@gingerw There's such a thing as "healthy pie"? If it involves pie crust, it is not healthy. I do love turkey pies from a turkey farm that makes great ones, with or without vegetables, but I haven't had one for years because they really are not very healthy.

For dessert pies? I love key lime, and as someone else has mentioned, I loved mince pie when I was young but haven't had that in many years. My parents always bought them for weekend desserts in the fall. We used to go to an incredible bakery. When the owners retired they closed the place rather than sell it because they didn't want to risk their name being associated with an inferior bakery if a new owner was not as good as they were. My father and I would go there every Saturday and buy homemade baked beans, their bread, and a dessert for Sunday dinner. I can still imagine the taste of that bread.

@contentandwell Isn't it amazing how our memories about food or special holiday meals, or smelling something today that triggers our memories from childhood meals, opens up a big box of feelings!?

My mother was quite the cook. Pumpkin, apple, cherry, mincemeat pies. Cookies of all kinds. My favorite desert was a simple banana sliced, with a little milk and cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. I recall attending a function where there was a "cake walk". Of course she contributed a pie. I won a ticket, and collected a German chocolate cake [had never tasted such a beautiful creation!] She was royally p***ed I didn't choose her pie!
