- I come from England-a country that loves pie. But we love it in a different way to America. New and unfamiliar pies entered both my life and my fridge after I moved to America. Here are four of them.

At my Russian brother in law's 1st Thanksgiving in the US he balked at our traditional pumpkin pie. "Barbaric. You make pies with squash? What next, cakes with carrots?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
*one, year, laytair*
Russian brother-in-law: [seeing carrot cake in front of him] I had to ask...
You should've said "YES". LOL
Oh, I'm sorry, are the Beet Freaks upset about how someone else uses root vegetables?
Just another reason Russia is better.
"The camera adds pounds."
That's why we don't eat cameras.
xD
🤣🤣😅!!
😄
Wait... Brits eat cameras? That explains a lot.
So if you’re British and you’re on camera, do you become richer?
One of the great things about pumpkin pie is that unless it is fresh and warm, you can hold it like a slice of pizza -- no plate or fork required. So satisfying to simply open the fridge, lift out a slice, and eat it right away without needing to dirty a dish or fork.
I completely lost it at 6:20 While talking to his mother: "Cream Pie...no don't google that one." I was incapacitated with laughter for at least ten minutes. Definitely one of the funniest things I have viewed on any medium this year. This guy is a comedic genius!
“No need for the whipped cream” is the LAST thing I would ever say after eating pumpkin pie.
Agree. I eat my whipped cream with a bit of pumpkin pie.
@@socialmoth4974 Exactly. I thought pumpkin pie was an excuse to eat more whipped cream.
I agree whipped cream is a wonderful addition to pumpkin pie.
Don't bother with the pie.Just give me the whipped cream.
You guys must eat some of that shitty pumpkin pie. Like supermarket pie or some old recipe that’s been floating around for 50 years.
Forego the peach pie and just go straight to peach cobbler.
Indeed...Peach Cobbler is better than Peach Pie...
@@jackburton37211 what’s the difference? I’ve never heard of peach pie
Crisps are even better!
I prefer cobblers to pie.
@Bio Kimistry I sub the usual spices for Mace. It works a treat.
Seeing how my family has raised blueberries for Generations I would suggest you try warmed blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream. Some people consider that a drug. Plus it's good for you
Same with hot peach pie ala mode.
To me, thats sounds more like an orgasm!!
I want some now.🥧🍦
If it's good for the soul it's good for the body.... right?
almost any pie just warm with ice cream is good. good.
I never tried pecan pie until I was in my mid 30’s. It looks gross. I thought the pecans were throughout rather than just on top. And it just looks like burnt nuts on a snot filling.
But when I finally tried it, I instantly realized I had been missing out. It’s freakin delicious!
Same
It is WAY too sweet for me, and really can pack on the pounds. I think it looks yummy.
Still have memories of me and my cousins cracking open peacans for my grand ma to make peacan pie. We also got first dibs as a result, packed in so much sugar that I am surprised I don't have diabetes.
😂
@@mchrysogelos7623 I’ve had some that weren’t too sweet. And even if it’s sweet pecans are so yummy
Best piece of pie I’ve ever eaten was after a hot day in Hawaii walking around a cute little town that calls itself the westernmost town in the world. They were having a street art festival, and someone who said he was the mayor of the town was playing a ukulele. I got a piece of key lime pie from a street vendor at a booth and ate it under a palm tree with a slight breeze floating past me. Maybe it was the magic of the day. Or maybe it was the pie. But I have never had such a delicious piece of pie since
Key limes are like Champagne... legally only grown in a certain region of the world. Key limes are from the Florida Keys, and in short supply, so if you have REAL Key lime pie in Hawaii, you had a true treat! Most "key lime pie" is made from regular limes... but just calling something "lime pie" puts people off, so anyone who sells it adds "key" to the front of it and people can't get enough. A slice of "key" lime pie on a hot day is indeed ambrosia! And a mango "key" lime pie will change your life!
"No, don't google it Grandma". Hilarious.
There are plenty of videos online about how to make a cream pie...
That one made me wake up my wife with my laughing.
Make sure to follow it with the word recipe and set safe search to maximum.
Wise man say, getting the joke sometimes worse than not.
I read this before the video started and I already knew exactly what you were referring to lmfao
As a Michigander, thanks for placing our state in the same mythical realm as Oz and Narnia! It is indeed an amazing state.
I grew up in Michigan and cause it is a peninsula, is probably the reason I have lived my adult life in FL...it is a peninsula too but averages winter temperature 45° warmer than MI.😎
@@kateburk2168 May be much warmer, but we get enough humidity here in the summer--I would rather perish than have that far more often in Florida! And at a much larger risk of devastating natural disasters! I'll take the cold winters.
lived in michigan for 30 years...dont miss the snow but go back for family...
