What are your favorite foods and/or drinks?

[Dio]

My favorite dessert has to be pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie.

The only thing missing from that pie is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cream horns - unnature's most perfect food.  We're about to go out and score some cream horns now...

You could always write to the smiley artist and ask if she'd make one: www.millan.net

ice cream on PUMPKIN pie?

Have you not had vanilla ice cream on top of Pumpkin pie? I think it is absolutely delicious. That is not even the oddest combination of foods I have eaten or seen eaten.

[Unorthodox]

It's not especially odd, no, I mean they make pumpkin ice cream.  Just, I've only ever heard of pumpkin pie being served at room temp, and never done a pie ala mode unless it was served warm.  Kinda seems silly unless you get the ice cream melting.

While on the Pie topic, I make a mean Apple pie.  Made it up meself.  Not sure how widely available the apples I use are, though.

Well, if the pies are mean, you must make them out of crabapples, right?

This conversation just went beyond my paygrade.

Why?

[Rusty Edge]

Maybe he doesn't have crabapples in his country.

What you often find in my area year round is a lot of tropical fruits like Mangos, papayas, pineapples etc. During the correct seasons, in my area you will find blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, apples of many different types (except for crab apples), apricots, grapes, plums, peaches, oranges, grapefruits, nectarines, and nuts like pecans and almonds. Unfortunately, the tropical fruits are often imported from places like Mexico or Chile. Otherwise most of the other fruits are grown locally. There are even spots near where I live that you can pick some types of fruits right off the trees.

I have made some delicious cherry pies in the past. Hot cherry pie is delicious .

People around here grow strawberries, raspberries, some kinds of plums (we had 2 plum trees in the back yard of the house I used to own; they were small, yellow, and tart), saskatoons, crabapples, cherries (we had a small cherry tree that was more like a bush; the dog would eat the fruit right off the tree - swallow it whole, basically)...

I was making a play on words before... the pie was mean because the apples were crabby (crabapples).

Crabapples are quite tart until the first frost. Then they sweeten up and are wonderful! But pick them before they fall and ferment... wouldn't want to spoil the fun for the animals (drunk squirrels, drunk moose).

According to Geo's profile, it would be Belgium.
