If we're talking fruit pies I'd probably be very generic and say a nice apple pie would be my favorite go-to.

Of course for regional pies, the most common pie I see around the state the most is a vegetable pie known as rhubarb. A nice rhubarb and wild berry pie can be enjoyably tart and sour with that delectable hint of sweetness that rounds out the sharpness of the ingredients.

      Dumping mashed potatoes on a can of beans and browning the top with a blowtorch like it's a flan: "Behold, a pie!"

      For some reason my partners family will bring like 5 sweet pies to a gathering of like 15 people and then the 6th pie is what they call “dessert pie” but it’s more like a giant quiche. Still yummy though.

    I live in the great pumpkin pie wasteland, and yeah, pumpkin pie is really good, but I have to agree with the last axolotl, key lime is my favorite.

    We also have rhubarb pies here and they're good but I've literally only ever seen it in strawberry rhubarb pie.

      Oh shit a good key limey piey is absolutely orgasmic when it's done just right. In fact one of my smaller goals in life is to make it down to the Florida keys and try an authentic key lime pie made with fresh fruit.

        An authentic fresh fruit one is really good but honestly I can devour a mediocre Midwest grocery store KLP just as quick

      My dad's favorite pie was always Strawberry Rhubarb and I've always hated it because he bakes them for himself and they are so fucking sour when he bakes them it peels the paint off the back of your throat.

    A really good pumpkin pie is my favorite. But most pumpkin pies are not great, and so I usually get rhubarb or a chocolate pie.

      My fellow Americans, I have to tell you—when it comes to pie, there’s only one that stands above the rest. It's huge, folks. It's the best. I’m talking about pumpkin pie. There’s no question about it. Everyone says it, everybody knows it—pumpkin pie is America’s pie.

      Now, let me tell you, this isn't just any pie. This pie is strong. It's made with the finest pumpkins—big, beautiful pumpkins. Nobody grows pumpkins like America. Nobody. It’s got that perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and a little bit of that buttery, flaky crust. Believe me, nobody makes pie like we do.

      And you know what? It’s a tradition. You’ve got Thanksgiving, you’ve got pumpkin pie. It’s what brings families together, folks. They come together at the table, they all love it. They can’t get enough of it. I’ve seen it—people love this pie. And they’re talking about it, they’re saying, "This is the best pie, no question."

      Now, some people might try to tell you other pies are better. They’ll say apple pie or cherry pie. But folks, no one loves pumpkin pie more than Americans. It's the pie of winners, and it's been winning for generations. It’s got that perfect taste, that comfort, that homegrown goodness.

      So, let's be clear. When it comes to pie, we don’t need to look anywhere else. Pumpkin pie is the best pie—hands down. No competition. Thank you, and let’s keep America pie-ing.
