00:00:22 ◼   ► brain and it was hardly any okay

00:00:24 ◼   ► honestly compared to other nerds I'm

00:00:27 ◼   ► hardly any oh yeah that's like nerds can

00:00:29 ◼   ► go pretty far I just thought I would win

00:00:32 ◼   ► digits over you but I don't have any at

00:00:36 ◼   ► all I need to turn around and start

00:00:37 ◼   ► memorizing yeah fail we are talking

00:00:40 ◼   ► about pi not on pi day not it's not pi

00:00:43 ◼   ► day which i think is kind of BS e yeah I

00:00:47 ◼   ► don't want to pile on the pi day right

00:00:49 ◼   ► with my PI urban mode

00:00:51 ◼   ► we're being innovators our innovators

00:00:56 ◼   ► anyway so yeah we're gonna talk about

00:00:59 ◼   ► pies because this is the pie season it's

00:01:02 ◼   ► really in his pies I mean you can make

00:01:05 ◼   ► pies pretty much any time you want but

00:01:07 ◼   ► it does feel like they are you know

00:01:09 ◼   ► along with other indulgent and dessert

00:01:11 ◼   ► foods it seems like pies are seemingly

00:01:14 ◼   ► more permitted and more socially

00:01:17 ◼   ► acceptable and and for some reason you

00:01:18 ◼   ► consider them like oh I have to ignore

00:01:20 ◼   ► all health and reasonability for this

00:01:23 ◼   ► month or whatever piece of pie right

00:01:26 ◼   ► exactly and pie for breakfast after you

00:01:28 ◼   ► know because you eat leftover pie

00:01:29 ◼   ► obviously and but I always find it

00:01:31 ◼   ► strange that holiday season is for pies

00:01:33 ◼   ► but most fruit pies are best in the

00:01:37 ◼   ► summertime because you have the fruit

00:01:40 ◼   ► available yeah that is kind of weird

00:01:42 ◼   ► isn't it right but like you I think of

00:01:44 ◼   ► pie like making pie for the holiday but

00:01:46 ◼   ► I guess like you make apple pie and

00:01:47 ◼   ► pumpkin pie and like holiday pie anyway

00:01:52 ◼   ► so yeah we're talking about pies we're

00:01:54 ◼   ► go we're not eating them right now we

00:01:57 ◼   ► don't have 14 pies in front of us that

00:01:59 ◼   ► we're gonna taste we're gonna test all

00:02:00 ◼   ► these pies actually but for one of these

00:02:03 ◼   ► it's kind of oh but one of your

00:02:05 ◼   ► birthday's I had that key lime pie party

00:02:07 ◼   ► yeah and we have all different key lime

00:02:09 ◼   ► pies and if anyone was like what should

00:02:11 ◼   ► I bring I'm like bring a key lime pie

00:02:13 ◼   ► and so we had a lot of different key

00:02:15 ◼   ► lime pies to try that was awesome that

00:02:19 ◼   ► was a really fun party I like a good

00:02:20 ◼   ► theme yeah can I say

00:02:23 ◼   ► turns out my key lime pie was the best

00:02:26 ◼   ► pie who knew who knew we knew Arthur

00:02:28 ◼   ► Arthur knew anyway so I thought it was

00:02:34 ◼   ► actually I had some trouble deciding

00:02:36 ◼   ► what counts as a pie so everything

00:02:39 ◼   ► counts as a pie that's kind of yeah

00:02:40 ◼   ► that's I was gonna lean towards a more

00:02:42 ◼   ► permissive attitude here well that's

00:02:43 ◼   ► what wikipedia says you should see some

00:02:45 ◼   ► of the things they were counting

00:02:46 ◼   ► empanadas as pies wells okay so if you

00:02:49 ◼   ► go into finishin it's like a hand pie

00:02:51 ◼   ► suggestions like I think the British

00:02:53 ◼   ► definition of pie is much more broad

00:02:55 ◼   ► than the American definition of pie no

00:02:58 ◼   ► because we call those things hand pies

00:03:00 ◼   ► also sort of but if you ask most

00:03:04 ◼   ► Americans yeah I think most Americans

00:03:06 ◼   ► don't know what mincemeat pies or hand

00:03:08 ◼   ► pies are are you kidding anyone who is a

00:03:10 ◼   ► relative of an immigrant of some sort

00:03:13 ◼   ► has definitely heard of various I guess

00:03:15 ◼   ► that fringe pies you would say because I

00:03:19 ◼   ► don't know my grandpa is made meat pies

00:03:21 ◼   ► yeah they were like Italian meat pies

00:03:24 ◼   ► they waited thirty forty pounds I don't

00:03:26 ◼   ► know yeah you just like put like a whole

00:03:29 ◼   ► bunch of entire animals in a tray yeah

00:03:32 ◼   ► and like but all the salted meat animals

00:03:34 ◼   ► from the Italian you know butcher shop

00:03:37 ◼   ► so you have various salted meat log

00:03:40 ◼   ► animals that go in there exactly but

00:03:45 ◼   ► yeah he made those things that's like a

00:03:46 ◼   ► meat pie yeah yep all right I guess we

00:03:50 ◼   ► should dive into this we should so do

00:03:52 ◼   ► you have any honorable mentions I do

00:03:54 ◼   ► actually I have two okay

00:03:55 ◼   ► I do too all right well but it's a whole

00:03:58 ◼   ► category well that's fair because yeah

00:04:00 ◼   ► III think the definition of pie here is

00:04:03 ◼   ► so broad and and on that note my first

00:04:05 ◼   ► honor mention is chicken pot pie whoa

00:04:08 ◼   ► honorable mention yeah because if I want

00:04:12 ◼   ► pie chances are I don't want chicken pot

00:04:14 ◼   ► pie however I do want chicken pot pie

00:04:16 ◼   ► well if you want dessert you don't want

00:04:18 ◼   ► that however can you just buy again

00:04:20 ◼   ► because I really like that when you save

00:04:22 ◼   ► up chicken pot pie is really good

00:04:27 ◼   ► the best day yes I love my needs I don't

00:04:30 ◼   ► know why I think that the word potpies

00:04:32 ◼   ► and Marco refuses to say it for me I

00:04:36 ◼   ► don't know why because he's holding yeah

00:04:38 ◼   ► because you care so much about this one

