apple pie with cheddar crust

Not to me it isn't. What if Rebecca wins, this changes everything. What if there was only one place in NYC where you could experience a "seafood shack".

Exactly. I think IP rights have been pushed too far already (a copyright term of life plus 75 years?), and a victory by POB could have serious consequences. Everyone steals from everyone else -- that's how ideas and art (and cuisine) evolve. Allowing someone to own the right to a restaurant concept could really stifle creativity and innovation.

Maybe McFarland violated her trust. Maybe he's a worldclass jerk. But IMO she crossed the line when she filed the lawsuit.

I agree with Kim Nyland; jumping on any possible, theoretical hint of bias is just far too easy, especially in this all-about-taking-sides situation.

This is also about free publicity. Mary's Fish Camp, which has not been mentioned, should be furious.

I was somewhere recently where a piece of lemon meringue was forced on me. The meringue had started to fall apart and there was what seemed to be water between the lemon and the meringue. Yuck.

I like the idea of pies- used to love, love, love apples pies- but haven't been able to find a crust that does't get soggy or fall apart on me. I now make apple crisp with blueberries. I serve it warm with soy vanilla ice cream. So good, it almost makes me forget it's soy ice cream.

I don't love pie either, forrester... not huge on sweets, and never have been thrilled with the crust. However, I live with a pie fanatic, so I do bake them fairly regularly. Oh, and I need to a add this to the ashamed thread -- I use frozen crust because in thirty years of trying, I never have mastered pie crust ::blush::

When I do eat pie, I like pumpkin (my own is the best). Actually, I like custard pies in general -- banana cream and key lime (this should NEVER be made with meringue) rate highly.

I love pie! I work for a gentleman who makes fantastic pies- so far my two favorites are his Tollhouse cookie pie (sans baking powder, everything is the same as the cookie) and red raspberry cream. The cream filling is TO DIE FOR...I made it once but was told I had to forget the recipe. So I did 'cause I respect him and would like to keep the job. :)

I like both somewhat chilled but not cold.

I dislike rhubarb, peach and citrus pies. Everything else is fair game!

am i the only person that doesn't like pie?

JerzeeTomato - I am intrigued by this ricotta pie. Is it a bit like a cheese cake? Could you give us some more information.

Glad you asked. I just learned how to bake pies last year and really enjoy my own rather than anything bought. Here are some of my pies. The best crust I've found is at Elise's Simply Recipes. I use her all-butter crust with almonds, and substitute agave nectar for brown sugar. It's wonderful, as her recipes tend to be.

The best combination of fruit I've tried was blueberry nectarine. That was such a huge success, people ate it for breakfast.

Ricotta pie (with 1 pkg of cream cheese added) drop of orange oil and sweet pastry crust. Some chopped bittersweet chocolate.

Well, no problem, just a thought. I have a local market. And several of the antiques dealers there either had information on such things, or have dealt with them in the past. Any good antiques dealer will know, or know how to get that information. I was able to get a value on my cookbooks from the 1800's from such a source.

BaHa - any local antiques dealer will be able to tell you, or can find a value of it for you!
