Oh yeah, for sure. Pumpkin pies at both is the way to do it. We've only recently started varying Xmas meals from Turkey and the traditional sides. But Thanksgiving meals are so great there's nothing wrong with doing it twice.

@@saureco Please don't ruin the rhubarb with strawberries! It's supposed to be tart. It was always my favorite pie growing up. Plus apricot, huckleberry, gooseberry, Boston cream... Basically any kind of fruit, many types of vegetables, and many other things will find their way into pies.

Shoofly pie is a staple in the area of Pennsylvania and Ohio because it’s a very common Amish dessert. It’s called shoofly because Amish Farms typically don’t have air-conditioning so they keep the windows open most of the day. The Amish housewives would put the pies on the windowsill to cool. Because of the high sugar content these pies attract a lot of flies. They would assign one of the little kids to shoo the flies away from the pie while it was cooling.
Most Amish make the pie with molasses and a crumb topping. I tried many different ones and they were all a little different, from very gooey to on the drier side. You can find them all along the roadside at private residential produce stands throughout Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
I too am from the south (Tennessee). We had a large pecan tree in our backyard when I was growing up. Every other year, (when the tree produced pecans), my mom was a pie making machine. Besides us kids munching on pecans after school, the whole family gained several pounds each at harvest time. We would take bags of pecans and deliver them to our neighbors, and they reciprocated with apricots, figs, peaches, or lemons from their trees. Good times.
I live in Colorado. We had friends who lived in New Mexico. Tons of orchards down there. They would bring us pounds of them. We made everything with pecans. After several years of this I got pecaned out. lol I still love pecan pie though.
I’m from Carencro Louisiana. Our local cemetery has plenty of pecan trees. My cousin and I went through the cemetery to pick pecans filling buckets. Priest caught us and told us since this was church property then the pecans belonged to the church but he would let us have half the pecans. We gave one bucket of pecans to the church. Following Sunday there was a bake sale that included our pecans on cakes, cupcakes, pies, and even candied pecans.
As someone who grew up in Southeastern PA, seeing Shoofly pie brought a smile to my face. My family would go to Lancaster county at least once every year and we'd always bring back a Shoofly pie. Such a simple recipe but it's still one of my favorites. I am shocked that the restaurant can't source molasses in the UK but I'm glad to see that they made a version with what they had. For those who are wondering, the name comes from a brand of molasses that was from the Philadelphia area.

