Mine is a chicken pot pie with a buttermilk crust.

Chicken Pot Pie

2 carrots peeled and cooked

Scoop the mixture into individual pie pans. Use the following recipe to make the crust. Roll out the dough thin and place on top then brush with butter. Bake in a 375 F oven for 15 to 25 minutes or until it is heated thru and the crust is golden brown.

Finally, someone who knows what pies are.

I'll have a nice Aussie breakfast pie with the flavour of mushroom, bacon and gooey eggs oozing out followed by a nice big piece of Banoffee pie.

[mrtoad]

It's almost a pie but not quite, but it has to be a Cornish Pasty for me.

And Rhubarb Pie for desert.

No, not kidney. They taste like weewee. A gorgeous tender beef and mushroom with a suet crust. Heaven.

[Neeranam]

Scotch pie

[JR Texas]

Scotch pie

JR Texas: Oh........you Brits........I saw this and was going to tell you about my favorite pie......chocolate cream pie. Scotch pie? Is that a pie shell filled with scotch? No need to answer......going back to my side of the pond.

[suegha]

Pies can be both sweet and savoury!

One of my favs is made with a good pastry, a base in the pie of cous-cous and above that filled with chicken and veg with a creamy filling - filling can be made with cream, chicken stock and herbs (add your favourite) all topped with the good pastry. Yummy!

You need to sear the chicken in a pan with onion and garlic, finely chopped.

So easy and so tasty.

Buckwheat, a million thanks. I went to buy a box of Bisquick today (Mall, Korat) and they had none. I was shocked, they used to have it just a couple weeks ago. I snagged the recipe you posted for Bisquick to meet my emergency needs.

[bendix]

Steak and kidney pudding. Yum yum yum.

[donna]

beef and burgundy pie for main.

that peach pie sounded good for dessert, but apple and rubarb is also good. with ice cream, of course.

[pattyboy]

Personally, I've never tasted weewee, so I'll have to take your word on that one. (Sorry -- please don't get upset. I think we all know what you meant -- I just couldn't leave that line alone without making a joke.)

But seriously, as far as fruit/sweet pies are concerned, I love rhubarb, and pumpkin is pretty high up on my list, as well. Which brings me to a question, has anybody ever tried to make pumpkin pie using the pumpkins found here in Thailand? They are quite different from the orange "jack-o-lantern" variety found in other parts of the world.

While I have never actually made pumpkin pie with the local pumpkin, I'm dead certain it will work if you are able to puree the cooked pumpkin well enough. I have had dessert pumpkin soup that had a flavor very close to that of pumpkin pie; it just needed a bit of cinnamon and cloves to be there. Squash and sweet potato are both substitutes for pumpkin that make decent pies. Squash is a bit less sweet, sweet potato is a bit more sweet. So it will work if you get the texture right. Make sure it's as thick as the canned pumpkin so the pie will set as it cooks.

And do remember that pumpkin pie is basically a custard pie and needs to be kept refrigerated!!!!

Rhubarb & raspberry crumble (with custard).

Yep. I made pumpkin pies from the Thai pumpkins, but so much work! You need a machete to chop them and then digging out the seeds and peeling. Boiling forever (actually, if you mike them it saves alot of time). Sweet potato pie is tastier and way easier. We have a thread here on making them.

Refrigerated? Never did, but then they never lasted long enough to need refrigeration at my house.

[LaReina]

Not the fuzz you spray from a can,

Howdy,

Ever try a slice of key lime pie I bet them Thai limes would work the same.

Better than lemon pie I think.

*j*

[Khutan]

Steak and Mushroom please.

For "afters" a nice Apple Pie would be nice.

[canadiangirl]

hot apple pie with old cheddar baked into the crust, and vanilla ice cream on top! YUM!

[sceadugenga]

Found an enamel pie tin in Big C the other day.

Make a minced beef stew with lots of onion and a little carrot. Thicken and pour into tin.

Slice several potatoes paper thin, layer onto the beef.

Dob a little butter on top, bake until top layers of potato fluff up and turn crisp.

So easy.
