enough to be luscious rather than sticky. 2. My mum's lemon meringue pie recipe when I make it slightly more tart and with 20% more lemon zest (and yes, lard in the crust) 3. There used to be, on Hwy 6 in Mount Forest ON, a greasy spoon (what might be termed a diner in the USA) called Bill's, where his wife made THE most extraordinarily delicious fruit pies with totally edible crusts down to the last crumb. I used to eat some on my way to and from Festival of the Sound. Her pastry was better 'n mine. Unfortunately the place was long ago sold for retirement. If not since torn down and redeveloped, maybe the current owners have finally found a comparable baker...been ages since I was there to see what's up. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,mg Date: 16 Dec 11 - 01:24 AM I think many scientists would say lard is healthy, butter is healthy, coconut oil is healthy and the Crisco is what is deadly. I vote for going with lard, after doing research to your satisfaction. Start with Dr. Mary Enig, fat researcher. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Janie Date: 16 Dec 11 - 12:00 AM I confess I do not understand the applause for assorted custard pies -unless they be pumpkin! Made with fresh organic pie pumpkins and honey to assuage the the conscience just a wee bit for actually using lard to create the perfect crust. The custard rich but not too sweet, and the custard creamy but not absent a subtle texture. Lemon, coconut or key lime custards, with their intense sweetness and ultrasmooth texture don't appeal to me. The crust makes the pie, regardless of the filling, in my book. Any pie made with fresh fruit, as long as crust is good, appeals. Having said that, I confess that I have never made a crust with lard - have experimented with oil, butter, coconut and all the healthy alternatives - and finally accepted that the next best thing to lard is Crisco - not nearly as healthy as the other alternatives but not nearly as lethal as lard. I've lost my touch from not cooking or baking much, but at one time was quite proud of the touch I had with pie crusts. Never, ever, however, equaled or surpassed my grandmother's lard crusts. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 15 Dec 11 - 09:24 AM French apple tart has to be one of the best. It tastes and looks delicious especially with cinnamon syrup brushed over the top layer of sliced apples. The tart is delicious served hot or cold whatever the season with a dollop of whatever you fancy on top, cream, ice-cream or custard. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Chris B (Born Again Scouser) Date: 15 Dec 11 - 08:21 AM Mrs BAS and her mate once went into a bakers in Bolton and asked if they had any pies.

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 14 Dec 11 - 02:37 PM Steak and kidney pie. Lamb's kidneys and fairly inexpensive casserole beef. The best thing is not to add a load of fancy ingredients. Just chopped onion, salt and pepper. Casserole the meat and kidneys for long enough to make them tender (about 2 hrs). Thicken with Bisto gravy powder (not the granules, horrid stuff, the original powder) Allow to cool. Make the pastry with a mixture of plain and self-raising flour (about twice as much plain to SF) And use LARD (Gasp! Horror! Cholesterol!) and margarine, half fat to flour. Roll it quite thick. Make the pie up, saving most of the gravy, seal the lid with milk. Cook quite slowly for 40 minutes. Use the gravy for the meal, on top of the spuds and vegetables. It's nice cold too. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Crowhugger Date: 14 Dec 11 - 02:15 AM Becky, it's not being in the west, it's agri-business has taken dozens of fabulous old apple varieties out of the orchards in favour of newer. I don't recall the last time I saw a Stayman for sale -- probably 30 plus years ago when I worked at a cider mill. Might still be available in Mennonite areas of Ontario but I can't say for sure. Fortunately there are people still growing whatever varieties will survive locally, either by experimenting themselves or from old-orchard grafts, but they're becoming more and more scarce. Another gene pool almost drained. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 02 Dec 10 - 02:29 PM Sweetened condensed milk- my wife refuses to use it, period! I remember, when I was a child, swiping a can of the stuff and eating it with a spoon. I couldn't do that now. I also used to gnaw on cones of hard brown sugar that my parents brought back from Mexico. My sugar intake when I was a kid was phenomenal. I think it contributed to my (so far) long healthy life! |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: catspaw49 Date: 02 Dec 10 - 10:50 AM LOL @ Froggy......Well thank you for trying and being so tactful!!!

