Is this Key Lime pie?! Mine would be 100% pie I have eaten.
It’s either keylime or lemon - my wife makes the most awesome key lime pie - and I agree sunshine - if this was taken at my house - it would just be of an empty pie tin.
Would you eat the crust or just scrape the lemon filling off the top?
I was always a crust eater except for the thick edge crust that didn’t have filling.
Sometimes even the side crust I wouldn’t eat cause that part of the filling had crust under it. Which to me was the right CTFR (crust to filling ratio) in my mouth. The side crust in addition to the bottom crust on the last few bites was too high of a CTFR and that overpowered the filling. And the edge crust was just utterly unacceptable because it bore no filling on it at all and hadn’t absorbed any moisture from the filling. ack…
My sisters are scrapers. I never really understood that. Forked down into the filling until they reached the crust and then with a horizontal swipe removed filling sans crust.
They’d always tell me if I liked the crust so much that I could have theirs, but that didn’t seem appealing.
Occassionally when mom would make pie with a graham cracker crust instead of the doughy crust, they’d have no choice but to take it crust and all. Graham cracker crust doesn’t have the consistency to stay together and it would break off mid-scrape.
Mmmmmm, pie!
There’s no meat in that pie, Owen, so you just keep your fork away from it.
Ok, now I’m hungry for lemon meringue pie!

Good one apc!

Looks delicious…It’s making me starving reading this site!
Hahaha I work at a major chain restauraunt (the largest casual dining restauraunt) and have also worked for most of the other top 10 (think restaurants named after fruit+bugs and days of the week), and haha the lemons are the least you need to worry about. If you go out to eat at a busy restaurant on a friday night, trust me - all health code rules go out the door. I have been in the business almost 20 years and most of the places I have worked would make you never want to eat out again if you saw the kitchen. Cooks who never wash their hands or change the one pair of gloves they wear all day, grabbing raw chicken then putting that same gloved hand into the bin of french fries. Garbage all over the floor and counters, just a total disgusting mess in general. Now when you go out to eat at 3pm on a wednesday afternoon your odds of a clean meal are a little better, but when the pressures on, the business is boomin - the managers are so worried about trying to get the food out quickly that for the most part sanitation is non existant. Next time you think you have the ‘flu” think to yourself, “did I eat out last night?”. Good chance its mild food poisoning if you did!Regards, Richardson
