The pumpkin pie thread: Pumpkin pie is ONLY good cold. I'm sorry.

**Atomini** · 10-07-2012, 09:37 AM

So it's the Canadian thanksgiving tonight and tomorrow, and as such it is also pumpkin season. I would say pumpkin pie is my favorite pie with 2nd favorite being cherry pie, so i've been trying out different ones the last couple of days since there are tons of different brands all over the supermarket now.

I've always ever had the pie cold, and it's delicious. Even when I was there when someone freshly baked it, I wouldn't eat it warmed. I'd wait until it was completely cool. I bought a pie the other day that on it said "even better heated, try it!" and so I thought to myself i've never had pumpkin pie warmed. I threw a slice into the micro for about 15 seconds and.... well, I wouldn't say it's gross or disgusting, or that I wouldn't eat it. But I would definitely say I won't have it warmed ever again. Something about the temperature that affects the taste in a more negative manner than most other foods and pies. I think it could be because pumpkin pie uses a lot more spices and cloves in it than other pies. It just seems the best cold, or at most room temperature, for some reason!

I am currently trying to make my own home-made pumpkin pie! Just another reason to put that Blendtec blender of mine to more use lol. I am going to just make the batter/filling and just use those pre-made pie crusts, and throw everything into the oven. This way I can control sugar content and all that jazz.

Apple pie warmed? Awesome. With some whipped cream on top!

Cherry pie warmed? Awesome.

Blueberry pie warmed? Awesome.

Pumpkin pie warmed? Not so awesome in my opinion. Who else feels the same?

I prefer mine cold as well with vanilla ice cream.

**Atomini** · 10-07-2012, 09:42 AM

Hm, never tried it with ice cream... interesting. Usually ice cream goes well with warmed desserts.

**MickeyKnox** · 10-07-2012, 09:49 AM

totally agree Atomini, cold all the way!

had pumpkin pie last night cold with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt on top.

**krugerr** · 10-07-2012, 09:49 AM

I love pie nice and hot, with either cream or ice cream.
Pumpkin isn't really that popular in the UK. My favourite pie is apple&blueberry, cherry comes a real close second. Actually, spiced cinnamon apple pie is good too!!

I wish the pies in the UK looked as good as the American ones I see on 'Man v Food'

**Lunk1** · 10-07-2012, 09:56 AM

Our local Dairy Queen makes Punpkin Pie Blizzards with real pie chips in it and whiped cream on top....so fkn good!!!!

Apple and blueberry... interesting mix. I never heard of that before, it sounds good.

Incorrect, sir. Ice cream goes well with all deserts at any temperature.

Apple and blueberry is fantastic. It's quite sweet, I tend to make my own, it does involve a lot of sugar though.

**austinite** · 10-07-2012, 10:08 AM

Hmmm. I've never been served warm pumpkin pie. Maybe it's a Texas thing. Cold all the way.

**bigZthedestroyer** · 10-07-2012, 11:39 AM

Yeah cold and topped with whip!! Also it's gotta be the whole pie! I don't know why anyone would just want a slice..

**lstbred** · 10-07-2012, 11:40 AM

I cant do 98% of pies, just cant.

How come?

I've never understood this. My brother is the same way. He has never EVER eaten pie in his life. He stays away from all of it, i've never seen him eat it except maybe attempt to try it once or something when he was a child.

**lstbred** · 10-07-2012, 12:23 PM

I dont really know, I like pecan pie, chocolate cream and hair pie but thats about it. I'm definetly a sweets guy too, I dont know of a cake, cookie or ice cream I didnt like.

**--->>405<<---** · 10-07-2012, 12:37 PM

apple crumb pie!

key lime pie!

has anyone ever had sweet potato pie? pretty good!

**SEOINAGE** · 10-07-2012, 12:40 PM

cold with ice cream or better fresh homemade whip cream with minimal sugar so it doesn't get overly sweet.

edit: I'll mention my favorite pies, Lemon meringue, but it is best homemade or of high quality if purchased. Also like the cold strawberry pie that has a light glaze and whole strawberries, although that's a once in a while favorite. I do not like chocolate cream or banana cream. Most other fruit pies I like warm. but lemon meringue is by far my favorite, although a key lime pie is tasty.

**Ernst** · 10-07-2012, 03:50 PM

Who eats it hot? I thought it was always served cold, room temp at warmest. Pumpkin is by far my favorite, with lots of whipped cream!

**MuscleInk** · 10-07-2012, 04:16 PM

This thread is making me beyond hungry!!!!!!

Damn you Lunk for making me crave ice cream now!!!!!!

BTW.....family tradition back home (Canada) at Thanksgiving: warm apple pie with a melted slice of cheese on top. Not my thing though. I always went for pumpkin pie!

**Atomini** · 10-07-2012, 04:26 PM

CHEESE??? On top of apple pie?? That sounds so weird. Might as well try it lol.

**songdog** · 10-07-2012, 05:03 PM

I like mine cold with whipped cream

**JohnnyVegas** · 10-07-2012, 05:08 PM

I am having apple pie tonight (after Brazilian steakhouse). Birthday tradition...although today is not actually my birthday.
