[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m old. I hate pie. I’ve always hated pie. I do like some of the fillings though.  
Why do younger people insist upon making over-generalizations about diverse groups of people and entire generations. Yes, like I just did.  Just tell the cute story about your neighbor. There’s no need to leap from your neighbor as an individual, to a huge, multi-generational group of people.

Grumpy oldster.

I truly don’t get pumpkin pie, but will try very hard not to over-generalize about the people who seem to eat it happily.

OP isn’t wrong. No one is baking pies for grade school parties. Generally, you either learn to love pie as your tastebuds change or you grew up with it 60 years ago. Both tend to an older population.[/quote]

Pie can be awkward for kids to eat. They have to handle a fork and filling that slides out of crust. We made peach hand pies at camp one summer and every single kid ate them.

ES even ask that cupcakes be served rather than cake. [/quote]