As a Michigander I agree.
I went to Michigan State University (go Spartans!), but I'm from Philly. I have had the good fortune to have traveled several places in this world since then. But, I still believe, East Lansing is one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever been to.
Raspberry pie is fantastic, especially if you pick wild berries. Actually, the same is true for blueberries and huckleberries -- the domesticated berries are bigger, juicier ... and much blander.
The best fruit pies are from slightly tart and flavorful fruit..
"it has been popular for the past 200 years or 400 years if you add in 2020" Good one.
Pecan pie is a gift from the heavens.
...slinks to the fridge....
A blessing from GOD! ^^
My grandparents lived in South Carolina and had pecan trees on their property. My grandma used to make pecan pie using the nuts from her own trees. OMG! It was so good.
I discovered it after moving from Russia to the US and wow.....just amazing.
@@WyattRyeSway Welcome to the United States! Glad you like pecan pie. Greetings from North Carolina!
When I was bringing my newly-minted fiancé to Texas for his first American Thanksgiving, my mother went to the trouble to inquire in an email PS which kind of pecan pie he wanted - chocolate, lemon, or traditional? His understandable question: _What is a pecan pie_ ? 🥧
guessing he got all three.
Lemon!?
Lemon pecan pie!? What is this madness, how have I never heard of it, and how do I get it into my mouth as soon as humanly possible :O
Yeah I’m going to need that lemon pecan pie recipe. That sounds incredible.
Any pie with pecans is a winner in my book. Or kitchen. Or lunch box.
pies you should eat are key lime pie, lemon meringue, cherry, mixed berry....
Agreed. Fruit pies are the best.
Millionaire pie. Southern cheesecake which is distinctly different from NYC cheesecake. Mud Pie. Even a Chocolate Pie.
Then there's cobblers and things like butter apple crunch.
Free advice: If a key lime pie is green, throw it in the trash.
Get a _real_ klp made with actual lime juice and zest. It's 10,000x better!
@@asurasyn In all fairness I've made key lime pie with key limes (a pain in the ass because they're so damn small) and I agree. It's closer to yellow or yellow green.
my late wife used to say, "Tim you should watch your weight" and I said I am watching it, go up and up and up, she also asked one time if i had lost some weight, and i said , "why did you find some", my fav. pie is Strawberry- Rhubarb with a schoop of French Vanilla ice cream
Hold the strawberry....My Dad grew rhubarb, Mom made pie and an ice cream topping with it. mmmmmm
My father loved rhubarb. We had a huge stalk/bush? in our backyard. It was huge. I couldn't get passed the texture of rhubarb though. Reminds me of celery that's cooked, texture-wise. The flavor is nice but nkt enough for me to love it.
@Bio Kimistry Maw' used to cook "fruit sh*t"... It starts with crushed pineapple (or chunks if you prefer more texture) and applesauce. You stew it up like you're trying to make a pie filling for canning later, so once hot, add the "fruit of choice" and cook thoroughly, adding a bit of cornstarch at the end to thicken the stuff...
She started it because she was actually trying to can pie fillings for later, rather than just freeze the fruit and make the filling on the spot (I prefer to do that)... AND she ended up with a semi-gelatinous... erm... sweet-fruity hot mess. SO she served it to us kids over oatmeal on winter mornings. You CAN add sugar (to taste) but you obviously don't have to... It was a culinary disaster (as pie goes) but worked out well to get my little brother hooked on oatmeal (when he first tried it, he'd gag)... SO every winter we would indulge in "fruit sh*t"... Yes, we even had it with rhubarb (she was a fan of the stuff) and it wasn't half bad. ;o)
Agree !
Warm blueberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is heaven on a plate.
Try wild black raspberry. It's even better
@@tracimetcalf3374 Black raspberry, or blackberry? When I was a kid, every summer, my grandma would go to a nearby vacant lot and pick gallons and gallons of blackberries. Some would go in the freezer, some we’d eat, and a bunch became blackberry pies. _To die for_ delicious.
@@tookitogo Naw, black raspberry is different, it is a purple colored raspberry. It and blackberry are both delicious, but different flavor.
@@aguest4408 Yes, I obviously know that blackberries and black raspberries are different, which is why I asked the other person to clarify which it was. Wild black raspberries are, if I’m not mistaken, not as plentiful as blackberries (which grow like weeds if the circumstances are correct), and people often confuse them.
And I feel the same way about cherry pie.