00:04:39 ◼   ► weird word for some reason anyway say it

00:04:41 ◼   ► so I think chicken pot pies are amazing

00:04:44 ◼   ► I we've had a couple other kinds of pot

00:04:47 ◼   ► pies but none of them are as good I

00:04:48 ◼   ► think if you're going to talk about pot

00:04:49 ◼   ► pies chicken pot pies or the pot pies to

00:04:51 ◼   ► be pot pies so like that's day

00:04:55 ◼   ► those are great and they definitely

00:04:57 ◼   ► deserve a list a spot in any pie list

00:05:00 ◼   ► even though they are not desserts and

00:05:02 ◼   ► when Americans think pie they think

00:05:03 ◼   ► dessert but I think you can't you can't

00:05:06 ◼   ► ignore the wonderful wonderful

00:05:07 ◼   ► everything about chicken pot pie chicken

00:05:10 ◼   ► pot pie is my number two I'm so sorry I

00:05:15 ◼   ► was so worried that you would get mad

00:05:16 ◼   ► that I included it yeah it's a pie it's

00:05:19 ◼   ► it's pot pie like it's a pie it looks

00:05:23 ◼   ► like a pie it tastes like a pie it has

00:05:24 ◼   ► crust that's made exactly the same as a

00:05:26 ◼   ► sweet pie and we didn't say this is like

00:05:28 ◼   ► top for sweet pies top for savory pies

00:05:31 ◼   ► top for pies like period like three

00:05:33 ◼   ► point one four point three point period

00:05:36 ◼   ► that's how most decimals have two

00:05:40 ◼   ► periods alright so what is your first

00:05:43 ◼   ► honorable mention my honorable mention I

00:05:45 ◼   ► only have one it's a whole category it

00:05:47 ◼   ► is the quiche that's why you know I

00:05:49 ◼   ► didn't think about quiches it is kind of

00:05:51 ◼   ► like an egg pie right yeah I crust right

00:05:54 ◼   ► and it has there are other various

00:05:56 ◼   ► breakfast tea egg concoctions that do

00:05:59 ◼   ► not have a crust and I would not

00:06:01 ◼   ► consider those pies but a quiche is on

00:06:03 ◼   ► is on the border and we have a table is

00:06:06 ◼   ► not a pie frittata in the rest yeah so

00:06:08 ◼   ► the only reason that quiche is a

00:06:11 ◼   ► honorable mention and not on the list is

00:06:13 ◼   ► because it doesn't have pie in the name

00:06:14 ◼   ► like a pot pie so I felt a little bit

00:06:17 ◼   ► strange putting it into my pie top for

00:06:20 ◼   ► well but I think if you look at the

00:06:23 ◼   ► construction in the ingredient I mean

00:06:24 ◼   ► they're like the ingredients are not

00:06:26 ◼   ► that different from like a custard pie

00:06:28 ◼   ► you have milk cream butter and some

00:06:31 ◼   ► flavoring things in it like that's

00:06:34 ◼   ► cheese the eggs and eggs do yeah and

00:06:36 ◼   ► like so you have eggs yeah yes but like

00:06:38 ◼   ► that that's many of the same ingredient

00:06:41 ◼   ► as a custard pie that you know

00:06:43 ◼   ► differently prepared and differently

00:06:45 ◼   ► seasoned probably and with different

00:06:46 ◼   ► flavor profiles that you're going for

00:06:48 ◼   ► but a quiche is like a well-made quiche

00:06:50 ◼   ► is I would I would call that a pie by

00:06:53 ◼   ► any reasonable definition quiche is one

00:06:55 ◼   ► of my favorite breakfasts or meals in

00:06:57 ◼   ► general I just love a good quiche it's

00:06:59 ◼   ► quite good carmelize onion

00:07:02 ◼   ► oh yeah yeah what goat cheese that's a

00:07:04 ◼   ► very subtle pick mm-hmm all right my my

00:07:07 ◼   ► other on would mention is oreo

00:07:11 ◼   ► cheesecake wait is cheesecake up hi-c I

00:07:15 ◼   ► thought about this but I think I don't

00:07:17 ◼   ► think no I don't think cheesecakes or

00:07:19 ◼   ► pies well so why not I'm curious okay

00:07:21 ◼   ► cuz it doesn't have a crust her toes

00:07:24 ◼   ► no it doesn't it doesn't have that kind

00:07:27 ◼   ► of crust it doesn't have like a I've

00:07:28 ◼   ► constructed this crust it's like crumbly

00:07:31 ◼   ► cookie crust that is packed down it's

00:07:33 ◼   ► not up the sides usually you're right it

00:07:36 ◼   ► isn't usually up the sides however I

00:07:38 ◼   ► would say that the that the crust being

00:07:40 ◼   ► packed down made of like crumbly stuff

00:07:42 ◼   ► there's lots of pies where they have

00:07:44 ◼   ► graham crackers or Oreos as as a crushed

00:07:47 ◼   ► down crust like I don't think it needs

00:07:48 ◼   ► to be a baked pastry crust for it to

00:07:50 ◼   ► count as a pie but a graham cracker

00:07:51 ◼   ► crust is a baked pastry crust if you do

00:07:53 ◼   ► it right well you can actually bake the

00:07:55 ◼   ► graham cracker well but and and

00:07:57 ◼   ► cheesecakes can have that too and

00:07:59 ◼   ► sometimes do but riddle me this mm-hmm a

00:08:02 ◼   ► cheesecake it's more of a the crust is

00:08:05 ◼   ► more of a layer of the Cheesecake that's

00:08:08 ◼   ► true and also the name says cake

00:08:12 ◼   ► well quiche doesn't say pie but we

00:08:13 ◼   ► classified it as well that's why it's an

00:08:15 ◼   ► honorable mention and this is not

00:08:16 ◼   ► mention make it all the way I need just

00:08:19 ◼   ► want to make sure that you don't have

00:08:21 ◼   ► any cheesecake sneaking into your top

00:08:23 ◼   ► four pies because I do not think that

00:08:25 ◼   ► cheesecake is a pie I don't have any

00:08:27 ◼   ► cheesecake in my top four but that's

00:08:29 ◼   ► only because I don't like them that much

00:08:30 ◼   ► I like them a little bit now there are

00:08:33 ◼   ► cheese pies I'm aware of and they're

