The only unethical thing is asking pumpkin pie to cover up. If you can' enjoy it without every inch of it hidden behind whipped cream then you don't really like pumpkin pie, you just like whipped cream. Shame.

Pumpkin Pie..Is it Ethical?
- Thread starter Kemosloby
- Start date
My family maintains that you can NEVER have too many desserts at Thanksgiving...well, at any meal where the family gathers...
I'm not sure that's quite enough...
There is a lot of ethics involved in having a truly moral pumpkin pie, first rule is sharing and there has to be enough for everyone. If someone eats more of the pie and doesn't let someone have some what they are really telling he person is not to be thankful cause they would eat your slice of the pie in real life, ah but alas some people don't even have pie ethics!

Pumpkin pie is ethical...but this is just wrong
I am not so sure. Store bought pie with a gross crust. A proper crust is often better than the filling itself. That is a solution, not an ideal one, but one can still taste the pumpkin goodness there.
For my birthday my brother and his family got a pumpkin cheese cake. Luckily it was not a pie so it was permissible for me to enjoy it the way that I did.

Nope, its wrong...wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong...and it should be illegal to cut a pie that way..... and that is my unreasonably absurd preposterous opinion and I'm sticking to it...

The only defense is that that atrocity is hardly a "pie". Now if it was a pie that my mother made that would be a crime worthy of the death penalty.
Its better'n Alcatraz.

I cannot argue that...never had the pie of which you speak...... but I stand by my unreasonably absurd irrationally preposterous opinion..... and Happy Thanksgiving
Its a cute prank, especially if you get to eat it.

The same to you. I need to start prepping some food tonight. I need to chop vegetables for stuffing and dressing. I know that a turkey supposedly cooks better with unstuffed, but you can't have stuffing unless you stuff the bird. I will be making both traditional stuffing with the vegetables sauteed in butter first most of which will be stuffed into the bird, and also some vegan dressing. My brother and his family and friends are Seventh Day Adventists. Some are almost vegans. They can have the dressing, vegetables sauteed in margarine with no dairy products and using vegetable broth rather than chicken broth. That dressing will not get near my turkey? I cook a Thanksgiving turkey mainly for the stuffing and the gravy. The meat is okay too, but I love a properly made gravy much more than I love the meat. And stuffing ... just give me a plate of stuffing, well maybe some of the turkey. And just a touch of mashed potatoes, ooh ooh, is that wild rice over there .....
No wonder I go into a coma.
How do you make crust that is better than the filling??

If I knew how I would be doing it myself. I have a suspicion that magic is involved. When my Mom made pies the rollups, extra dough with cinnamon and sugar, would disappear before the pie did sometimes.
Depends entirely on the bakery, i suppose i am lucky or perhaps I'm in hell and don't know it.
Never had a Marie Callender pie, again perhaps my luck is continuing,. If they are anything like 'fray bentos' pies in a tin then i have to agree with you.

I agree the best pies are homemade, but if you don't have the time, - the Marie Callender's Dutch Apple Pie with brown sugar crumble - is actually pretty good.

To be honest they are a bit better than that. And though I have had some passable bakery pies I have never had one that came close to either my mother's or my sister's.
I would say the same until i moved to france. Of the 5 bakers withing shopping distance, 4 have trained under michellin star chefs and can beat anything i could dream of making.

Well that's cheating! I am a bit jealous. My sister has been to Europe more than once and I have heard amazing things about some of the shops one can find there.
