The story we have recently read aloud from notaddicted.com and many of the things said (after the story was written) seem to have brought about much talk about Pecan Pie. It would seem many here do not consider the pie to be a proper treat because the pie contains nuts.

We want those people to think of it a different way.

Pecan pie is named pecan pie and that is not fortunate. This pie does contain the pecan nut but that is truly a small part of the pie. The pie is REALLY a sweet thick custard that needs no cream. The most crazy thing is one could make a pecan pie and replace the pecan nuts with something else. We have done it ourselves and it is DELICIOUS. Truly the heeart of the pecan pie is not the nut, it is the sweet middle.

Imagine making yourself this recipe for a change:

For crust
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons (about) ice water

For filling
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups chopped NILLA WAFERS

Make crust:
Mix first 3 ingredients in processor. Add shortening and butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in enough water to form moist clumps. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour.

Roll dough on floured work surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch round cake pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Trim to align with pan edges. Freeze 15 minutes.

Make filling:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Mix in 3/4 cup NILLA WAFERS. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup NILLA WAFERS. Bake pie until set, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool.


You have noticed that the word PECAN is missing for the word NILLA WAFERS. There is even very little call for pecan in the first place. We feel it could be called filling pie rather than pecan pie.

Do we call a dish of fried chicken the name 'Fried Salt'? No, we do not, but is there not salt in fried chicken? There is. It is unfair to call that dish Fried Salt as it is to call Pecan Pie by its accepted name.

Never allow a chance for a snack to please you to pass you by.

Thank you for reading this. We are sorry if we have made anyone angry but to see a snack hurt for its name only is a very difficult thing to do.
 
NO.

the pecan is not the point of my dislike. it's the gooey muck the pecans have becomed mired within.

Pie, in general, has never been a favorite snack of mine. I love apples. LOVE em. green ones, red ones, yellow ones from lands such as Washington. i love them all, until they become heated. my favorite part of apple enjoyment comes from the cool refreshing *snap* of biting into one. an apple cooked loses 87% of it's appeal.

the same stands with carrots. i can eat carrot sticks till the cows come home. dip them in dressing, eat them naked. diced, sliced in rounds, or cut julienne.

yum!

cooked carrots? the slider dips below 10. carrot cake? this injustice would not go unpunished in my home.

i can eat pecans all day long with a smile on my face. peanuts? walnuts? almonds? pecans? these are all wonderful inventions. it makes me proud that mankind was able to contrive these legumes for my culinary consuptions! go team venture!

HOWEVER!

when sugar coated in a dense base of sticky goo, i cannot help but feel that these 'nuts' have become ensconced in a sticky trap of sorts, and that i am (in fact) consuming a metaphorical Roach Motel of Nuts (tm).

Nuts should be made free to run, jump, and swim! they should not be glued to a crumbly crust. they should not be slathered in sticky sauce and cooked to a golden brown. if any golden brown cooking is to take place, let it be for the sake of cookies, and not some.... Pie.

cakes and cookies are the like hugs and kisses of love and joy for most foods (carrots being the exception, as stated above). you will rarely find someone presenting you with an apple cake or cherry cake. the thought alone makes me shudder inside. peanuts, almonds, cashews, and macademia; these all have places in the cake and cookie tier of the food pyramid. to think that someone defiled these foods by placing them in a ... Pie... just makes me feel ashamed for the human race. we are doomed to kill each other, and end the world with our wars. however, i believe i may know the reason.

the mere utterance that you made above, whereupon you would rescue the pecans from their sticky situation, ONLY TO REPLACE THEM WITH (delicious nilla wafer) COOKIES IN THEIR ABSENCE... you, sir, have gone too far.

there exists in the universe a beautiful thing. the ratio of a circle's circumfrence to its diameter. speak not its name aloud, for the average citizen will think only of roadside diners and dessert.

stand strong.

don't let the man get you down.

the children of today are not past saving. give them their cake, i say.

Let Them Eat Cake.

From the above I deduce that Isobelle is the world's first sentient bunny rabbit (with a serious case of rabies) who can also type....I mean apples and carrots??? Come ON! :ralph:

I'm down with your cake comments though. Cookies - only if they are the soft squidgy types with chocolate and nuts in them.

Fruit & veg are for old people and herbivores.
 