00:08:35 ◼   ► very different than a cheesecake so you

00:08:39 ◼   ► are allowed to pick cheese pie yes you

00:08:42 ◼   ► are not allowed to pick cheesecake

00:08:44 ◼   ► because I only in classify this as an

00:08:46 ◼   ► honorable mention I'm gonna let you have

00:08:47 ◼   ► this one but I think the the actual

00:08:49 ◼   ► difference between many types of pies

00:08:52 ◼   ► and cheesecakes is not that big

00:08:55 ◼   ► a difference to the point where I think

00:08:56 ◼   ► cheesecakes should be classified as pies

00:08:59 ◼   ► even though the rest of the world will

00:09:01 ◼   ► you know we'll get you down for that

00:09:03 ◼   ► similar to how Tomatoes are clearly

00:09:06 ◼   ► fruits even though the entire world says

00:09:09 ◼   ► they're vegetables they are by most

00:09:11 ◼   ► reasonable metrics fruits yes of course

00:09:15 ◼   ► so you don't taste delicious like fruit

00:09:18 ◼   ► tastes delicious

00:09:19 ◼   ► they're pretty good and yeah but it's

00:09:21 ◼   ► biting into a tomato that's that's rough

00:09:25 ◼   ► if it's a bad tomato just like like a

00:09:28 ◼   ► picket hold a good tomato like an apple

00:09:30 ◼   ► all right and not to mention anyway all

00:09:39 ◼   ► right I just need to I need you to say

00:09:41 ◼   ► this what these cakes are not pies I

00:09:44 ◼   ► refuse to agree to this Tim and I will

00:09:46 ◼   ► also further derail the conversation by

00:09:48 ◼   ► saying within the category of

00:09:49 ◼   ► cheesecakes oreo cheesecake is the best

00:09:51 ◼   ► cheesecake and that includes both the

00:09:53 ◼   ► oreo bits that are throughout the white

00:09:55 ◼   ► cheesecake and also the crumbled Oreo

00:09:58 ◼   ► crust on the bottom see now are you

00:10:00 ◼   ► talking New York cheesecake or are you

00:10:01 ◼   ► talking like Italian cheesecake which I

00:10:04 ◼   ► which is which I don't really know I I'm

00:10:06 ◼   ► calling an Italian because it's made

00:10:07 ◼   ► with like the I don't want to say this

00:10:10 ◼   ► name of this cheese gotta no matter how

00:10:13 ◼   ► I say it someone hates it yes the games

00:10:16 ◼   ► that we will so we will call ricotta if

00:10:18 ◼   ► you have a problem with how to pronounce

00:10:19 ◼   ► we apologize we know that many people

00:10:21 ◼   ► have problems with how this is

00:10:22 ◼   ► pronounced however you all can't agree

00:10:24 ◼   ► on how it should be pronounced so we're

00:10:26 ◼   ► gonna go with the one that everyone can

00:10:27 ◼   ► recognize and that is simply saying

00:10:29 ◼   ► ricotta even though we are so sorry but

00:10:31 ◼   ► I cut that yes something like that this

00:13:19 ◼   ► I would it look if chicken pot pie

00:13:29 ◼   ► that is you know it's up to you which

00:13:32 ◼   ► would you rather have would you rather

00:13:33 ◼   ► have quiche or chicken pot pie or the

00:13:37 ◼   ► other pies re-enlist my number four that

00:13:40 ◼   ► I wrote down is peach raspberry that's

00:13:44 ◼   ► it yeah because you made that ya choice

00:13:46 ◼   ► right yeah I make peach raspberry pie

00:13:48 ◼   ► in the end of the summer like when

00:13:50 ◼   ► peaches are really good and I like the

00:13:53 ◼   ► little bit of raspberry because it

00:13:54 ◼   ► brings the tart into the peaches and

00:13:57 ◼   ► it's really nice do you don't not a lot

00:13:59 ◼   ► of raspberry just a little bit yeah and

00:14:00 ◼   ► I really like peach pie because you can

00:14:03 ◼   ► like sweat the peaches and get the

00:14:04 ◼   ► juices really goopy and make it kind of

00:14:07 ◼   ► like a a peach simple syrup and then

00:14:09 ◼   ► pour it back into the pie so you don't

00:14:11 ◼   ► have a lot of water because if you do

00:14:12 ◼   ► that if you don't do that then you have

00:14:14 ◼   ► like a pretty watery pie but yeah I

00:14:18 ◼   ► really like the peach raspberry pie that

00:14:20 ◼   ► I make lattice top for that one it's

00:14:23 ◼   ► it's you construct it very similarly it

00:14:25 ◼   ► appears as an apple pie yeah I'm also

00:14:28 ◼   ► going off of pies I like to make mmm

00:14:30 ◼   ► yeah and by the way behind this isoh but

00:14:33 ◼   ► I will TIF is really freaking good at

00:14:35 ◼   ► making pies like freakishly so

00:14:37 ◼   ► especially the cool the kind with all

00:14:38 ◼   ► the cool crust work like apple pie with

00:14:40 ◼   ► Lilith lattice top and everything so

00:14:42 ◼   ► that's that definitely plays in here I

00:14:44 ◼   ► think you should be you're really

00:14:46 ◼   ► freaking good at pies and it's a great

00:14:48 ◼   ► because then I get pie and I get good

00:14:50 ◼   ► pie it's fantastic so I really like

00:14:53 ◼   ► peach raspberry pie I think that that

00:14:54 ◼   ► would be my number4 but if quiche counts

00:14:57 ◼   ► I might bump peach raspberry to my

00:14:59 ◼   ► honorable mention and bump up quiche but

00:15:02 ◼   ► again it depends on the meal so I don't

00:15:03 ◼   ► know like what they're tied fair enough

00:15:08 ◼   ► yep it wouldn't be topped for if we had

00:15:11 ◼   ► a top four yes honestly I don't like

00:15:14 ◼   ► most fruit pies yeah actually I had a

00:15:16 ◼   ► hard time coming up with four total

00:15:19 ◼   ► actually because you know I was looking

00:15:22 ◼   ► I I can't believe looking online to see

00:15:23 ◼   ► like you know a list of you know

00:15:24 ◼   ► America's favorite pies whatever just to

00:15:26 ◼   ► see like am I forgetting anything am I