I, although not a southerner, would like to highly recommend a very southern pie. It is called a chess pie, and it's delicious.
I am a southerner, and I concur.
Love chess pie!
It is a sweet egg custard cooked inside of a regular pie crust. As a child growing up in Texas, I always called it “ pecan pie without the nuts” and I begged my mother weekly to make one for me. As we Southerners used to say, it was larapin! (that means delicious!)
regular and chocolate are my favorites of this kind. You can keep the coconut.
I didn't know what chess pie was so I Googled it and this came up, "Chess pie is a popular dessert in the American South that originated from England." LOL
As a native Pennsylvanian, I heartily recommend shoo fly pie. Wet bottom if you can.
Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie do taste very similar, although I usually can tell which one I’m eating. I think it all depends on how it’s seasoned.
I tried to be healthy when my boys were growing up and I'd make Kabocha Squash Pie. Kabocha Squash is so much richer and sweeter than pumpkin or sweet potatoes.
you aren't lying about that shoo fly pie. my lawd
Also a native Pennsylvanian. I have never made or tried shoo fly pie. I had to look it up.
Wet bottom Shoofly pie is the greatest hidden dessert secret in America.
Philly/Delco native here. I came to the comments just to say gotta have shoo fly pie after seeing both your Pennsylvania videos just now. My favorite pie since I was a little kid :-) I also had Amish great grandparents. My Dad's coworker made them occasionally and he'd bring one home for me ^_^ You can find them at any farmer's market from scratch because Pennsylvania's farmer's are often Amish/mennonite
They're 🤤🤤🤤 so soo good
It's gratifying to hear a foreigner comprehend the true nature of Michigan
🤣😂🤣😂
"...Cream pie, no don't google that one."
XD I appreciated the banter; your grandmother must be wonderful.
When I was in the UK, I had Thanksgiving dinner at a professor's house who hosted it for her US students every year. They replicated everything . . . except the pumpkin pie. She said they tried it one year and it was too much even for her family. Luckily we had bread with homemade apple butter and amaretto double cream ice cream for sweets.
I’m shocked by this, making it from scratch is actually quite easy, the pie crust is the most advanced part of the process. I promise. It’s so much better than canned. Ps. Give the white pumpkins a try rather than your typical orange pie pumpkins, it’s a delight.
@@thesimplesaguaro I don't think their issue was that it is hard to make, but that they did not like the taste.
Ah. Fair enough ☺️
This yr, my son made his first pumpkin pie. He's a good cook but...I was not impressed. He was too light-handed with the spices. With some foods it's a matter of acquired taste, IMO. I rarely come across a store bought pumpkin pie that I enjoy. These days folk just rather have someone else make the food. One thing I've learned is, if you want some foods done right, better do it yourself.🤭
@@thesimplesaguaro if you can find them try butterkin squash. Clearly it's a butternut pumpkin hybrid. It has the smooth texture and deep color of a butternut but has a pumpkin flavor.
My grandpa was a big fan of pie. Anytime we went out to eat anywhere he'd order pie for dessert, whatever was available. But if pie wasn't on the menu dessert was pointless, in his eyes. On holidays he'd bake an apple pie using apples from his apple tree for all of us to share.
When he passed many people came to his funeral and we found a caterer to deliver a total of fifty pies in these varieties: apple, pecan, pumpkin, blueberry, peach, blackberry, strawberry rhubarb, and lemon meringue. We had lots of leftovers but it was glorious celebrating him this way. When I bake a pie or eat a slice, I think of him.
Pecan Pie is the nectar of the gods.
For Thanksgiving I am attempting my grandmother's pecan pie for the first time. Probably should do a dry run.
A Blessing from GOD! ^^
So good
Pecan pie is yucky
@leah rose Some recipes are far too sweet. But if you get the custard right it's sweet but not overwhelmingly so.
"or 400 years if you add in the year 2020." LOL Boy Howdy you got that right!!!
I laughed !
banana cream pie and coconut cream pie are also very good!! You should go to Marie Calendars. They have like 100 different types of pies there! You will feel like a kid at the candy store or toys shop!
Their peanut butter pie was so delicious! Subtle and not too sweet
The old McDonald's fried cherry pie was excellent. Im partial to Key Lime.
It’s true, but the McD’s fried apple pies were my favorite. Then McDonald’s got the bright idea that “real” baked pies were better. They were terrible. 10 years ago you could still find the fried pies at McDonald’s in Puerto Rico.
We have lovely fried pies at our Farmers market!
@@sandyhumissouri5131 I’m jealous!
