British Couple Reacts to 4 Pies Only In America

[@pokecasual6027]

Pumpkin spice got hugely popular for a reason.

[@jariemonah]

I think it's important to note (which Lawrence didn't mention) is that both pumpkin and sweet potatoes are both native to the Americas, so they've been part of the American culture before Europeans even made contact. So the fact that they just naturally grow here adds to the normalcy in our food.

The pumpkins used to make pie filling are different than pumpkins used for carving. They're generally smaller, the interior is thicker, and much sweeter.

I am from Pennsylvania (very near Amish country) and one of our most famous pies is the wet bottom Shoo-Fly Pie. It is a molasses based filling with a coffee cake like crust.

If you ever do try to make pumpkin pie don't use the Halloween pumpkins- you need a baking ( cooking) pumpkin. It's actually unusual to bake a pumpkin pie from a pumpkin because it requires a lot of prep before it can be used. Most people use canned pumpkin which is also easier to get. FYI- it's normal to use cinnamon in pumpkin pie but it's not essential. You can find recipes without it.

[@phylismaddox4880]

Also canned pumpkin is different from pumpkin pie mix but both come in cans.

[@teresavandal4973]

Forgive me but I disagree on the prep... you just need to buy a small one; cut it into segments and roast it for about an hour or so; then scoop the inner "meat" of the pumpkin out and go from there...

I think they are the same pumpkin it is just you need to get the smaller ones for the flavor and ease of cooking.

[@helgar791]

If sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie tastes the same to you, then the baker made the sweet potato pie wrongly. Typically people in the north and midwest use the same ingredients in both pies so that they taste the same. A big mistake. In southern baking, particularly in black American households, the ingredients are different and they are not even baked in the same kind of pans. Sweet potato pies are baked in rectangular baking pans, and they are made thicker and whipped fluffier than pumpkin pies. Sweet potato pies are generally sweetened with molasses, just brown sugar, or both, vanilla flavoring, a touch of lemon flavoring, and use far less of the spices used in pumpkin pies. Sweet potato pies do not use clove, and use far less nutmeg. Cinnamon usage is about the same, and occasionally (and only occasionally) a little rum is added. Always bake with unsalted butter. This will result in a pie of a different flavor, thickness, and consistency than pumpkin pie, which needs more spices just to add flavor. Sweet potato already has a flavor that just needs to be enhanced.

Key limes are sufficiently acidic that they can be used in some cold recipes, where the cooking is done via chemical reactions, rather than thermally.

Here in the States you can buy pumpkin in a can. It's found with the cherry pie filling, apple pie filling., with the rest of the cake mixes.

[@danaallen8465]

Here’s a quick recipe for you guys to try if the ingredients are available. I just thought about it whilst thinking of apple pie. INGREDIENTS 1 package of cream cheese {8 oz} *allow cream cheese to soften a bit by leaving out on counter ½ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of granulated white sugar 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract 1 package of Heath Bits ‘O Brickle Toffee Bits (or about 7 or 8 regular heath bars crumbled) apples INSTRUCTIONS Use mixer to combine cream cheese, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla. Do not overmix. Fold in the toffee bits ( or crumbled heath bars) Refrigerate for 1 hour. Slice the apples into desired size. To keep the apple slices from turning brown, dip into pineapple juice. Serve Granny Smith apples (green apples) and dip!

Here is a list of all the types of pies my family makes or has made for the holidays. Apple, peach, blueberry, cherry, pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, key lime, and lemon meringue. In the late summer months there have been made strawberry rhubarb pies, chocolate cream, coconut custard, as well as the key lime and lemon meringue pies. Some places even have mango pies. Those are very similar to the key lime pie. Another tradition my family has, is to have pie on March 14th. 3-14 national pie (PI) day. With the pumpkin or sweet potato pies, you can always use less cinnamon and add more ginger or clove. And some use all spice or nutmeg to season those pies. Have fun making the pies.