00:15:28 ◼   ► missing anything and and there actually

00:15:30 ◼   ► were not that many that I really had in

00:15:32 ◼   ► contention here yeah there's like I

00:15:34 ◼   ► don't really care for blueberry pie

00:15:35 ◼   ► honestly

00:15:36 ◼   ► because I don't like blueberries that

00:15:39 ◼   ► strongly I find cherry pie to be too

00:15:41 ◼   ► sweet most of the time I do not care for

00:15:45 ◼   ► I don't know what else is there there's

00:15:49 ◼   ► like so many other things every rhubarb

00:15:51 ◼   ► is a popular one here for strawberries

00:15:54 ◼   ► that much I came to that realization

00:15:56 ◼   ► pretty recently yeah I felt like you're

00:16:00 ◼   ► supposed to like strawberries for so

00:16:01 ◼   ► long and I was just so indifferent about

00:16:03 ◼   ► them and now I think I'm done I'm done

00:16:06 ◼   ► with the lies I think not liking

00:16:08 ◼   ► strawberries is kind of like not liking

00:16:10 ◼   ► vanilla like in the sense that like

00:16:12 ◼   ► there are people out there who don't

00:16:14 ◼   ► like vanilla but there aren't that many

00:16:15 ◼   ► strawberry I'm like cry about it right

00:16:18 ◼   ► but like the whole world kind of assumes

00:16:20 ◼   ► that certain flavors are universally

00:16:22 ◼   ► liked vanilla is one of them and I think

00:16:23 ◼   ► strawberry is one of them too I think

00:16:24 ◼   ► pretty much everyone assumes that

00:16:25 ◼   ► everyone likes strawberry yeah but if

00:16:27 ◼   ► you don't like and I like it so I've

00:16:29 ◼   ► never felt this but if you don't like

00:16:30 ◼   ► strawberry it's probably really hard for

00:16:32 ◼   ► you how do you how does it make you feel

00:16:34 ◼   ► I don't know the texture is a little off

00:16:36 ◼   ► I prefer raspberries over strawberries

00:16:38 ◼   ► any day definitely pick a raspberry or a

00:16:40 ◼   ► strawberry I find I I do like the flavor

00:16:43 ◼   ► of rhubarb but I don't like the texture

00:16:46 ◼   ► of rhubarb so it's really iffy if you're

00:16:49 ◼   ► gonna get a good rhubarb pie or not

00:16:50 ◼   ► because if they don't properly cook the

00:16:53 ◼   ► rhubarb or treat it beforehand it I

00:16:56 ◼   ► don't know how to do it I've never made

00:16:58 ◼   ► a rhubarb pie but I know it's just too

00:17:01 ◼   ► iffy to even put in the effort

00:17:03 ◼   ► so what also like oh they're you know

00:17:05 ◼   ► making a pie is a good amount of work

00:17:07 ◼   ► because it cuz the way you make it you

00:17:08 ◼   ► make the crust from scratch you you know

00:17:10 ◼   ► easy part well for you anyway so the

00:17:15 ◼   ► point I bet if most people tried to make

00:17:17 ◼   ► a pie crust with someone who knows how

00:17:19 ◼   ► to make pie crust they would see that it

00:17:21 ◼   ► literally takes ten minutes don't want

00:17:23 ◼   ► the motor built yeah don't let the

00:17:24 ◼   ► butter melt but like there's tiny little

00:17:26 ◼   ► techniques to learn and as long as you

00:17:29 ◼   ► make it with someone who's already made

00:17:30 ◼   ► it you will see it only takes ten

00:17:32 ◼   ► minutes it has like three ingredients

00:17:33 ◼   ► and you are done and you have pie crust

00:17:36 ◼   ► and it's awesome and there's no need to

00:17:38 ◼   ► buy pie crust from the store anymore

00:17:40 ◼   ► because you almost always have the

00:17:42 ◼   ► ingredients for pie crust is just like

00:17:44 ◼   ► butter flour and water right and so yeah

00:17:47 ◼   ► unless you're doing for like

00:17:50 ◼   ► more complicated crust that has like you

00:17:52 ◼   ► know some cream cheese or something in

00:17:54 ◼   ► it for some reason but you don't have to

00:17:56 ◼   ► there's lots of things Oh God baking so

00:17:59 ◼   ► fun I love how much fun you have baking

00:18:02 ◼   ► that way I have all those fun stuff to

00:18:04 ◼   ► taste all right well what's your number

00:18:06 ◼   ► four

00:18:06 ◼   ► all right we're talking about for worst

00:18:08 ◼   ► pies my number four you were going to

00:18:11 ◼   ► despise this pick but fortunately it's

00:18:13 ◼   ► not cheesecake it is cherry cheese pie

00:18:16 ◼   ► well that's fine it's disgusting but

00:18:19 ◼   ► it's still a pie so cherry this this is

00:18:22 ◼   ► a staple of mine growing up so it's a

00:18:24 ◼   ► laughably disgusting that's part of it's

00:18:26 ◼   ► part of the the value for me a

00:18:28 ◼   ► sentimental value but I think it's also

00:18:30 ◼   ► really good it's one of the recipes that

00:18:31 ◼   ► is on the can of sweetened condensed

00:18:34 ◼   ► milk there you go if you buy the

00:18:35 ◼   ► candidate gets eagle brand like the big

00:18:37 ◼   ► brand of sweetened condensed milk it's

00:18:38 ◼   ► like it's on their website it's on some

00:18:40 ◼   ► of their cans I think and it also on the

00:18:43 ◼   ► cherry can maybe cuz that's all father's

00:18:46 ◼   ► yes so you pretty much don't make any of

00:18:49 ◼   ► this it's more than that you assemble

00:18:50 ◼   ► this pie so so you you get a premade

00:18:53 ◼   ► graham cracker crust it has to be a

00:18:55 ◼   ► grandpa crust you know so the pre-made

00:18:56 ◼   ► ones of those and don't bother making a

00:18:58 ◼   ► fresh one to put in these horrible

00:19:00 ◼   ► ingredients into the pie because you

00:19:02 ◼   ► know know know where the filling is

00:19:04 ◼   ► cream cheese sweetened condensed milk

