I like it. It may have to happen.

Turkey, Tourtiere, Pumpkin Pie

Pretty much the only time of year I'll make any of those 3. Maybe Tourtiere for Christmas.

What do you fill your Tourtiere with, beaver and muskrat? Maybe opossum?

[stevieray]

Turkey
Ambrosia Salad
Sweet taters

[Calcountry]

Turkey, Momma’s home made Rolls, and mashed potatoes.

You are set up for turkey sliders as well.

[tooge]

Turkey, brined and smoked
Ham, honey/brown sugar glazed
Mushroom business (like a mushroom bread pudding sort of)

[Bob Dole]

Brown sugar glazed ham, cheesy mashed taters, eggs gone to the debbil.

It's just me and that's what I have in the kitchen right now.

I still prefer other pies but I can eat that pie pumpkin pie she made. She has passed and I don't know the exact recipe so no more of that.

Another pie I don't like is mincemeat pie an Aunt would always make one or two for the huge family get together at TG. I tried it once and never again. The WWII generation and older cleaned it up though.

My great aunt used to can her own mincemeat. I used to watch my dad eat that shit out of a jar, let alone in a pie. I've never tried it. I just...can't.

I've never heard of Tourtiere, but it looks like it's a meat filled pie? Do you have a good recipe to try? Looks like something I would like

I am borderline addicted to Natchitoches meat pies, which isn't a "pie" in the traditional sense. Do not like mincemeat pie. Do not like rhubarb pie running around masquerading as a delicious fruit pie with those juicy red lips and shit.

Now I have to go look up old Weebl and Bob episodes. Thanks for that.

You don't like rhubarb pie? WTF?

It may have to do with the texture as much as the taste, to be honest. Kind of like eating fried okra and you get that stringy one and you're just done.

Okay you have to stop. Even with the woody pieces, fried okra is just untouchable.

I live in Texas and get called "Yankee" way to often, even though I grew up in the center of Bushwhacker Country. Geography/history lectures get tiresome.

At some point, you just go along with the available sides if they are breaded and fried.