Yeah that old cherry pie was so good with a little salt added to the crust. Then they had to ruin it by making it healthy.
"The Pilgrims would have made [pumpkin soup] themselves, since Panera Bread hadn't yet reached Massachusetts." 🤣🤣🤣
Ew. Pumpkin soup is gross.
@@CoasterMan13Official to each their own ☺️
@@EpiscoPiper gives me something to serve to the relatives I hate. Hahaha!
I'd eat pumpkin soup, if i was starving, which is the same reason why the pilgrims ate it
You actually made me laugh.
I am an American, a Southerner, and I agree: sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie taste almost exactly alike. I think it’s because they get spiced about the same. Or did where I’m from, anyway.
Same here
I have to disagree.
As an American, and a Southerner, I disagree. They are not alike and I still will never forgive the aunt who tried to tell me otherwise the first time I had sweet potato pie.
Both are made with eggs, condensed milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Canned pumpkin(Which is what most people use to make pumpkin pie) isn't even pumpkin, it's actually a mix of various squashes.
I too am American, I've lived in the South for 30 years, and when I first tried sweet potato pie, my first impression was that it tasted like pumpkin pie. And I also suspect it is because of the spices used.
Native Southerner here, and I respectfully disagree. Pumpkin pie is much smoother/silkier than sweet potato pie, which comes straight from the Devil.
Didn’t Stop pies from Entering my life and my fridge 🤣🤣🤣 such a way with words Lawrence!
I like all four of your featured pies, but my favorite is key lime pie. When I was living in Wales in 2016, my girlfriend asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday. I said that what I would really like is a key lime pie. She found a recipe online. We had a couple of friends over, and no one but me even knew what it was, though everyone enjoyed it. Four people finished the entire pie that evening.
You need to try a properly made coconut cream pie! The filling must be made with custard that has been made with coconut cream and real eggs. The version made with pudding mix will not do!
Delicious
I needed a pie to take to a social event and didn't have any money, so pulled out the old Betty Croker cookbook and made banana creme pie from scratch . It was a huge hit! With real merengue!
The old joke:
A young gal is walking up and down the aisles in the grocery store.
The clerk asked her if she needed any help.
She said ,"My husband wants a cake made from scratch and I can not find 'scratch' anywhere in the store!"
Absolute Heaven!
When my dad gets his hair cut at the barber my mom pays the barber in coconut cream pies. 🤣
There is absolutely no flavor without coconut milk. Don't think you can add flaked coconut to a vanilla pudding mix and get the same result.
I loved Key Lime Pie when I first tried it in Michigan. Now live in Florida and indulge in at least once a month. It will always be a favorite for me.
If you love pecan pie, you'll adore its less crunchy sister, sugar pie, which is basically just a very rich vanilla custard set in pastry.
On the fruitier side of things, here in Minnesota and other northern states, we adore a two-fruit seasonal favorite from late spring through summer and early fall. I use the term "fruit" loosely here because one is technically a vegetable, the edible stalk of a large leaf plant originally native to Russia. The pie is strawberry-rhubarb, and it is phenomenal. If you haven't tried it yet, ask for it at any independent restaurant or bakery. Your taste buds will thank you.
And it’s delicious for breakfast!
I’m from Pennsylvania and my Mom used to make the best Rhubarb 🥧 Pie.
Yes, it's sweet tart heaven
Rhubarb is very popular and widely grown in the UK.
I love the grandma contributions.
When it comes to pie, you can't go wrong with chocolate, pecan, coconut cream, lemon meringue, or key lime.
Lemon sponge more than lemon meringue. It's a Pennsylvania Dutch thing, but check it out.
And cheese cake which, despite the name, is really a pie.
Hmm.... I can chow down on just about any type of pie. As long as it's not some strange pie like Blood pie, or pig snout pie.
@@dwaneanderson8039 Is it a pie, or a custard?
all at omce!!!!!!!!
If someone hasn't said it already, there's also shoo fly pie and buttermilk pie.
I just tried shoo fly pie for the first time at an Amish restaurant the other day. It was amazing
I love shoo-fly pie!
@@riotsquirrel5736 Is it true that shoo-fly pie is the same as pecan pie, but without the pecans on top?
@@elultimo102 I guess the flavor is somewhat similar, but only vaguely. Shoo-fly has a molasses based bottom layer with a sort of sandy/crumble layer on top. Some people use molasses in pecan pie but I’ve mostly just seen it made with golden syrup. The black strap molasses is what makes shoo-fly so good imo.