00:19:06 ◼   ► and lemon juice blended together and

00:19:09 ◼   ► then the topping you pour that into the

00:19:12 ◼   ► graham cracker crust and you top it with

00:19:14 ◼   ► a can of those red syrupy cherry

00:19:17 ◼   ► cherries from cherry pie filling it's a

00:19:19 ◼   ► it's literally can of pie filling so

00:19:20 ◼   ► it's just like cherries in a really

00:19:23 ◼   ► thick goopy sugary red sauce is so 70s

00:19:26 ◼   ► it really is and it's really delicious

00:19:28 ◼   ► and like is it it's it really delicious

00:19:31 ◼   ► it really is mm-hmm yeah so cherokees

00:19:34 ◼   ► pie it's very easy you pretty much can't

00:19:36 ◼   ► screw it up and it's it's really you

00:19:39 ◼   ► know it's already screwed up it's really

00:19:41 ◼   ► junky flavors it's all like junk food

00:19:43 ◼   ► and and sugar and everything but it's

00:19:45 ◼   ► delicious and I love it

00:19:46 ◼   ► I don't love it as much as fancier pies

00:19:48 ◼   ► but it's definitely my number four this

00:19:50 ◼   ► is like the time when I was in school

00:19:53 ◼   ► for like first grade or something and my

00:19:55 ◼   ► parents came to open school night and my

00:19:57 ◼   ► mom cooked us beautiful homemade meals

00:20:00 ◼   ► every night it was always something

00:20:02 ◼   ► different she

00:20:03 ◼   ► very much prided herself in having

00:20:06 ◼   ► amazing dinners and being a great mom

00:20:09 ◼   ► when it came to pretty much everything

00:20:12 ◼   ► but when it came to making dinners for

00:20:15 ◼   ► her family and what does her daughter

00:20:18 ◼   ► her firstborn daughter the firstborn

00:20:20 ◼   ► granddaughter of the family put on the

00:20:24 ◼   ► wall of my favorite foods when for a

00:20:27 ◼   ► little interview thing that for open

00:20:29 ◼   ► school night stovetop stuffing stovetop

00:20:32 ◼   ► stuffing was my favorite food I probably

00:20:35 ◼   ► had it once right and my mom was

00:20:39 ◼   ► horrified I don't have ever had so this

00:20:42 ◼   ► is like one of those moments where it's

00:20:44 ◼   ► like you're like please it's not your

00:20:46 ◼   ► number one no it's my number four it

00:20:47 ◼   ► just barely made the list but I do like

00:20:49 ◼   ► it I bake a lot I know and to four of

00:20:54 ◼   ► you only have four choices you have four

00:20:58 ◼   ► slots don't worry the rest is all things

00:21:00 ◼   ► that you either make or can make okay

00:21:03 ◼   ► but still to lose one of the four to

00:21:06 ◼   ► that pie I know it does sting a little

00:21:08 ◼   ► I knew you would be upset about this I

00:21:10 ◼   ► have been okay I had to be honest it's

00:21:12 ◼   ► my number four it's okay

00:21:14 ◼   ► I know it's sentimental value yeah and

00:21:16 ◼   ► it's also just really good it's I mean

00:21:17 ◼   ► it's pure sugar but it's really good

00:21:19 ◼   ► anyway what is your number three apple

00:21:22 ◼   ► pie really okay and simple apple pie and

00:21:26 ◼   ► you and your referring only to the

00:21:28 ◼   ► lattice top four already not the crumble

00:21:30 ◼   ► top right I don't really mind as long as

00:21:31 ◼   ► it's kind of like a brown Betty apple

00:21:33 ◼   ► pie I like a lot of brown sugar and

00:21:34 ◼   ► cinnamon and you know all those little

00:21:36 ◼   ► flavors lately from my mom's recipe of

00:21:39 ◼   ► apple pie that I normally make I've been

00:21:40 ◼   ► adding a little ginger and I've been

00:21:42 ◼   ► really liking that so and when you make

00:21:45 ◼   ► I will pie you have to make it with all

00:21:46 ◼   ► different kinds of apples if you make it

00:21:48 ◼   ► with one kind of apple if you just go to

00:21:50 ◼   ► the store and you buy a bag of apples

00:21:52 ◼   ► you're doing it wrong don't do that by

00:21:55 ◼   ► lots of different apples and have more

00:21:57 ◼   ► green apples than any other variety yeah

00:22:00 ◼   ► slightly more because they they hold up

00:22:02 ◼   ► really well in a pie so yeah my mom's

00:22:05 ◼   ► and my brown Betty apple pie

00:22:08 ◼   ► it's great crumble top or full top or

00:22:11 ◼   ► lattice top that's it to me that is a

00:22:15 ◼   ► different pie is like they are but I

00:22:17 ◼   ► like

00:22:17 ◼   ► all tops of an apple pie that's fair

00:22:20 ◼   ► okay I'll give you that because it can

00:22:22 ◼   ► it can hold all of those different tops

00:22:24 ◼   ► it's okay

00:22:25 ◼   ► and your pie is also excellent because

00:22:26 ◼   ► you you find a way to have the apples

00:22:29 ◼   ► not be too watery like that's often one

00:22:31 ◼   ► of the I think the biggest challenge

00:22:32 ◼   ► when people make apple pies besides

00:22:33 ◼   ► under doing the crust in the middle

00:22:34 ◼   ► which is kind of related is if you have

00:22:36 ◼   ► just if the inside just full of water

00:22:37 ◼   ► yeah I reduce a little bit of the excess

00:22:40 ◼   ► apple liquid if I end up letting them if

00:22:42 ◼   ► I let them sweat for too long so those

00:22:44 ◼   ► of you bakers out there if you are while

00:22:47 ◼   ► you're preparing the crust if the apples

00:22:49 ◼   ► are sitting in the cinnamon and sugar

00:22:50 ◼   ► mixture too long or depending on the

00:22:54 ◼   ► temperature outside or in your kitchen

00:22:55 ◼   ► you the apples will sweat more or less

00:22:58 ◼   ► so if I have a particular day where I'm

00:23:00 ◼   ► making a pie and the apples sweat a lot

00:23:02 ◼   ► and leave behind a lot of liquid I don't