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 02 Dec 10 - 09:55 AM I'm not the worlds best pastry cook I don't think I am anyway. It's not me who made the soggy bottom by the way I sampled this once in a High Street cafe in the town. It is slimy stodgey when you try to put a spoon through it rather than crisp and it does spoil the whole thing, more like a slimy gloop in the mouth, yuck. Bakewell tart can be good it has a pastry base, layer of jam and sponge mixture on top with some almond essence added. But alternative flavours can be added to change it a bit and instead of raspberry jam a layer of cherry is nice with custard, cream or a scoop of ice-cream to top it. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: frogprince Date: 30 Nov 10 - 06:53 PM Well, 'Spaw, thanks for the recipe; I think we followed it very carefully, and I would say the pie is a little somethin' different, and tasty; but I really can't say that I find it as interesting, or appealing, as any number of fruit pies, or banana cream or chocolate cream. I didn't have a cup of coffee ready to go with it; I think a cup of fairly strong coffee might make it work just a little better for me. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: frogprince Date: 30 Nov 10 - 04:53 PM mg, I'm sorry but you lost me there; does the slimy refer to something about the crust, or to the steak and kidneys, or? Would you believe we have a buttermilk pile, 'Spaw's recipe, in the oven right now. Soon I'll find out if I agree with him, or think he's crazy for eating the stuff. Sadly, my wife really doesn't dare get near more than a nibble of anything with sugar content like this; she would have to add an extra bucket of insulin. Actually, it just came out of the oven a minute ago, so we'll soon see. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Nov 10 - 01:57 AM Like the best pumpkin, sweet potato pie is best made with fresh taters rather than the canned crap. I ran across a good recipe that works well for all the squash type fillings whether it be tater or punkin or acorn or butternut squash. The real secret I found was never to overmash the mix, leave it a bit lumpy......I was surprised at how the texture difference improved the pies. I rarely see any Custard Pie anymore and that which I do is lousy. My Dad was a big nut for Custard and it was only when I got older that I realized the delicate flavor and how it is maunly ruined by most cooks. I think I'll beg Karen to make them her next learning project...LOL...... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: LadyJean Date: 30 Nov 10 - 12:22 AM I had forgotten sweet potato pie. There was a garden club made up of African American ladies who sold about the best I've ever had at the May Market. Along with the mushroom sandwiches and the dipped strawberries that pie was the best thing at the market. Alas those excellent ladies don't come anymore. You can still get the strawberries. After many years of dipping them, I hate the sight of the things, but they're good. The mushroom sandwiches are also available. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Ed T Date: 29 Nov 10 - 03:38 PM So, what kind'a apples makes the best apple pie? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: PoppaGator Date: 29 Nov 10 - 03:22 PM I can't believe that no one has yet mentioned SWEET POTATO PIE. Must be due to the overwhelmingly "caucasian" (i.e., pigmentally-challenged) population hereabouts. Sweet potato pie is very similar to pumpkin pie ~ same seasonings, etc. The texture is perhaps a bit heavier, the color slightly darker, and the flavor is just a little different. The main difference is that, traditionally, African-American people have used yams (sweet potatoes) rather than pumpkins to make their orange-colored custard pies. Soul food, in other words. ******************************** My maternal grandmother was an immigrant from Alsace-Lorraine, and was an incredible pastry chef whose apple pies were invariably pronounced the best-ever-tasted by just about everyone fortunate enough to have enjoyed a sample. Her Irish-immigrant husband was famously insistent upon being "American" and forgetting about "the other side" (the Old Country, or in their case, old countrIES), so he insisted that she make her fabulous Apple Streudel in a round pie pan, transforming it from a European delicacy into an "All-American" apple pie. Grandma's apple filling was very good of course, just sweet enough, but her pie crust was what really made it special. She always talked about how it would be even better if Grandpa would let her use lard, but she made do with Crisco (solid shortening). The trick, apparently, is to handle the dough as little as possible to keep it light rather than tough. Even her bottom crust was flaky! (Yes, that is possible.) My mother never learned her mother's knack for pastry, but fortunately, one of my (male) cousins studied with Grandma, successfully, and can now make the second-best apple pie in known human history. I can't say I have any single favorite kind of pie. I like apple, of course, but since no regular-type top crust can ever measure up to Grandma's, I usually opt for the crumb-topped or "Dutch" apple pie. I am also quite partial to mince pie, and can't understand why so many people I know claim to dislike it. To me, nothing else tastes so much like Christmas as that good old mincemeat filling. I bought and "baked" a frozen Mrs. Smith's mince pie over the weekend and was very pleased with it; the filling was tastier and freer of aftertaste than the "Nonesuch" brand canned mincemeat available for making a more "homemade" mince pie (i.e., canned filling in a homemade shell). |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: MMario Date: 29 Nov 10 - 01:20 PM The best pie in the world is the one I get to eat. so it varies depending on what I am eating... Frozen Key Lime pie is excellent; a good pecan pie is hard to beat. Buttermilk pie is sinfully good and probably supports more doctors then any other pie. A good mincemeat pie is a treasure; And why call it mock cherry when cranberry pie is so good on it's own? Savoury pies are a whole 'nother class of stuff... And cheesecakes are seperate from pie As is boston cream pie - which is about as much a pie as Manhatten clam chowder is a chowder. Calling a skunk cabbage a rose doesn't make it smell any sweeter. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 29 Nov 10 - 06:55 AM This is a hard one for me I love all sweet pies I couldn't say my favourite it would take me days to come to a decision. But I will get started Pecan pie, Key Lime pie, Apple pie, Lemon Meringue, Bakewell tart, Manchester tart, Treacle tart, Coconut tart, not sure if it counts but cheese cakes or crumbles too, Apple pie with a crumble top or Rhubarb. Apple and blackberry pie. For meat pies my favourite ones Steak and Ale Pie, real cornish pasties filled with gravy are moreish I assume they are classed as pies of a kind. Egg, cheese, Onion and Bacon pie is nice which I suppose is technically a cover hot quiche nice hot or cold. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Smokey. Date: 28 Nov 10 - 07:52 PM My late aunt Margaret's corned beef and onion pies were by far the finest ever. The pastry was so good (as in unhealthy) it was banned under the Geneva convention. Then there are pork pies, to which I'm extremely partial, but spoilt, as I grew up only a few doors from the most delicious I've ever tasted since. Bollocks, now I'm hungry.. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 28 Nov 10 - 06:07 PM Tortiere, or Quebec meat pie, is as variable as there are cooks in Quebec. This one includes potatoes, and is known as Tortiere du Lac Saint Jean. 1 pound ground pork 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated 1 onion, medium, chopped 2 cloves garlic (or use the paste that comes in a jar- stronger) 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 2/3 teaspoon savory 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup water (more or less) (A recipe I saw at Gatehouse Gourmet adds shredded carrot and chopped celery and parsley). Many variations possible. I have had one made with ground chicken breast; very good. Put all ingredients in a thick skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring to keep pieces small. Add a small splash armagnac or cognac and mix in well in the last few minutes of cooking. Cool before filling pie shell(largish pie pan) Top with remaining pastry Brush with beaten egg (some thin with water) Bake at 400 F. until golden brown (350-400F for approx. 1 hour). (Traditional is a steam hole. Use finger to make a little funnel in the centre to let steam escape while baking). Best served hot, but leftover is good cold at breakfast. Pastry must be lard. No substitute. Serve with a good wine. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: JennyO Date: 28 Nov 10 - 02:50 PM Come to think of it, there IS another pie that I should mention. When Rob and I were in Australia, I introduced him to Harry's Cafe de Wheels down at Wooloomooloo, to sample their world famous pie floaters (meat pies topped with mushy peas). He liked his so much, he went straight back and bought another one. Anyone who ever visits Sydney should put Harrys on their "must see" list. It's a unique experience to perch on a wall looking at the water while you are eating one of those mouth-watering delights! |