OMG. Buttermilk pie is to die for. Very similar to pecan without the pecans - can give you heartburn from hell. 🔥🔥
Raspberry, strawberry rhubarb, peach, key lime, plum, or pumpkin pie are my absolute favorite kinds of pies. But for me, hold the whipped cream with the pumpkin pie.
And a freshly baked apple pie with a buttery, flaky, homemade crust and crisp apples with the perfect amount of cinnamon served hot, straight out if the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream = heaven.
British humor is great. Along with the eye glance most Englishmen seem to do, your timing is perfect and you are very witty. I have enjoyed watching your channel for years now and have had a lot of great laughs from your perspectives of our so called twin births separated at culture. Keep up the great work.
"This has been the case for the past 200 years. Or 400 years, if you add in 2020". LOL So true!
That is the comment that saved him from the Pumpkin pie tastes the same as Sweet Potato Pie faux pas.
my favorite line as well
When I first moved to the South from New Jersey I bought a piece of pie at a parade. It looked like pumpkin (my favorite) but one bite told me it was sweet potato. Now I love them both but they ARE different.
Introducing you to new American foods must be a blast for your friends.
Laurence, between your mild accent and a bit of wonderful English humor, I could listen to you read a college text book all day. I cannot skip over anything you post on YT.
I figured I'd throw in my own life's pie experience. One my mom often makes is strawberry-rhubarb pie. So many dessert pies go with the plan of sweetness on top of more sweetness. And while I personally love sweet things, for people who prefer slightly less sweet or for just a break to avoid sweetness overload, then adding rhubarb to accentuate the sweet with a bit of tart is just so good.
My favorite kind of pie.
@@claymccoy Same here!
@@squirrel2000 Ooooo, that sounds amazing. I have not had nearly enough of those kinds. I've had custard pie once, which I think counts, but other than that I don't have any strong memories of them. Rhubarb though is just such a great ingredient. Plus it's leaves are toxic, so if you can convince your enemies to eat several pounds of suspicious leaves, you're all set.
I've still never had one.
One of my favorites! My mom used to make homemade rhubarb sauce as well. Kind of like what you'd put in rhubarb pie, but runnier and a touch less sweet. A small dish after dinner was a yummy palate cleanser.
My mom grows Rhubarb in her backyard, so I grew up on Rhubarb Jam, Rhubarb Crunch, and Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.
Rubarb custard pie is to die for!
my favorite pie is cherry rhubarb
Blllaaaackkkkk!
Oh heavens! Not the slimy nasty Rhubarb! I don't care what you call it or add to it, it is sooooo bad.
Another fine pie. I love rhubarb
I love both sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie, but I also agree that they taste VERY similar. If I ate them side by side, I can tell the difference, but if you just handed me a slice and asked me which it was, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
It doesn't help that my favorite pumpkin pie recipe also has sweet potatoes in it, lol.
Banana cream pie and Buttermilk pie are two of my personal favorites.
“But the American use of key sadly has nothing to do with the fruit’s ability to unlock portals to mystical worlds like Oz, Narnia or Michigan...” 🤣
Being from Michigan that one had me laughing.
Jacqueline Moleski Ditto
I'd be more impressed if key limes could defeat the Heartless.
I didn't know I lived in a mystical world. That's a first.
At least we know why he didn’t say Ohio! Nothing mysterious about it, except why sane people would live there...
Down here in Kentucky, we have Derby Pie, which is a chocolate, walnut & bourbon pie. We always have pumpkin and swee' tater pie for Thanksgiving.
I prefer Kentucky Silk Pie myself
I will reply in hopes of this showing up in my notifications. I don't have a pen or paper and I have to go to bed.
And it is SO GOOD.
Derby pie is one of the best pies ever.
Fellow kentuckian here was going to mention derby pie as well, it's my favorite.
You should do a series on American Cakes. One of my favorites is Hummingbird Cake, You don't see it that often cause it takes so long to catch enough hummingbirds.
Are you serious? Is there really a hummingbird pie but not made with the birds?
@@didibrant7326 Just kidding, there is a hummingbird cake, it's sort of a spice cake but with cocoanut and pineapple. There is confusion about why they call it a hummingbird cake. But many say it's because when you serve it, everyone hummms and it sounds like a bunch of hummingbirds.
@@creech444 Nice reply. I just found it going through my interactions list. That lets me know that sometimes YT or Google does not notify you about a reply.
You identified my 2 favorite pies in the entire world - key lime pie and pecan pie! So different from each other, yet so distinctly wonderful....
Chess pie, coconut pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue, and chocolate pie are regulars at my house. I live in the south.
Chess pie is so good. Especially the chocolate variety.