00:23:05 ◼   ► just pour all of that into the pie I

00:23:06 ◼   ► reduce some of it on the stove and kind

00:23:08 ◼   ► of make a little like caramel syrup and

00:23:11 ◼   ► then put that back in the pie but you

00:23:12 ◼   ► don't want to do that too much because

00:23:14 ◼   ► then you'll get a dry pie so it's very

00:23:16 ◼   ► tricky back yeah it's very much a you

00:23:19 ◼   ► have to see the day late on the day what

00:23:22 ◼   ► what it looks like it took you a couple

00:23:23 ◼   ► years to get it right but I think the

00:23:25 ◼   ► last year's I didn't have I brought one

00:23:26 ◼   ► of those I brought a dry pie once when I

00:23:28 ◼   ► just did it too much I know that was not

00:23:30 ◼   ► good yeah the last couple years you've

00:23:32 ◼   ► been pretty pretty silent thanks all

00:23:34 ◼   ► right my number three it's boring but

00:23:36 ◼   ► it's good it is the lemon meringue pie

00:23:38 ◼   ► yeah I actually I had a little bit of a

00:23:41 ◼   ► hesitation when putting this here

00:23:43 ◼   ► whether I wasn't sure whether I wanted

00:23:45 ◼   ► lemon meringue or lemon tart a lemon

00:23:49 ◼   ► tart despite being named tart is clearly

00:23:51 ◼   ► a pie and you know and a lemon meringue

00:23:53 ◼   ► is very good but I have not had a lot of

00:23:57 ◼   ► good meringues I've made a couple that

00:24:00 ◼   ► were great but the actual like having

00:24:03 ◼   ► someone else's pie or having out at a

00:24:05 ◼   ► restaurant oftentimes the meringue part

00:24:07 ◼   ► of lemon meringue pie is just like this

00:24:09 ◼   ► really cheap flimsy foamy stuff that

00:24:11 ◼   ► just falls off and it's it's kind of

00:24:13 ◼   ► taste like plastic like well sometimes

00:24:14 ◼   ► they over meringue it like it they over

00:24:16 ◼   ► whip it and it gets too funny it just

00:24:18 ◼   ► breaks down a little bit and gets

00:24:20 ◼   ► crystallized a little bit yeah it's too

00:24:23 ◼   ► dry sometimes so I didn't have any lemon

00:24:25 ◼   ► on mine cuz I don't know I don't really

00:24:26 ◼   ► like a lemon curd flavor yeah a bit too

00:24:29 ◼   ► strong I really do like I well it's

00:24:31 ◼   ► lemon curd but the the the kind of

00:24:33 ◼   ► filling that's usually the base of a

00:24:34 ◼   ► lemon meringue pie that's usually not

00:24:36 ◼   ► very you know bitter or egg yolky at all

00:24:39 ◼   ► it's pretty it's pretty sugar yeah I

00:24:41 ◼   ► definitely based my picks on consistency

00:24:44 ◼   ► mmm based on where you can get it so

00:24:47 ◼   ► right if I you know for a peach

00:24:50 ◼   ► raspberry I don't really think you could

00:24:52 ◼   ► screw that up most of the time it's just

00:24:55 ◼   ► peach and raspberry and I like those

00:24:56 ◼   ► flavors just as is apple pie I almost

00:24:59 ◼   ► like all apple pies there aren't really

00:25:01 ◼   ► in any apple pie that I would eat and be

00:25:03 ◼   ► like whoo this is terrible who says that

00:25:05 ◼   ► that's fair and the same goes for my

00:25:07 ◼   ► other two picks all right what was your

00:25:09 ◼   ► number three well did you want to finish

00:25:11 ◼   ► talking about your lemon pie oh I mean

00:25:13 ◼   ► yeah just remembering I'm a big fan of

00:25:15 ◼   ► citrus flavors in desserts I really

00:25:18 ◼   ► enjoy them and it's just a really great

00:25:21 ◼   ► pie you know it's it's basically lemon

00:25:22 ◼   ► custard in a crust

00:25:25 ◼   ► the crust is often a little bit bland

00:25:28 ◼   ► because it's usually not a graham

00:25:30 ◼   ► cracker crust ring like that so I that's

00:25:31 ◼   ► one of the reasons didn't ring a little

00:25:32 ◼   ► bit higher for me but and it's hard to

00:25:36 ◼   ► find one that's made well but when it is

00:25:37 ◼   ► made well I love love meringue pie and

00:25:41 ◼   ► honorable mention for this lot

00:25:43 ◼   ► lemon lemon tarts which are basically

00:25:45 ◼   ► just the bottom half of a meringue okay

00:25:47 ◼   ► well tarts are I would definitely

00:25:49 ◼   ► classify tarts as pies they're just

00:25:51 ◼   ► skinny pies yeah yeah exactly

00:25:53 ◼   ► tarts it's a skinny cousin of pies all

00:25:55 ◼   ► right what is your number two

00:25:57 ◼   ► so you can pop by we already Popeye you

00:26:02 ◼   ► have anything any more say in the matter

00:26:04 ◼   ► no love me a pop pie my favorite Popeye

00:26:06 ◼   ► ever is Tania's potpie yeah it's really

00:26:10 ◼   ► good my best friend down the block shout

00:26:11 ◼   ► out to Tania

00:26:12 ◼   ► sometimes she listens I love your Popeye

00:26:15 ◼   ► please make it very soon it has a lot of

00:27:03 ◼   ► alright my number two related to the

00:27:07 ◼   ► lemon meringue category but better in

00:27:08 ◼   ► every way the key lime pie hey you know

00:27:12 ◼   ► the key like key lime you know for me it

00:27:14 ◼   ► doesn't even have to be actually

00:27:15 ◼   ► actually made from key limes key limes

00:27:18 ◼   ► are pretty hard to find

00:27:19 ◼   ► bottled key lime juice is easier but but

00:27:21 ◼   ► it's still not that easy to find so

00:27:23 ◼   ► pretty much any kind of lime custard pie

00:27:25 ◼   ► that now labeled key lime pie this is

00:27:27 ◼   ► where you are wrong no because key lime

00:27:29 ◼   ► pie is my number one okay so you're

00:27:32 ◼   ► gonna you're gonna defend the priority

00:27:33 ◼   ► we're gonna talk about key lying lahiri

