Errrrrr???? I thought all Americans were brought up on cherry pie?
Yes, it's good, umm, I mean no, you won't like it, send all of your cherry pies to me.

I'm more of an apple pie girl, myself.

With Breyer's vanilla on top.

I grew up in a military family and lived in Italy for a long time...not much exposure to cherry pie.

Isn't there a century near you called the Ride for Pie? You could ride for cherrie pie. It's great, but not with the canned stuff, real cherries.

That, my friend, would be a darn good reason to do that ride!

Queen, can you speak Italian? where in Italy were you?

Raleighdon makes the best EVER cherry pie. he gets pie cherries from a local farm... sometimes he mixes them with blue berries or small chunks of peaches. OH MY GOODNESS, did you know i didnt even LIKE pie until I ran into Raleighdon!??!?
and i won't eat it unless it's his.. (or my son's... just to be nice you understand)

I was in Aviano (in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region by Pordenone, north of Venice) from 1969 to 1973. I used to speak Italian fluently but it has faded to where I can only understand a little.

I consider Italy to be where "I grew up" since I was there for the formative part of my youth (ages 9-13).

Ah yes! The Janesville Morning Rotary Pie Ride I did that once, and I did get a cherry pie for finishing within the time limit. It's a very pretty ride route too. It ends at a swimming beach on a little lake, but I didn't know that and hadn't brought a swim suit. Was a nice day for it, though. Mid-June as I recall. Too late for this year, but here's the link that was: http://www.janesvillemorningrotary.o..._pie_ride.html

what ?!?!? Have you perhaps inhaled it instead?

Cherry pies can be done as mostly goo in between Hostess crud... or tart & tasty homemade

Might just see what I can whip up for a housewarming present

Nope, never had one. My mom didn't really bake so other than the occasional chocolate chip cookie or brownies...nada.

Fried pie is what you make when the peaches on the tree are getting over-ripe and it's too hot to light the oven.

Make a little dough, sugar up the peaches, slap them in the dough, pinch it shut and fry it up. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/byauthor/215602

Karen, thank-you for the recipe. It's been years since I deep-fried anything, but fried pie sounds so yummy. Does anyone remember the fried pies Mickey D's used to have? I miss those. I bet these home-made ones will be even better.<sitting in a puddle of my own drool>

Oh, man, those were so good! They were one of the highlights of road trips when I was a kid. That's when we got to eat at McDonald's. Yum!

Knot, miss seeing you on the forum. I hope you are doing well.

If you want an excellent fried pie, go by a Popeye's Chicken. It's hot, fried, very tasty and has cinnamon sugar sprinkled all over it. Mmmmmmm.
