Derby-Pie: Meh?

[Robin Garr]

I hate to pick on a local tradition, but I had my first slice of Derby-Pie® in many years today, and found it less than satisfying. It was like eating a spoonful of sugar, just as sweet and not all that much more flavor interest.

What's your opinion? Meh also, or am I being too tough on it?

I'm not a "pie" guy but I enjoy a wee sliver of Derby Pie once or twice a year...but that's about it. Much prefer the Bourbon Barrel pie...when I find myself in a pie kinda mood.

I really dislike it warm- but I will munch on a small ice cold piece now and again- every five years or so.

Meh ! Too Sweet

I prefer just plain pecan pie over Derby pie. The chocolate bits just push it over the diabetic coma edge for me.

Mine's better

Robin,

I'm with Carla. I never really cared for the chocolate chip addition as much as really good pecan pie- with bourbon in it, of course.

but Derby Pie (R) is made with walnuts . . . and no bourbon.

And mine's better too.

Well there you go! (I still like pecan pie better.)

LOL- hence why I prefer pecan pie with bourbon.

I only go for the "derby pie" influenced ice cream at Comfy Cow. Give that one a whirl.. oh yes.

In general I've found fake derby pie to be better than real derby pie.

One bite can tide me over for a year. Too rich for my blood.

You won't go for it any more. Tim tells me that Kern's Kitchen threatened to sue their waffle cone off if they didn't stop it.

I thought they still are selling it yet under a different name... damn. If not, that's disappointing. That was the best ice cream I have ever had.
