Pumpkin Pie..Is it Ethical?

[Enoch07]

If you love pumpkin pie, but DO NOT like chiffon pumpkin pie, you like regular pumpkin pie, But you were forced to have chiffon pumpkin pie or no pie, while at a relatives for Thanksgiving. Which is most ethical to do; to eat the pie, smile and say thank you. Not eat the pie and complain since they would not let you bring regular pumpkin pie. Or Is there a more ethical approach altogether?

Sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie


Enough said!

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.

Sounds delicious..... All I have to do is make cranberry sauce and later eat what others made....

And he's missing out on hot pumpkin bread, and moist pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting.

Oh crap!! Thanks for reminding me. That is a chore of mine too. That is one of the most complex recipes out there. Cup of water, cup of sugar, boil, throw in a packet of fresh cranberries cook for ten minutes or so and cool. Backbreaking!

Yes, I know, that is why it is my job

I am required to open the can and slice the cranberry sauce with a butter knife. They won't even give me a cranberry sauce knife!

The more ethical approach would be to excuse yourself from dinner, jump into your time machine and travel to the past or future (doesn't matter which), develop a taste for chiffon, and then time travel back to the dinner and enjoy the meal.

Or maybe a home lobotomy kit.

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.

The boulangeries (french bakers) are something special.

French bakers, suspect #1 as the inventors of chiffon pumpkin pie.

Could be right, but I've never seen anything mucking about with the original work of the gods. Maybe it's those Parisians.

Edit. Just looked at a couple of recipes, it doesn't look french, some of the ingredients look distinctly American
