[quote=Anonymous]I’m watching a pie episode of Great British Bake-off and the showstopper challenge is American pies. The judges and many of the contestants comment that American pies are disgustingly sweet and “have a lot going on.” The contestants made a key lime, a banana toffee, a pecan pie with chocolate ganache on top (lol), a pumpkin peanut butter (uh?), and various other pumpkin pies. Anyway, the positive comments from the judges included “not too sweet” and “that’s closer to a British pie”. I’m American but lived in England for a couple years as a young woman. I remember looking for corn syrup to make a pecan pie one year and couldn’t find it, though there are plenty of other liquid sugars available in English stores. I know Brits are more likely to eat savory pies than we are, but don’t they like sweet pies for dessert? Also, since we’re in the middle of pie season, what are your favorite pies?[/quote]
