Pecan Pie

“I just Bogart'd a piece of Pecan Pie from the serving table by the conference room. I had to use some of my best Ninja Stealth as to not be seen. Man I love Pecan pie... it's my FAVORITE!”

“I just hope you remember this incident when you're going through your 12-step program...”

“Nothing better than pecan pie.”

“LOL
Ninja Stealth


I bet Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was your fav TV show too. ;-)”

“BLECH.

Do you guys say "PEE-can" or "pi-CAHN"? If you can tell what I mean, LOL.”

“I say "pi-CAHN" which gets me branded as a damn Yankee down here. Sometimes I say "pi-CAN" which usually keeps me from getting my ass kicked in the parking lot.”

I can think of a few; strawberry rhubarb or blackberry comes to mind. Is there any desert better than pie? I don't think so.”

“I can never tell if southerners are supposed to say it one way and northerners another, or what. Every time I think I have it figured out, I hear someone say it the opposite of how I thought they would. I say "pi-CAHN," and I grew up in VA.”

“I haven't had a good strawberry rhubarb pie in a long time.

I use to have a kick ass pecan pie receipe but I lost :(

“I never really thought about peh-cahn pie, nor where peh-cahns came from. Until I visited my friend In Greenville SC over an xmas weekend.

I got the biggest kick out of picking up peh-cahns from under their tree in the front yard. all with this little peh-cahn picker-upper contraption. LOL!

I think that was the best pie I ever had.”

“Just let the peeps that live where the trees grow be your guide on how to say it.”

“

LOL!”

“Given the way I've heard Yankees make fun of the "PEE-can" pronunciation, I always figured that they must all say it "pi-CAHN".

Virginia is sort of like that buffer between two types of fuels in a gas pipeline. Everything is all mixed up together, and when they take it out at the pipehead, they have to send it back to the refinery.”

“Well there's no way I'm saying PEE-can, no matter how anyone else says it, LOL. I just thought there might be some regional pattern of pronunciation that I could figure out.

I'd like to make a cherry pie with tart red cherries, but last year I never found any to buy. Maybe this year! Also I've never made strawberry-rhubarb, that's on my list too.”

“Just don't like it too much, if you know what I mean.


”

“LOL! You're a nut. My grandma says it the way I do, and aside from that, she sounds like the southernest person EVER. Born in TN.”

“I would like to offer my services as a taste tester lyra.”

“My mom used to make a rhubarb pie that was to die for.

A few years ago I asked her for the recipe. She didn't know what I was talking about.”

“Well that's very generous of you, lumberzac! Although I have to warn you, generally when I make something for the first time, a dog wouldn't eat it. LMAO! However I've made lots of pies in general, so I think it will be alright.”

It's always been pronounced PEE-can in my family. As far as I know my family has lived in the Northeast as far back as 5 or 6 generations.”

“Pecan pie is very easy to make.”

“Maybe it's an urban/rural thing then?”

“Maybe it was store bought bit.”

“My parents lost most of their 'pa kawn' trees in the hurricane.”

“Nah, I remember watching her make it. She's always had trouble remembering back more than a few years. (unless it was traumatic, apparently...)”

“is not so bad either.”

“Southern without the drawl is more akin to proper brit speak, no? So I would think it might be peh-cahn?”

“The recipe is on the back of the Karo syrup bottle.

Karo
eggs
brown sugar
pecans

Once you know what is in it they don't taste as good.”

“

YUM! Pieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

“bacpac, you have to use white and dark Karo syrup, plus dark brown sugar, white sugar and approx 6 whole eggs.”

“LMFAO! Brain need more brain.

I swear that was a TT Burp!

Don't look now, BM, but this thread is about Pecan Pie.
You might reconsider the moron namecalling. LOL”

“Don't know what you're talking about. :D



Thanks ewker!”

“Suuuuuure.....”

“strawberry rhubarb is to die for. My woman makes me blueberry cheesecake among other things. I am gaining weight fast. Lyra when the Door county cherries are ripe I can send you some,don't know why they are famous but they taste good”

“Cool, that's nice of you, spalpeen!”

“Hey lyra, I offered you my cherry and you turned me down!”

“What the heck is rhubarb?
Never had it, is it something like a beet?
I hate beets.”

“Oh god!! :-D

A rhubarb is long and tall like a piece of celery and green/red. It's actually a veggie, not a fruit...and tart, so it tastes good with super-sweet strawberries.”

“Not even close. http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/

You gotta get yourself some strawberry rhubarb pie Stovie. Best stuff ever.

“Eat the stalks - the leaves are deadly.

“rhubarbRhubarb is a perennial plant that grows from thick short rhizomes, comprising the genus Rheum. The large, somewhat triangular leaf blades are elevated on long, fleshy petioles. The flowers are small, greenish-white, and borne in large compound leafy inflorescences.

The plant is indigenous to Asia, and many suggest that it was often used by the Mongolians; particularly, the Tatars tribes of the Gobi. Varieties of rhubarb have a long history as medicinal plants in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the use of rhubarb as food is a relatively recent innovation, first recorded in 17th century England, after affordable sugar became available to common people. Rhubarb is now grown in many areas, primarily for its fleshy petioles, commonly known as rhubarb sticks. In temperate climate rhubarb is one of the first food plants to be ready for harvest, usually in April/May. The petioles can be cooked in a variety of ways. Stewed, they yield a tart sauce that can be eaten with sugar or used as filling for pies, tarts, and crumbles. This common use led to the German slang term for rhubarb, piestengel or "pie plant." Rhubarb is also used to make wine. In former days, a common and affordable sweet for children in Yorkshire was a tender stick of rhubarb, dipped in copious amounts of sugar. In the UK the first rhubarb of the year is grown by candlelight in dark sheds dotted around the famous ‘Rhubarb Triangle’ of Wakefield, Leeds and Pontefract.

“Tart like lemon tart?

I love lemon icebox pie!”

“Lemons only think they're tart. Rhubarb is tart.”

LOL. That's perfect!

I thought rhubarb was a big Southern Thang?”

“Rhubarb doesn't grow down here.
Too hot.
I don't even think I've seen any fresh in local stores, other than canned goods.”

“I had a girlfriend who made a tuna salad that was 'to die for" but we were able to get to the hospital before we died.....”

“I've seen raw rhubarb in grocery stores here, but I'm a lot further north than SS is.

Rhubarb leaves are quite deadly, btw, which is why they have always been removed when you buy raw rhubarb in the store.”

“My mom used frozen rhubarb, btw.”