00:27:35 ◼   ► laws yeah key lime juice is very

00:27:38 ◼   ► different than lime juice it tastes

00:27:41 ◼   ► different and it looks different if you

00:27:43 ◼   ► make key if you make pie out of lime

00:27:46 ◼   ► it's gonna taste very different than if

00:27:48 ◼   ► you make pie out of key lime now you

00:27:51 ◼   ► don't need for the flecks of lime bits

00:27:56 ◼   ► that go into the pie yeah the zest does

00:27:59 ◼   ► not need to be genuine key limes exam

00:28:01 ◼   ► very hard to find yeah I've only done it

00:28:04 ◼   ► for you like twice once for your key

00:28:06 ◼   ► lime birthday party and I think once

00:28:09 ◼   ► another time that we happen to find key

00:28:11 ◼   ► limes but the juice is important it does

00:28:15 ◼   ► not it cannot be substituted so you are

00:28:19 ◼   ► making lime pie or you were making key

00:28:22 ◼   ► lime pie okay well and there's a bunch

00:28:24 ◼   ► of different variations minor variations

00:28:27 ◼   ► really on how to make it I think one of

00:28:28 ◼   ► the bigger questions is whether it's

00:28:30 ◼   ► cooked or not and then how much it's

00:28:31 ◼   ► cooked these are all I made my number

00:28:34 ◼   ► one because it doesn't matter all key

00:28:36 ◼   ► lime pie is good the frozen lime pie

00:28:38 ◼   ► yeah yep yes

00:28:42 ◼   ► martha stewart's key lime pie super good

00:28:44 ◼   ► there is also I made and in kind of like

00:28:48 ◼   ► an icebox key lime pie with sweetened

00:28:50 ◼   ► condensed milk and like a whipped cream

00:28:53 ◼   ► kind of emulation yeah an assembly pie

00:28:55 ◼   ► and that was very good key lime pie bars

00:28:58 ◼   ► very good there's so many ways to make

00:29:00 ◼   ► key lime pie did you basically have like

00:29:03 ◼   ► graham quadrats key lime custard on top

00:29:05 ◼   ► of a graham cracker crust everything

00:29:07 ◼   ► else is optional some people put a

00:29:08 ◼   ► little bit whipped cream on top

00:29:09 ◼   ► I like a little bit of that to help no

00:29:11 ◼   ► rang on there key lime pie I think

00:29:12 ◼   ► that's wrong I agree and I like lemon

00:29:15 ◼   ► meringue pie

00:29:16 ◼   ► however again I will still eat more

00:29:17 ◼   ► because I like healing pie yeah I will

00:29:21 ◼   ► still I would still eat it too but yeah

00:29:23 ◼   ► meringue has no place on a key lime pie

00:29:25 ◼   ► anyway my number two is key lime pie

00:29:28 ◼   ► made pretty much any way but it has to

00:29:32 ◼   ► have a graham cracker crust it has to be

00:29:34 ◼   ► I guess since you're telling me all this

00:29:35 ◼   ► it has to be made with key lime juice

00:29:37 ◼   ► and ideally with a small dollop of fresh

00:29:40 ◼   ► whipped cream on top

00:29:41 ◼   ► wonderful absolutely love it the colder

00:29:44 ◼   ► the better in the fridge is great and

00:29:45 ◼   ► the freezer is great absolutely love it

00:29:47 ◼   ► yeah I always try to make you key lime

00:29:48 ◼   ► pie for your birthday in July which is

00:29:51 ◼   ► horrible

00:29:53 ◼   ► every time I serve it it just giant blob

00:29:58 ◼   ► of Key Lime just is that everywhere it's

00:30:00 ◼   ► horrible exactly I try I try so hard

00:30:02 ◼   ► all right so number one so your number

00:30:05 ◼   ► one is Key Lime you said key limes that

00:30:07 ◼   ► we're done with your list right yeah no

00:30:10 ◼   ► I just I really love Key Lime Pie you

00:30:14 ◼   ► are the one that introduced me to loving

00:30:16 ◼   ► Key Lime Pie I think before before you I

00:30:19 ◼   ► don't know maybe like six years ago I

00:30:22 ◼   ► would have been like what are you crazy

00:30:24 ◼   ► I don't like that at all I'm

00:30:25 ◼   ► occasionally right but it turns out it's

00:30:28 ◼   ► really good and every time that I've

00:30:30 ◼   ► like had a spoonful of yours when you've

00:30:32 ◼   ► gone for dessert I've loved it and

00:30:34 ◼   ► wished I had it for my dessert and

00:30:36 ◼   ► usually will end up eating half of yours

00:30:38 ◼   ► anyway that's how it works cuz you know

00:30:40 ◼   ► you love me like that mm-hmm that's okay

00:30:42 ◼   ► with you

00:30:42 ◼   ► so yeah it's okie lime Key Lime Pie I

00:30:46 ◼   ► just I've never come across one that I

00:30:50 ◼   ► didn't like so it has to be number one

00:30:52 ◼   ► fair enough

00:30:54 ◼   ► all right my number one is something

00:30:57 ◼   ► that I would be a lot less willing to

00:31:00 ◼   ► share with you that much the New York

00:31:03 ◼   ► style fruit tart oh now I figure about

00:31:07 ◼   ► fruit tarts right and that does count

00:31:09 ◼   ► yes I you figure like if key lime pies

00:31:12 ◼   ► can

00:31:12 ◼   ► yep or and of lemon tarts can't like if

00:31:15 ◼   ► there are so many other things that are

00:31:16 ◼   ► various types of tarts that are in pie

00:31:19 ◼   ► crust that I have a custard filling that

00:31:21 ◼   ► are topped with something sweet that's

00:31:23 ◼   ► what a fruit tart is mm-hmm

00:31:24 ◼   ► and so by all accounts a fruit tart

00:31:26 ◼   ► counts as a pie if all those other

00:31:28 ◼   ► things do and then clearly do especially

00:31:29 ◼   ► like key lime pie is named pie and is

00:31:32 ◼   ► like nobody would ever say key lime pie

00:31:34 ◼   ► is not a pie and if a key lime pie is a

00:31:36 ◼   ► pie then definitely fruit tarts or pies

00:31:37 ◼   ► that's true yeah all right yeah fruit

00:31:39 ◼   ► tarts are pies mm-hmm when I was looking

