[quote=Anonymous][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]

Agree.  Plus pies are very time consuming to make.  An apple pie from scratch takes nearly all day: make the crust, refrigerating it, peeling and slicing all the apples, rolling out the dough and shaping pie, chilling or again, then it bakes for over an hour, then has to cool close to warm/room temp to fully set.  I only make pie for holidays. [/quote]
OK maybe. But apple pie with premade crust takes about as long as it takes the oven to heat if you don't bother to peel the apples.[/quote]
