Who likes...

Lemon merangue, key lime, but my all-time favorite is sugar cream...any other Midwesterners out there know about the creamy wonder that is sugar cream pie? :thumbsup2

OMG!!! I totally forgot about sugar cream pie until you mentioned it! A bakery about 100 miles from here makes the best in the world.....I wonder if I can get there and back before the school bus gets here:confused3
 
Well this can't be found at Disney but, here in in Virginia we have a place called The Virginia Diner in Wakefield, Va about 45 minutes from Richmond.

Last month I finally went there and tried there famous 'Peanut Pie' It was out of this world awesome!

As a matter of fact Guy Fiettie (sp?) from Food Networks, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives was just there to do a segment for his show about a month before I was there, later that week, I saw the episode on TV (how cool)

Now while we are talking deserts, last weekend I went to the 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' restaurant we have in Fredericksburg after having a great burger (of course what else would I order at a place named Cheeseburger in Paradise) I was lloking at the desert menu and saw something I have never heard of before but knew in an instant that I had to try it. It was called 'Pina` Colada Cake' now I LOVE coconut and pineapple so I just knew this desert stood a real good chance of being a heavenly experience, and boy was it!!

This has to be my ALL TIME favorite desert cake. It was out of this world and I had a scoop of Vanilla ice cream to go with it! YUMMIE, I will make this trip many times to get this desert.

Here is an iPhone photo of it ( not the best quality, sorry) but just look at those strips of pineapple goodness & coconut sprinkes:)
...

Your first visit to the Virginia Diner was just last month? :faint: Shame, shame! ;)

We used to stop each year on the way to & from Nags Head. Now, I stop every time I go to my parent's now that they're in Edenton. I'm not a fan of the peanut pie, but the salted peanuts, butter toasted peanuts, and country ham biscuits are to die for!!
 
My first visit to the Virginia Diner was two years ago, which was still a long time coming because we used to pass it every year on the way to Nags Head as well. So in 2006 I decided that on our way to Edenton for the candel light tour in Dec, we would stop and eat.

The first time I have had peanut pie at the Virginia Diner was last month:)

Ok I wanna know - what is it?!?!
 
Sugar Cream is hard to describe -- no eggs, so it' s not a custard, although it kind of looks like a custard when it browns on top -- really just cream, sugar, butter, vanilla, nutmeg, flour to thicken. Just sweet, creamy and delicious. It's also sometimes called Hoosier Pie or Amish Sugar Cream Pie.

It's an Indiana specialty, right up there with giant breaded tenderloins.....
 
Three words: Apple Caramel Pie. Also for those of you who love pumpkin pie, I once had a pumpkin milkshake at the Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom...it was the milkshake of the day...pretty good too!
 
I'm on a pie hunt tomorrow, going to a "Rosies Diner" tomorrow in search of some good pie....I'll let you all know....
 
Diner-made Pies - Choose from:
Apple, Cherry, Blueberry, Banana Cream, Chocolate Cream, Coconut Cream, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream, Peanut Butter Cream, Lemon Meringue.
 
Because it's a dreary day here, I'd go with the lemon meringue as I'm desperate for anything that makes me think of summer!

Kind of like a butter tart...eggs, butter, corn syrup, vanilla...mmmmm!
 
Love Love Love homemade Apple/Cherry Pie with French Vanilla Ice cream!! Yummeee!
Also Key Lime Pie and Pumpkin Pie! The only time I make pies are at holidays. My DH does not really care for pumpkin so I tend not to make it because I am the only one eating it!!

But my absolute favorite dessert is Bread Pudding with Rum or Whiskey Sauce--that would be my last meal!
 
No one mentioned Shoo Fly Pie, a specialty of the Amish in PA!
I have not had it since 8th grade-- many moons ago!
Anybody like that??

As Kevin on the Office says "I Like Pie" Lemon Icebox is one of my favorites and Coconut MMMMMMMMMM I Like Pie
 
I am personally in love with Pumpkin Pie. But than there's Pumpkin Cheesecake which is equally as good.

But I love pie with ice cream. It's like they were a match made in heaven.