Buttermilk pie is good, too, and I had never heard of it before moving to the south.
@@hekatejayne2238 Lemon chess pie is awesome. My aunt always made it for Thanksgiving.
Ex was upset the first time she saw me make chess pie. For any non-southerners reading chess is a baked custard flavored in part by white vinegar.
Ooh, I love a good chess pie! 😍
Texan here, pecan pie is most definitely a year-round dessert.
Even the tiny pecan pies at the convenience store are delicious.
The cheap ones at Walmart are so good.
They are! I've loved them since I was a kid.
I remember when they were literally a slice of pie with the aluminum pie pan sliced with it. Even as a kid I thought that thin sharp thing was dangerous. They were always sold from southern stores front counters
"Bama" Pies - remember getting them in gas stations of Colorado since 1977.
@@Trapper50cal Wow! Exactly! "Bama". You've got a good memory. Same here in Texas, maybe a few years prior to '77.
Lmao! Jeez, Grandma’s brutal. 😂😂😂
"Cream pies. Dont google that." funniest line ever!
You haven't had blueberry pie? You're missing out
Or peach pie?! (But then, I suppose cinnamon is a near must for peach pie.)
I'm 28 and this year I experienced a slice of wild Maine blueberry pie, the kind of pie with fresh berries rather than baked. My life has changed forever.
@@chrissessions6108 I didn't like fruit pies as a kid, and never ate blueberries until my forties. At a party, I tried one out of politeness, made with the small wild berries, as you said, and it was very good
Meh. I'll take the vastly superior and vastly more expensive wild huckleberry pie.
@@AtarahDerek Never had huckleberry pie. Blackberry pie is the best followed by boysenberry pie followed by Marionberry pie, in my biased opinion.
My grandmother grew up in Missouri during the depression. She made vinegar pie.
Citrus was not available in the midwest during those hard times. Her vinegar pie tasted like lemon pie.
I'll have to try some!!
Interesting.
I made one before they're very good. Sadly I found out i have a vinger allergy.
emmymadeinjapan on youtube has done the vinegar pie in her hard times playlist, I believe.
Love vinegar pie.
3:51 I agree and I actually really love both. 😂
This is all very well, but there are still 2 dozen more pies that are marvelous and totally addictive.
“Some of us have a 9 month head-start”....I totally lost it 😆🤣
6:20 "Cream pie. Ah, no, no, don't Google that one!" 😂 LMFAO!
I googled "spotted dick,' you might wanna pass that one up as well.
But if you Google (or better, Duck Duck Go) "Boston Creme Pie," invented in colonial Boston, it is not a pie at all, no crust; it's a cake.
The phone call with his grandma had me rolling 😂 I've been through those same type of calls my entire life
I had Razzleberry pie tonight. Red raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries all together, HEAVENLY! Marie Callendar frozen, it’s marvelous
Can't beat that pecan pie....one year, my mom sent me home with a whole pecan pie...heaven! My husband had one piece, but my kids thought it looked gross. I ate the rest of it and gained 15 pounds. So worth it!
I LOVE pecan pie
It is delicious!
The only thing I've had that is better than pecan pie is pecan tart, which is basically pecan pie but with a shortbread crust instead of pastry crust. It should be illegal! 😋
You gained 15 pounds eating one pie? How large was it?!
@@richardvinsen2385 I am filled with the urge to go wildly overboard on answering that question. I'm going to get calorie data on pecan pie and figure out exactly how much would need to be eaten to gain 15 lbs. Wish me luck!
I love key lime pie with graham cracker crust! So tart and sweet... my favorite!
it is the best!
Graham cracker crust for every pie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Anything with condensed milk is delicious!!
My favorite pie! Key Lime
This Florida boy loves it
A big YUM for all four pies!
There is a town in New Mexico named Pie Town! The cafe’s name is The Pie-0-neer
If you like pecan pie, Louisville, Kentucky has a pie that’s basically a pecan pie with chocolate. It’s called a derby pie.
Yesss! Or checkered pie cus derby is actually a triad mark! Like how all facial tissues are called Kleenex! 😃
@@amandashortsle2359 granted, but derby pie is more likely to show up on a web search
Also called a dixie pie. Delicious.
We call that a Chocolate Pecan Pie. There are two versions served at my church:
Pecan pie with chocolate chips mixed into the middle
Pecan pie with unsweetened cocoa powder mixed into the middle
Kids gravitate to the first one, adult foodies to the second.
Try both; choose your favorite.