We are from a background which does not begrudge any snack without good reason. Though me may often ask for our cakes to be sweet and such, there is often times no rival to the crisp hard snap of a fresh vegetable crudite which fills us with delight.

A carrot that is fresh to be dipped makes us ask for another. A carrot that has been cooked makes us scowl and throw.

A cake that has been made FROM a carrot makes us dream with wonder and eat with a new thrill. That is us.

Isobelle, this may be you:

If such books as this may be bought in Japan, several of us suggest that you read one in due haste.
 
i'm intrigued by this glow... i have eaten many kinds of raw foods in japan... they have raw chicken on rice... a type of sushi that would result in whiplash in america from someone trying to sue the restaurant so quickly their neck snaps back.

raw eggs cracked over raw beef in a bowl with (raw) green onions sprinkled on top...

many types of food, to be sure, but the glow has eluded me thus far.

:(
 
Isobelle that is why we have urgently suggested you read such a book. To those who eat of the raw diet there is no meat to be eaten. For them to eat in search of protein they attack nuts and even make milk from said nuts.

They cannot even eat dishes of tofu because tofu must be boiled to be made in the first place.

It is mistakes such as this which have likely cost you the glow.

How can you not like "warm apple pie"? :yea:

Yeh! What he said!

If you read Isobelle's reasoning for not liking soft or cooked apples it's because there is no *snap* as you bite into them.

As an affirmed apple-ette, he knows damn well that there are only a few varieties of apple that are crunchy. Most of them are mushy which is the reason I hate them!:pumped:
 
RAW BEEF, WITH A RAW EGG POURED ON TOP OF RAW GREEN ONIONS.

/shudder

(but it goes nice with a beer? fun fact: in japan, to order a beer you just say 'NAMA', which is the word for 'draft beer', and also the word for 'raw')

That beer kinda looks like ginger ale, which btw is one of the best soft drinks in the world if made right. :cm:
 
To make this man happy! Why else do you think the dude has such a huge smile on his face? Certainly not because of any raw food :doh:


all i'm saying...

look at his face.

look at her face.

look where she's looking.

where the hell is her hand?

why is she making "ooooooooh!" noises with her nouth?

We have researched what is being said. We believe that people have become confused. As far as we know the glow is not something randy in the touching sort of way.

It seems to us she is looking at the food which is raw and will help give her the glow. Perhaps it is because he is already with the glow that he looks like one with a soft brain.

None of us eat only raw so we can only imagine what this glow is like.

Yes look at his face. Isn't it weird? I certainly wouldn't have that expression if I was getting jerked off by a complete babe in a restaurant! I would either be doing my best porn expression or glowing bright pink with embarrasment...depending on how much I'd had to drink and how good she was with her hands. I think he's been stuffed a la Taxidermy-style.
 
It's cos she's just unzipping his flies at this point. He's got the excited-but-not-up look. His friends across the table have totally just said "Yeah, dude. Wish I was fucking your chick. Hehe." and he's all like "Yeah...ye..ye...ahh". Fact.

Y'know, you're right...his expression is so totally a "don't you wish you were me" look.

Smarmy fuck.
 
Please, we do not know why all have become fixated with only one explanation, and that is that the events in the picture are randy.

I know we look at these people and we get confused, but unless ANY of us eats only raw and HAS THE GLOW we can never understand these people. We will never eat only raw and we know we will never have the glow, but perhaps having the glow makes every face in that picture easily explained. If we are to wish to be him it is only for the glow he has got.

We do agree this man looks like he is one with a soft brain, but we hardly think such a randy explanation as everyones can be right.

Also we wanted to ask of Isobelle if such a candy as below is near you in Japan. Back in Argentina we used to get such a candy all the time and it was so good that several of us declared VERY FEW sweets to be a rival! We knew even back then that this incredible treat came from Japan.

so, when I eat raw food, I get 'TEH glow'... and then some random SUPER hot chick will give me a handjob in a restaurant?
Bring in the container of raw foods then!!!!! :ohyeah:

Again with the randy talk. We are not sure why such talk nis so fascinating.

If you are serious about getting the glow we would suggest buying the book with the picture of the people who have the glow. We are not sure all who have the glow are as beautiful as these two. We cannot explain these pictures in such a case:

You should begin to think about buying these other books for the glow:
