Proper Pies

I like pie. Pie is very easy to eat and tasty. I like warm berry pies with vanilla ice cream on top. You have to eat them quickly, so the ice cream doesn’t melt. The sweet and tart flavors of berries are so good.

Some people argue about what goes into a pie. I prefer fruit or berries, but some people like chocolate cream pies or banana cream pies which are like pudding. Other people like pecan pies. They have nuts in them, but they are very sweet.

One of my favorite pies is rhubarb. I have never seen rhubarb in Japan. It has a very special flavor.

What do you think goes into a proper pie?

I Want to Eat Pie

Pies are very popular in America. We make pies with all sorts of ingredients: fruits, berries, vegetables, chocolate, etc. Also, we put toppings on pies: whipped cream, ice cream, shredded cheese, etc. Pie crust can also be made from different ingredients like dough or graham cracker crumbs.

Pies are not very popular in Japan. I love Japanese food very much, but sometimes I miss something from America. A berry pie with ice cream would be nice.

We use many kinds of berries in pies: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, marion berries, boysenberries, salmon berries, huckleberries, etc. Blackberry pie with vanilla ice cream is very good. If the pie is a little warm or hot, I really like it.