When baking, make sure you use the American measuring spoons and cups you were sent. It will make it a lot easier for you to get the correct amounts. Love your channel ❤

[@KeithEllis0]

Tablespoons, teaspoons, and cups especially. The dining (as in tableware or drinking) and food preparation quantities can be similar, but more precise is usually needed for cooking.

Pecan pie is amazing with a crispy crust... I've always pronounced it as "Pea-Can" pie. It's definitely very well accepted with all pronunciations

[@paganbornspiritbear8249]

I don’t like sweet potatoes either. But, sweet potato pie is absolutely amazing! Also, contrary to popular belief, pumpkin and sweet potato pies, DO NOT taste the same. I personally don’t care much for pumpkin pie. Although, yes, the seasonings are similar, pumpkin and sweet potatoes do not have a similar taste, nor the same texture. In my own opinion, pumpkin has a bit of a bitterness to it, that sweet potatoes don’t. In any case, both pies are worth a taste. EDITED TO ADD: I love the idea of y’all doing a cook off! I especially like the idea of one doing a popular British dish, with the other making the American equivalent. Perhaps, a British meat pie Vs. an American “Pot pie” (meat pie!)??

[@jcdbrw]

I don't like pumpkin pie, either. Love sweet potato pie.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

While I love pumpkin pie and many forms of sweet potato, but not sweet potato pie.

[@jcdbrw]

Different strokes for different folks, as they say!

[@TexasHomesteaders]

Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie have the same basic ingredients so it tastes the same to me too. While fresh pumpkins are available in the fall, we can buy canned pumpkin year around.

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

No matter how you pronounce it...PECAN pie is the absolute BEST pie...EVER!!

[@beegee1960]

Another pie that is seldom see these days is vinegar pie. Although it is really more a cobbler than a true pie. In the pioneer days, the settlers often did not have fruit to make a pie filling. But they usually had flour, sugar, shortening, and vinegar. Hungary for sweets, they found they could use vinegar in place of the fruit and using biscuit dough for the crust and lots of sugar, they could make a very good cobbler. It was a staple during the depression. My mother use to make it for us when I was a kid just because it was delicious. Tangy, and sweet with a sweet biscuit topping. Lots of sugar, butter and cinnamon.

[@jLutraveling]

You might try having hand pies. The pie dough is cut into a circle and the filling is put inside and the dough is folded over. That way it is a portable dessert that can be eaten with your hands.

[@johncoppola7447]

Marge giving advice to her daughter visiting England. “Remember Lisa. An elevator is a lift. A truck is a lorry. And Botulism is steak and kidney pie!!” Lol

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

Peach pie is delicious!! Cherry pie...yum!! Strawberry pie...awesome!! Key lime pie...scrumptious!! Blueberry pie...soooo good!! Lemon meringue pie...makes my mouth water just thinking about it!! I WANT PIE!!

[@Jacksonj1980]

Yeah I found their reaction to thought of peach pie a bit odd. Why does that though seem so strange. Especially up next to something like steak n kidney pie lol

[@jeffdetmer4681]

I am sure that the majority of people in the states use canned pumpkin to make their pumpkin pie. Sweet potato pie is not as dismal as it sounds. It can be quite good. It is also often baked with a layer of tiny marshmallows baked on top, much like the version of sweet potato casserole that many serve with dinner. We do make pies with pretty much every fruit out there too. Then a variety of either cream or custard pies as well. So good!

[@shelleytorok1406]

Sweet Potato pie is like pumpkin pie Pumpkin pie YUMMMMMM

[@jcdbrw]

Only better.