And of course, no thread about pie would be complete without This! |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Nov 10 - 06:50 AM Mince is mince Mike. It's named only by the meat from which it's made, eg pork mince, lamb mince, beef mince, etc. Mincemeat is always the delicious concoction of peel, currants, raisins, sultanas, nuts, and suet,(vegetarian if you must) with added alcohol. We make our own, as shop bought tends to be both, too sweet, and too fine in texture. |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: MGM·Lion Date: 28 Nov 10 - 01:41 AM Do you Yoosers over there have what we Yookers over here call "Shepherd's Pie"? ~~ a misnomer really, because it isn't a pie, because it hasn't a pastry crust, but a dish of minced lamb served under browned mashed potatoes: can be done with minced beef also, but then it is called Cottage Pie. I repeat, neither really strictly a 'pie' in the generally accepted sense of having a pastry case & topping; but delicious dishes nonetheless. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Janie Date: 28 Nov 10 - 12:11 AM Not fond of custards (except for pumpkin.) A textural preference, I think. The crust makes the pie, imho, whether sweet or savory. As much art and practice as science, in my experience. Like 99% of people who make pies, I don't use lard because it so remarkably bad for you, but got to agree with Mark that it takes lard to make the truly perfect pie crust. After pumpkin, I'd have to agree with the cherry pie lovers - no - wait - Apple - er - maybe blueberry? |