I
Don't get Lawrence started on the combo of chocolate and pecans. 😃
You need to try Derby Pie. It combined pecans and chocolate (As well a a hint of Bourbon whiskey, thus the name)
A co-worker rattled off the recipe for Derby Pie and the first time I made it I kept adding more butter, but still wouldn't "pour" into the pie crust. It became Derby Rock. When discussing it the next day, she asked if I whisked the eggs first. WHAT EGGS? She never mentioned eggs! Derby Rock is also delicious.
I prefer Derby pie to regular pecan pie!
I tried Derby Pie finally and it's not worth it's price. Stick to Pecan, an Edward's Pecan pie run circles around it.
It's good, in small slices.
Crack Pie
great choices, one of my favorite after moving over here in Gooseberry-Pie. Great combination on sweet and tart.
Growing up, I had a gooseberry bush in the back yard. I would KILL for some fresh gooseberries,.Haven't seen any in 40 years!!!
Here's one out of left field - the chili frito pie, born in Texas. Prepare some Texas chili (preferably Wolf Brand chili without beans), pour Fritos corn chips into a large bowl then pour the chili into that bowl. Top with shredded cheese to taste. This is not dessert - it is a meal and a gustatory delight which is one of Texas' two great contributions to world cuisine.
When I was growing up here in NC, my grandfather had four pecan trees in his yard. We ate pecan pies PACKED throughout with pecans; not just a layer on top of the sweet gloopy layer below, but ALL chock full of pecans! 😋 Those were the BEST ‼️😊💕
You do not put cinnamon in sweet potato pie,a little nutmeg and vanilla.This is from a 73 year old Southern woman who has been baking since I was 8
Hopefully they let you stop baking soon
I mean, you CAN put it in there, but you shouldn't. Aside from being overpowering, it turns your beautiful orange pie an ugly brown.
You might be an old white woman so you don’t know what you’re talking about but every old black woman knows to put cinnamon in a sweet potato pie 🥧 since they were the ones cooking them and passing down the recipes for centuries🤷🏽♀️
@@mhisti But couldn’t invent the wheel. Sure honey, you invented the sweet potato pie GTFOH
Zackly. Cinnamon goes only in the pumpkin....
Sweet potato pie is a gift from heaven. Puts pumpkin pie to shame!
You are 100% correct on both Pumpkin and Pecan pies! 🥧
Your hair cut look good. Your wife did a great job. You should give her a tip.
Give her a tip or theeee tip? Lol sorry I had to share 😂
If it was really good, he should give her more than just the tip.
Britain may have made apple pie, but America perfected it
I always thought the Dutch invented it.
@@1stAmbientGrl I only know Dutch apple pie as having either ice cream on top of it, or you place a slit in the crust topping and pour some heavy cream into the pie before you bake it. End result is the same dairy flavor as melted ice cream. I only know this because the alien loved it so much in the movie Starman and I wanted to make it to know what the big deal was.

Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about it in 1381
Just because Chaucer wrote about it doesn’t mean he invented it! 😜 The Brits have the oldest written version of a lasagna, but that doesn’t mean it was invented there. A lot of chefs were barely literate- recipes were passed orally and oversimplified any written recipes.

You could say that about every countries food though not just England
Blueberry pir is my absolute favorite! Also, add a little lemon to the blueberry also, yum!
pecan pie has been my favorite forever. a nice variation is to replace about half the corn syrup with an equal amount of semisweet chocolate chips, then a couple tablespoons of bourbon.
Honorable mention: Strawberry Pie, made famous by the former restaurant powerhouse known as Shoney’s /Big Boy restaurants.
Strawberry pie a only good without that awful syrupy glaze
Also Strawberry Rhubarb pie
Shoney's breakfast bar and strawberry pie: 2 things I hope they have in heaven. 💖
@@davidterry6155 I used to LOVE that Strawberry Rhubarb pie growing up. It was my favorite at Big Boys !
Shoneys still exists all over the Midwest and Southeast.
"Pee-Can" is a receptacle one urinates in when a toilet cannot be readily found. Puh-cahn.....Love, from Texas ❤
My aunt had pecan trees in her Waco, Texas yard. She would send us pecans every year. The best pecan pie and pralines ever. The fresher the pecans the better.
My grandmother used to make a rare one: peanut butter pie. Which was awesome.
I didn't know that was rare, I assumed that was common
Oh my! Sounds wonderful!
Mind sharing the recipe with us?
@@ivetterodriguez1994 sorry my grandmother died 25 years ago.
I have had that. It was ok.