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

Congratulations on 100k btw 🥰

[@liamengram6326]

Key lime pie is my favorite pie by a longshot. Absolutely amazing. Refreshing, tart, sweet...just perfection. 🤌

[@danaallen8465]

In order from the best to the good: 1.) chocolate pie with vanilla wafer crust and whip cream on top. (The chocolate is like silk) 2.) Apple Pie A la mode- Warm Apple pie with cold vanilla ice cream 3.) Warm Cherry pie with cold vanilla ice cream 4.) Patty LaBelle’s sweet potato pie with whipped cream (only Patty LaBelle’s, trust me) this one’s store bought. 5.) pecan pie, of course! 6.) Lemon Meringue or Key Lime Pie 7.) I’m adding Banana Pudding, it’s not a pie or else it would be on top. My mom’s recipe is the best which has cream cheese, dream whip, cut up bananas, vanilla & banana pudding layered, the cookies are chessman (not vanilla wafers, chessman cookies are melt in your mouth cookies), all of the ingredients are layered with a nice topping of whipped cream and cookie crumbles. There’s also an Oreo dessert almost like banana pudding but, with Oreos instead.

[@patriciaanderson8556]

Both Sweet Potato and Pumpkin pie, are just custard pies. "Sweet Potato" is usually made with a Yam, especially if you think it looks like Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin pie is actually a squash today in all the cans. You need fully ripe fruit, if you are going to make it yourself, and always bake it, no matter who tells you to boil the flesh. They do have the actual pie contents in cans as well, which would give you the actual taste without the vagaries that show up from people's cooking. I would bet you can get some of your friends to help with the pie eating contest. It is usually done with more people than just two. It's too bad that you are so far away, there's no way an actual pie would make it.

[@GilaMonster971]

When I was a kid living in Mississippi I would collect pecans from neighbors yards, crack them...and my mom would make pies out of them. It’s still my favorite pie 53 years later. I have tried to grow pecan trees in Oregon, but can’t get them to survive.

[@michaelfontanelli2450]

All great pies begin with a “P” Pumpkin, Pecan, Peach and Pizza👌

[@arcterus01]

A large percentage of homemade pumpkin pie uses canned pumpkin pie mix. I love pumpkin pie myself but I don't think I've ever had one made from fresh pumpkin.

[@jamesspille6184]

Love 2 of those pies, Key Lime, my favorite, and Pecan, try pecan bourbon, delish. I have never been a fan of Pumpkin pie but I know a lot of people are. I don't know if it is mostly United States or not but Sugar Cream pie is also one of my faves.

[@bob_._.]

The nut is PEcan and the pie is peCAN. And like others have said, if you try a pumpkin pie (and you really should) see if you can get canned pumpkin puree through Amazon. Though there's probably at least a dozen cans on their way to you from all over the country even as we speak.😏

[@Heidilmao69]

Very interesting. I think videos like these really helps put things into perspective. There's the old saying "everything seems normal to you until someone else points out that it's not" and I think this is especially true for things like food or regional slang. For instance, I was surprised to see foreigners shocked at the idea of pumpkin pie because I always regarded it as normal. But then again, it goes both ways. For instance, I was equally shocked to learn that in England there is such a thing as a "fish pie". Cheers!

[@Barracudarighty]

Sweet potato & pumpkin pie-we make a custard with the sweet potato (which is really a yam) or pumpkin (which is often another winter squash)

[@reality1958]

Key lime pie is much different than pecan pie. Texture and taste. Key lime pie, a good one, has a wonderful blend of sweet and tart. You can keep the meringue however.

[@FH99]

I rarely have Key Lime Pie but it's very good. It's not easy to describe the taste. It's a little tart and sweet at the same time. Also, congratulations on 100K!

[@ANTieT]

I would love to see one of you make scones and the other make American biscuits, so you can see the difference (they are not the same) :)

[@KeithEllis0]

Much different, although they both are dense (scones moreso). Scones can be a little dry for me but I love them with other flavorings and I *like* that they're so dense because I find it more satiating.

[@jmfred2726]

Key lime or lemon meringue pie-- home made from scratch are both fantastic! In the south there are several versions of the "puh cawn" pie--from light and fluffy filling to dark creamy. Also there is crawfish pie for the savory side. Bon Appetit!

[@whitemountainasmr3150]

Key lime pie is my ABSOLUTE favorite pie here in America!

[@SGlitz]

Sweet Potato Pie is great. Sweet Potato Puree, cinnamon, and molasses or maple syrup are the primary ingredients.
