If it was up to my grandfather, pecan pie would win. If it was up to anyone who enjoys a good dessert, literally anything other than pecan pie would win.

Yeah, if the average age of Chiefsplanet is under 65 I think I'm going to win this bet.

Other than my 91 year old grandfather, I don't know one person in my family or any of my friends that like pecan pie. I really hope that it goes away with my grandpa's generation so that I never have to see them at holiday dinners again.

I was at the store last year at some point, and they had a two-for-one sale on Marie Callender pies. Now, I loves me some lemon meringue pie, so I snapped one of those up. But then I thought, 'oh, my wife is going to think I'm being selfish if I buy two lemon meringue pies', because she's not that crazy about lemon meringue. So I employed a rule that generally works great for me. I looked at the pies and picked the one that I would least like to have, because my wife's tastes in dessert tend to be exactly the opposite of mine. She always orders weird stuff like flan and english trifle and creme brulee and bread pudding when we're at restaurants, so it made perfect sense to buy a pecan pie for her. I even had vague memories of her really liking pecan pie on the few occasions that that it's been served to her. So I brought home a lemon pie and proudly presented her a pecan pie. As it turns out, neither of us likes pecan pie, and the only reason she said she likes it is because her 75 year-old parents give it to us and she's just trying to be nice to them. So I was in the doghouse for not knowing she didn't like pecan pie, and a year later that thing is still in my freezer. So the basic truths about pecan pie are there: old people like it, people who are not old don't like it, and even people who have fundamentally opposite tastes in dessert will agree that they don't like it.

? I assume you know that the tiramisu includes espresso...which would explain the coffee flavor. Good tip -- Whole Foods (if they have them wherever you may be) has an excellent tiramisu for a store-bought.

I guess that would explain it. Any time I have it I want to like it, and then I taste that bitter stuff in it and think, 'what the heck is wrong with this?'.

I'm hoping banana foster is on your list somewhere here? That's a recent discovery for me, because I didn't used to think that bananas were a great idea for a dessert ingredient (and no, I've never had a banana split either, but that's likely to change soon also).

It seems like it should be good. I just wish they'd replace the espresso with more chocolate. They're both beans. Bananas Foster is indeed in the tourney. Like you, I don't really view banana as a dessert thing, but if it's the main theme like the grilled bananas with homemade caramel sauce I made a while back, it works. You've never had a banana split?

Whoa. Turtle cheesecake just rallied into a tie with coconut cream pie. What an epic comeback.

It's pretty good. It's more or less ice cream that's encased in a ball of meringue. It's heated in an oven just long enough to brown the meringue but not melt the ice cream. Basically, it's ice cream meringue pie without the crust, and round.

There's no state penalty for possession of up to 1 oz of marijuana in your own home in Alaska.