00:31:41 ◼   ► at lists of pies and everything I

00:31:43 ◼   ► actually didn't for this was one of the

00:31:45 ◼   ► very last things added to my list

00:31:46 ◼   ► because I also was not thinking of it

00:31:48 ◼   ► and I thought well you know I wonder how

00:31:50 ◼   ► many tarts count as pies and I started

00:31:52 ◼   ► looking a list of tarts and that came up

00:31:53 ◼   ► and like oh my god of course that's of

00:31:55 ◼   ► course that's number one yes so I've

00:31:58 ◼   ► seen a lot of different interpretations

00:31:59 ◼   ► of what a fruit tart is so forgive me

00:32:01 ◼   ► listeners I'm going to tell you just in

00:32:03 ◼   ► case you don't know it for those of you

00:32:04 ◼   ► who do know I'm sorry so a fruit tart is

00:32:07 ◼   ► a sweet pastry crust in the crust is a

00:32:11 ◼   ► usually vanilla flavored custard on top

00:32:15 ◼   ► of the custard is fresh pieces of fruit

00:32:18 ◼   ► usually strawberries blueberries and

00:32:19 ◼   ► raspberries or some combination there

00:32:22 ◼   ► may be just two of those sometimes

00:32:23 ◼   ► Keeley yeah sometimes Kiwi or like maybe

00:32:26 ◼   ► a little a little like peach wedge might

00:32:27 ◼   ► be on there sometimes it depends on when

00:32:28 ◼   ► you get it and where but almost always

00:32:30 ◼   ► they're they're mostly berries

00:32:32 ◼   ► blueberries and strawberries and

00:32:33 ◼   ► raspberries seem to be like the main

00:32:35 ◼   ► ones and then on top of the fresh fruit

00:32:39 ◼   ► is a thick glaze made of honey apricot

00:32:43 ◼   ► jam and sugar that is to me the the best

00:32:48 ◼   ► dessert like if I have to just pick like

00:32:50 ◼   ► a one dessert like an half at the end of

00:32:52 ◼   ► a meal like give me like an espresso and

00:32:54 ◼   ► a fruit tart oh my god that's the best

00:32:56 ◼   ► like just I love fruit tarts the only

00:32:58 ◼   ► major downside of fruit tarts is that to

00:33:01 ◼   ► make them really well takes a lot of

00:33:03 ◼   ► work as you know TIFF when you make them

00:33:05 ◼   ► Cornish it takes a lot of work cuz like

00:33:08 ◼   ► you can you can skip a lot of the steps

00:33:10 ◼   ► on pretty much every part of it you can

00:33:12 ◼   ► make uh you can get like premade crust

00:33:14 ◼   ► you can make a really crappy crust you

00:33:15 ◼   ► can get I did and I tried to jello

00:33:18 ◼   ► filling or pudding filling instead of

00:33:19 ◼   ► instead of like making a whole custard

00:33:21 ◼   ► after making it the hard way I tried

00:33:23 ◼   ► making it an easy way and they

00:33:26 ◼   ► not as good yeah and they're still good

00:33:28 ◼   ► but mamatha difference between good and

00:33:31 ◼   ► great for fruit tarts and the great ones

00:33:34 ◼   ► do take way more effort because you do

00:33:36 ◼   ► have to make the custard from scratch

00:33:37 ◼   ► when you're like and you're like

00:33:38 ◼   ► scratching out the vanilla bean

00:33:40 ◼   ► and and like pushing the custard through

00:33:43 ◼   ► the through the sieve thing it kind of

00:33:47 ◼   ► does feel pretty awesome going through

00:33:49 ◼   ► all the steps like you kind of like a

00:33:51 ◼   ► mad scientist yeah and making the glaze

00:33:54 ◼   ► is not easy usually I make the glaze for

00:33:57 ◼   ► us and I've it is surprisingly difficult

00:34:00 ◼   ► to get that apricot glaze to be the

00:34:02 ◼   ► correct consistency and flavor the

00:34:05 ◼   ► spoiler you have to strain it and

00:34:07 ◼   ► secondly you you have to use a lot of

00:34:09 ◼   ► simple syrup in it as well not like only

00:34:11 ◼   ► use a little bit of apricot jelly and

00:34:13 ◼   ► most of it is simple syrup and maybe

00:34:15 ◼   ► honey if you go that way but anyway when

00:34:18 ◼   ► fruit tarts are made well they are

00:34:20 ◼   ► wonderful things I first got addicted to

00:34:24 ◼   ► them when we were coming home through

00:34:25 ◼   ► Ghent through Grand Central every day

00:34:27 ◼   ► there's a couple of little markets like

00:34:30 ◼   ► in the like kind of off to the side and

00:34:31 ◼   ► then in the main area of Grand Central

00:34:33 ◼   ► that you can basically get a fruit tart

00:34:35 ◼   ► every day like as you go home on the

00:34:37 ◼   ► train every day and boy it's that it's

00:34:39 ◼   ► dangerous and glorious and and when you

00:34:41 ◼   ► make them your easy ones we're not as

00:34:44 ◼   ► good as those but your hard ones are

00:34:47 ◼   ► even better than those they better be my

00:34:49 ◼   ► god I did all the work

00:34:50 ◼   ► so yeah look I love of good fruit tart

00:34:53 ◼   ► it is definitely my number one as soon

00:34:55 ◼   ► as I realized that it should be included

00:34:57 ◼   ► in a category of pies it was a

00:34:59 ◼   ► no-brainer that's why you were so

00:35:02 ◼   ► excited about doing pies I was yeah

00:35:04 ◼   ► I totally got I thought you'd be really

00:35:07 ◼   ► mad about the cheesecake and the chicken

00:35:09 ◼   ► pot pie being included I'm very angry at

00:35:11 ◼   ► the Cheesecake yeah it's cake it's cake

00:35:18 ◼   ► pot pies is pie I don't it's not

00:35:21 ◼   ► marketing it's right there it's totally

00:35:24 ◼   ► pie anyway it literally says cake if it

00:35:28 ◼   ► were like he should have said nothing

00:35:29 ◼   ► that would be up for debate but it

00:35:31 ◼   ► literally says cake the other one says

00:35:34 ◼   ► pie I don't know what the problem is
