Yes another food thread!: PIES! Best and where/how to buy?

Growing up on a farm there were days in the summer that my mother would give each of my siblings and myself a bowl and ask us to go pick raspberries. While our bowls normally came back half eaten, the pies she made from them were delicious. We also had apple, pear and peach trees where the routine was the same. The garden had strawberries and rhubarb and there's a half acres of blueberries. She made some of the best fruit pies anywhere and the best meals those days were just eating the fruit while mowing the grass outside.

As for somethign not my moms, the Blue Goose In Hancock MD on 68 has a great bakery. Fruits of the forest pie is my normal pick up on the way back home from PA.

Good times and good memories no doubt!!

Pie making seems to be on the decrease, at least in my circles. My grandmother made tons of pies. My mother made more cakes than pies. My wife only makes shoe fly. I doubt my 20 something nieces have every made a pe
Agree, we rarely see it in our family now except for a tradition of having some good friends over for pie night on Thanksgiving eve. The wives and daughters make pumpkin and apple pies to serve the next day. Along with a little wine, it’s a fun evening for them.

I'm all about apple pie with vanilla ice cream. The filling is good, but the crust is what makes a pie. That said, the brown paper bag apple pie from the Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago, WI (outside of Milwaukee) is AMAZING. best I've ever had, hands down

and of course, being from York originally, I have to give a shout out to Shoofly Pie...

Best pie? Bought? This isn't bought, I make it myself. Tomato pie, and no not like that stuff u see in Philly!! Basically it's tomatoes, onions, basil, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayo, bacon in some sort of crust. We used phyllo dough for this. Some use bisquett. Love this in the summer
