Yup, I do. But ONLY when it is made with homemade pastry. No graham cracker or store-bought crust for me!!

Mr. Kimble's comment about green beans is just one example of the many reasons I find him unappealing, often wrong (sometimes very, very wrong) about a "Best Recipe."

I agree with Julie, Mr. Kimble comes across as an arrogant know-it-all and I cannot stand to watch him on television...I happen to love green beans but find Mr. Kimble disgusting!!

I must add that ONE OF my favorite recipe for pancakes came from Mr. Kimble's "Best Recipes" book but I shudder with disgust every time I think about the title of his cookbooks....What arrogance!!! To think you can come up with recipes superior to anyone else's.

My fave is hot turkey sandwiches: sliced turkey over toast drenched in hot gravy with cranberry sauce on the side.

Fully agree with Julie about the pompous Mr. Kimball and the annoying our-way-is-the-only-way tone of CI. His pretentious essays are one of the reasons why I stopped buying the print version of the magazine, which I have subscribed to (in one form or another) since the charter issue in 1993. Instead, I subscribe to the Web version, where I can avoid his horrible homilies and also gain access to the entire archives with a simple search function rather than having to comb through back issues. Despite my issues with him and the magazine's tone , I still find CI useful, especially their equipment and product testings (the latter of which I take with a grain of salt since their results frequently contradict themselves).

I hate pumpkin pie, it is one of only three foods (cantaloupe and ketchup are the other two) that I can't even stand to smell, much less eat. Ick.

For those of you (Ed) who like pumpkin-whatever-else (ice cream, cheesecake, bread etc.): Is it the custardy texture of the pie you don't like?

I love pimpkin pie so much that as a kid I used to ask for it as my birthday cake, thus ensuring that I would get it at least twice a year.

I love pumpkin pie..and I love key lime pie. But just like I would not be up for pumpkin pie in July - I wouldn't be up for key lime in November. My pie tastes have seasons attached!!! Except for warm peach pie. I could eat that year round with ice cream on top. YUM!

Funny, I'm a fan of pumpkin pie, but stand firmly in the apple pie tolerators' camp. I've never had an apple pie that I truly liked. I'm not going to turn it down if that's the only kind of pie, but I'd much rather have pumpkin, cherry (even with the canned filling), caramel banana, pecan, key lime, etc. I love all kinds of pie, but apple is at the bottom.