Dear Mr. Brown: You have missed one critically important American pie, especially if you love chocolate. Namely, Boston Cream Pie. Try it. Trust me. :) Also, yep... Sweet Potato Pie and Pumpkin Pie have nothing in common, but I forgive you for that as it takes experience to understand it, especially if they are spiced similarly.
Isn’t Boston Cream Pie actually a cake though
@@nejitentenlee21 Not the version I’m thinking of. Oooey gooey chocolate pie goodness! :)
Another vote for Boston Cream Pie
My birthday falls on National Boston Cream Pie Day which is October 23.
@@nejitentenlee21 much like moon pie is cream wrapped up in cake material I guess. Or you could think of it as an odd off like cheese CAKE which is pie not unlike key lime pie.
True story. I went through US air force basic training back in '82. We were all given 5 minutes to eat any meal. I lived for 6 weeks on pecan pie and water. I adore pecan pie to this day.
Jazz up your pumpkin pie (batter) with a handful of chopped cranberries. They also go great in apple pie.
In PA, there is shoofly pie, both wet-bottom and dry-bottom.
Wet-bottom is a must. Easier to eat.
Wet please
Haven't had it in almost 40 years.
I figure wet-bottom was initially an accident.
Rawyyy1 oh shoofly pie. Its taken for granted around where I live, looked down on as not being as rich/exciting, but its oh so good. Shoofly and funny cake. May my local grocery store forever carry both ♥️
Southerner here raised on pecan pie. I feel sorry for the rest of the world for not having this delicacy.
“But for me, there’s only one pie that matters, and it’s this:”
*Queue immediate airwick ad with logo right where the pie graphics have been going*
The grandma on the phone bit reminded me of Bob Newhart...
There is a restaurant called "The Busy Corner" in Goodfield, IL, between Bloomington and Peoria.
They have a ridicously large pie counter with a couple of dozen different varieties of pie baked fresh daily.
We stop there practically every time we drive past.
I highly recommend you check it out the next time you are downstate, since you live in Illinois anyway.
I would not put it past the Key Lime Pie event to add to the Florida Man stories. There are SO many...
LOL!!
Buttermilk Chess pie. Anything with butter, milk, eggs, and sugar as the four main ingredients has to be good... or at the very least, not bad.
Yes, I have found it under 'vinegar pie' too - it's so fricken fantastic. I feel like I should make one tomorrow
SmilingEyes1938 second recommendation Ive seen for a buttermilk pie in this comment section yet someone Ive never heard of it before. I see baking in my future.
Nothing like a very good Buttermilk Chess Pie
You are a REAL Southerner 😻😻 Thats a great one. Chess pie is kinda like pecan pie without nuts. But not made exactly same
@@hah3456 At least no nuts in the pie, in the kitchen, tho, may be another story...
Don’t feel bad Lawrence, I was born and raised in USA and I’m in my 50s, I can’t tell the difference between sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie either. I like both.
As a commentator and an observer of things around him, Laurence is Britain's greatest export since Alistair Cooke.🇺🇸🇬🇧
Believe it or not, there's no pie in Germany. If you want to make one yourself, you won't be able to find the baking pan for it. Last Christmas a German family member made me a traditional apple pie. She had the recipe spot-on, it was great. But she made it in a German tort pan so the shape was wrong. Everyone asked how I liked it and if it was authentic and I said it's perfect except that the crust is too vertical. American pies have a 45 degree angle to the crust. I think they were amazed at how German (critical) I've become, but I had to tell the truth.
Just bought a few new pie tins in Germany, and as you said, they have rather vertical sides... I have to decide if the pumpkin or pecan goes into those… A few years ago I found some with more "normal" sides, though.
They don’t have our pie pans in the UK either, at least it seems so from watching Great British Baking Show. They put pie in tart pans. WRONG. That’s not a pie, it’s a tart.
German. Critical. Say no more.
Wtf difference does that make? That is nitpicking at the highest level.
Oh the German in me perfectly understands that the correct angle of the pie crust is essential to full enjoyment of said pie.
I love that he cut himself off from chocolate to free himself up for more sweets 😂
The cutaway to chatting with relatives on the phone about the wonkieness of the US very funny...very clever.
Laurence is correct. Pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie are indistinguishable. This call for a double-blind test.
im partial to blueberry/blackberry cobbler the secret is about a teaspoon of lemon juice. I also Love apple pie.
Yes, you need the squeeze of lemon. It really brightens the flavor of the berries.
I don't mind the flavor of blackberry cobbler/pie, but I do hate those nasty little seeds that end up stuck in your teeth for the rest of the day.
Why didn’t he try marionberry pie it is the best.
So what time should I be over? It's okay, I have my own fork.
