You seem stuck in the 90s.

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.

I guess I’m the odd person out, but I can’t get excited about pie. Give me a good tiramisu or lava cake and I’m in heaven, but crust and cooked fruit just doesn’t do it for me.

Try Pie Gourmet in Vienna.

I’m in my 40s and like pie, my teenage kids love pie though. I guess they didn’t get the memo that it’s for old people.

You want readers to fly to Austria just to try a piece of pie ?

Haha, you aren’t from around these parts are you?

PP.

Maybe this thread isn't really about pie, either? OP?

And there's a reason there are rock songs about pie. It is sexy in a way that, say, a Hummingbird cake just isn't.

Those songs aren’t really about pie 😘

Right. I think everyone knows that.

This is an interesting observation. You are correct, and I like the way your brain works.

My favorite postpartum meal was a homemade fresh peach pie. I shared a tiny bit of it with my husband. Yes, I said meal. And I’d do it again *shakes fist at op like a Scooby-Doo villain*

My 6 year old doesn’t like any pie either. Fruit, pumpkin, chocolate etc. Crazy. Everyone else loves pie! I imagine she will love it someday. She certainly has plenty of opportunities to try it!

Pizza pie !!!

Apple pie !!

Peach pie !

P.S. What's a cobbler ?

Why are some of you people settling for crap pie crust? Crispy, flaky, and fabulous -- that's a pie crust.

Flaky and crispy is still soft. Easy for old people to eat. Are you eating crunchy pies?

Do you know words?

Are you genuinely arguing that a good, flaky, crispy *pie crust* should be dry and brittle?

And seriously did you like add the red lines to that screenshot from dictionary.com? Holy shit

Yes, good pie crust is dry, not soggy. It is brittle and shatters into fine flakes when you bite into it -- it is not rubbery, or chewy, or ... soft. WTAF.

I added red because you still seem to have a problem with what words mean, good god. You need all the help you can get. Sad.

Yikes

What do you think it should be? Wet? Soggy, damp, moist? It's dry and crisp. NOT "soft." NOT "wet."
