Happy bird Day! I have a question about Pumpkin and pecan pie. I was telling my wife that people had to be crazy to have pecan pie over pumpkin pie(her relatives) She said that pumpkin pie is a Northern thing, being her parents are from the south, she says that most people there would rather have pecan pie. I say No way. I told her I would put it to a vote on my truck forum lol. It's got to be pumpkin. To me, Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is like having a glass of ice water without the glass

 

I like both the same,but I will take my mom's home cooked pecan pie ANY day over ANY other kind. But pumpkin would have to be a close second. I live in Illinois,so guess that may be why I like both.

 

I'm from NJ, my wife is from SC. I like pumpkin pie, she does not. She goes for the pecan.

We had an early thanksgiving lunch at the assisted-living home my mother lives at. They offered both pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert. You could pretty much tell by the dessert choice where the folks came from.

 

I prefer pecan pie (that's "pe-khan" not "pe-Khon"), but I think pumpkin is probably more recognizeable as a Thanksgiving Day tradition.

 

i was born, raised, and spent almost all of my life in joisey, except for living in North Carolina for 4 years.

and i will take pecan over pumpkin any day if only offered one choice. and if there is a choice between sweet potato or pumpkin, it is sweet potato over pumpkin
but when it comes to the dessert table on turkey day, my plate has equal size slices of pecan, sweet potato, french apple, and pineapple upside down cake on it, with 2 or 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream covering it all.

 

I didn't get overweight by turning down any kind of pie.

Put it in front of me, and I make it gone. Pecan, pumpkin.... Gone........

 

we are not overweight Charlie, we are not tall enough

 

Ahhhhh. Glad you cleared that up!!!

 

Considering that I was born in Tennessee, I am truly Southern, even though I now live in "Merlun".

Pie??? Pie??? Yes, please!

Pecan pie kicks Pumpkin Pie all over the floor, however, I won't push Pumpkin Pie aside.


I will, however, turn my nose to all of it, for a BIG slice of APPLE PIE or ShooFly Pie!!!!



Wow!!!! My mouth's watering at the thought of apple pie!!!!

 

There are only two types of pie I like.

Hot, and cold.

Our turkey day tradition is to have apple, pumpkin and Derby (a chocolate pie with pecans and bourbon in it!) pies. My family has always made a sweet, light, whipped-cream type of pumpkin pie. Dang it, now I'm hungry. And there's no pie in sight.

I'm not from The South, but I'd jump over a 5' stack of Pumpkin pies to get at a Pecan pie.

 

I really like both, but I found the ultimate compromise: Pumpkin pie with pecan praline ice cream, smothered in real whipped cream.

 

You all down south (up North) have all the good stuff.

NASCAR

Moonshine

Pecan pie

and

Southern belles

Then again Iʻm probably actually physically more south than you.

 

Pass me another slice of Pizza - all the rest is overkill

And you know what? A good ol' brew would slide down just fine with it...


"SWEETS"...

I expect I still have most of my teeth because I avoid that





You fergot DIRT TRACK & BRACKET RACING - shame on ya!

Tell ya what - send me a redheaded Jersey Girl, and I'll forgive you!

 

From MN and would pick pecan pie but hope to be having both on Thursday.