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: Skivee Date: 27 Nov 10 - 11:55 PM I don't mean to contrary, but all those whom embrace the twin evils that are Key Lime pie and Mince Meat are doing simply doing the work of Satan.

Hard to find fresh Gooseberries here though. Then.... a friend makes a Cranberry-Pecan pies to die for.... And Keylime pie made 'just right' is heaven.... of course, Banana Creme is wonderful.... And, growing up, I preferred Cherry pie with vanilla ice cream....and...and...and I do NOT care for Rhubarb or Pumpkin- you may have my share. -----------------------------\\ So....one day to live and an offer of ONE piece of pie made perfectly? I guess it would be the fresh Gooseberry. |

But at the very top of my list is this ridiculously sweet and rich................ BUTTERMILK PIE (makes 2 pies) Make up two of your favorite recipe deep dish pie shells or buy a couple of premade....your choice. Sorry you can't have Karen's! Brown them a bit before adding the filling. FILLING: Ingredients: 5 Cups Granulated Sugar 6 Tablespoons Flour 10 Tablespoons Butter 6 Eggs 3 Cups Buttermilk 2 teaspoons Vanilla 2 teaspoons vinegar Combine the sugar and flour. Melt the butter in a separate bowl then mix in the eggs,buttermilk,vanilla,and vinegar. Mix well!!! Add in the sugar/flour and continue mixing.....good mixing is important. Pour the filling mixture into the pie shells and bake at 400 for 10 minutes, then turn down to 350 for an additional 40-50 minutes (clean toothpick check). Let cool and EAT!!! ************************************************************** Have a supply of antacid handy (and some rope to tie down your kids is helpful too).

Subject: RE: BS: The worlds best pie From: frogprince Date: 27 Nov 10 - 04:47 PM Sorry Wesley, but pecan pie is my next-to-the-bottom choice, just above mincemeat pie, which I've never been able to understand at all. It's not that I consider mincemeat really bad food, it's just that every other kind of pie (I'm thinking in terms of dessert pies) is better. The best pie in the world is a proper banana cream; but I eat apple, cherry, and pumpkin more, so as to save banana cream for special sublime moments. What about buttermilk pie? I ordered a piece in Death Valley Junction, at the Amargosa Cafe, just to try something I had never heard of, but someone who walked in just ahead of us got the last piece they had. |