Apple Pie is a revelation warmed with vanilla ice cream! The melting ice cream & warm pie, and then cold frozen ice cream that hasn’t had a chance to melt yet. So good!!
Listen I agree with you but considering apple pie is quite sweet adding on the vanilla Icecream .. I’ve always wondered what dark chocolate 🍫 ice cream and apple pie would be like … I think I would be over the moon I love sweets but not too sweet! 😅
Same situation with other berry pies and cobblers. When warmed and mixed with something as polarizing as vanilla ice cream, it creates a whole nother element that oddly balances and rounds out the flavor.
So cool to see a Mississippi dude in the UK, sharing our American style pies! He obviously knows his pies very well, and they all look REALLY good! I grew up eating Frito pies, which they actually sold at all my Little League baseball games. I'd love to visit his shop!
"We do blackberry crumble, I guess this is the American equivalent" Boys, wait until you find out about U.S. fruit crisps and their many various regional versions. We have crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, buckles, and probably a bunch of others I'm less aware of! They're all fundamentally like a crumble, typically with different types of topping ranging from the same exact as a UK crumble to (US) biscuit dough on top.
Yes, I would add that the pies are a great way to preserve the fruit for the colder months and eat it when other supplies are running out. The high sugar content is a natural preservative.
The raisin pie... Each year my Grandmother would bake each grandchild their favorite pie for their birthday. Some how she got the idea that I liked raisin pie, for 45 years I forced down Raisin pie and smiled until she passed. Gosh I would love a raisin pie ❤
For everyone commenting about Frito pies called something else in other parts of the country: Fritos were invented in Texas and so was Frito pie. It was originally just a bag of Fritos, Wolf brand chili and some grated cheese. People started adding things like peppers, onions, etc., but it originally was a basic snack at football games, rodeos and such.
Wolf Chili to me is the best one out of all of the canned chili varieties we have. No, not nearly as good as homemade, but it beats the socks off of Hormel every day of the week.
My family, who is from Texas, called this a "pepper belly". Chili tipped with fritos, cheese and onions. I've always been confused by the name, though. 😂
Frito pie was something my mom made regularly. My mom, ever thrifty, washed and reused the disposable mini chicken pot pie tins. Getting a mini frito pie all to myself was heaven.
@@IceMetalPunk People make nachos with Fritos throughout the South and the Southwest. It's not nearly as common as using tortilla chips, but it's also not rare either.
At first I was worried when the video mentioned trying American pies in London. I thought, "These pies aren't going to be our real pies." But then the owner comes out with an American accent? He's from Mississippi? You're good!
I love that they got to try Frito Pies. Pure nostalgia. And you can visibly see their faces trying to stay awake by the time the pumpkin pie is out lol.
BAH!!! i don't do raisins either. I love that this is in London and the owner is American. No "faking" or "trying to copy" techniques/recipes. REAL DEAL YUMMINESS!!!!
Agreed! I'm an American who lived in the UK as a digital nomad. It was hilarious how many British restaurants would serve 'American-style' food that wasn't at all what most Americans eat. One such example would be 'American-style' pancakes or waffles served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, which isn't at all anything I've seen in my 50 years in the USA.
Southerner here. Other Southern pie favorites: lemon meringue, chocolate meringue, coconut cream, and banana cream. I live in Houston. We have citrus trees in our backyard. We make an orange pie (since lemon and lime pies are popular, why not orange?) with fresh squeezed orange juice instead of lemon juice. And my mom's pie is everyone's favorite: a bourbon, dark chocolate pecan pie with an extra layer of dark chocolate on the bottom. On March 14th, we have pie day at our house with a beef and Guinness pie (thank you for exposing us to that, Ireland) and a few sweet pies. Frito pie is a staple in most lunchrooms in American elementary schools. We love pie!!!
@@mountainaire7382 lemon meringue pie fav British pie to make as a child. Can't do Bananas but coconut cream sounds lovely . Orange and ginger pie is good beef and ale pies is great
Great to have an actual southern American making the pies to get the authentic experience. Unlike whatever list you guys looked up for that Halloween candy episode
Ok some of it was authentic, like Reece’s and Kit Kats. But would’ve appreciated seeing them try almond joy, skittles, weird M&M flavors, nerds, etc. oh and laffy taffy-especially banana flavor hahaha
@evantesseract737 it's not syrup, it's juice. Like when you cut into a perfectly cooked steak and the natural flavor and some seasoning oozes out, is it steak syrup?
It's so lovely and wholesome reading all the Americans in the comments, going through nostalgia, because they weren't expecting Frito pie - as a brit, I also had no idea pecans grew on trees 😂😅 MUST come to this place, the pies look diviiinnneee
Funeral pie, also called raisin pie, was served at Amish and Old Order Mennonite gatherings for friends and family after a funeral. The sweet star of the funeral banquet was raisin pie, a dish so tied to the event that it became a euphemism for death itself. When an ailing member of the community took a turn for the worse, it was not uncommon to hear someone solemnly declare, “There will be raisin pie soon.”
Growing up, raisin pie was my dad's specialty. His German ancestors emigrated to Pennsylvania so I assume that is why his family always made this pie. I love it, however my children do not.
Blueberry pie is my favorite but more of a Maine blueberry pie. But my question is, where's the al a mode? Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the best!
I think Jolly need to go to the Florida Keys or south Florida sometime for real key lime pie. It’s supposed to be tart! While there, they can also experience a Cuban sandwich at conch fritters. Yum!
It seems like I remember them previously trying a key lime pie while in the USA but thinking it overly tart. I like my key lime pie to be slightly tart. Sometimes it’s an individual taste thing. Just like with collard greens. Sometimes they liked them and other times they didn’t when they cook had a lot of either lemon juice or vinegar in it. I prefer greens with just a smidgen of vinegar.
Any fruit can end up in a pie. Rhubarb-strawberry is popular. Peach, prune (no joke), any berries, banana cream, coconut cream, key lime (not fried at the fair), etc. Yes--- p'KHAN pies are amazing.
Cherry pie, lemon meringue, strawberry pie, huckleberry pie, blackberry pie. Marionberry pie is a favorite here because the Marionberries (a blackberry) are grown here in abundance. They are an especially delicious variety of blackberry. Mince pie or mincemeat pie. The dreaded gooseberry pie. He didn't offer you peach pie?
Non-American talking here, you can answer this and anyone else cuz more insight the better, you mention that any fruit can end up in a pie, is there the existence of "orange pie" or is it just a flavor enhancer like a squeezed orange juice, orange zest, etc.? Like in all of my life consuming American food media, I have never seen it before
@@theodelacruz2799 I'm a Floridian and I've never heard of an orange pie of any kind, but now that you mention it, it sounds wonderful, I love anything orange or lemon!!!
this dude is just a novice. you could tell by his pies. if he isnt going to serve them a cherry pie, or a strawberry and rhubarb pie, then he isnt taking his profession seriously.
@@sharnadixon-scott710 do you have strawberry rhubarb pie? it has to be my favorite. i'm sure it would go over well there, since it isnt normally made as sweet as typical american fruit pies
@@sharnadixon-scott710 also, i know blackcurrant is far more common in the UK; blackcurrant and apple is one of my favorite combinations. if you havent had that either, i suggest you find one or make one.
So many other classics to try: lemon meringue, chess pie, custard pie, chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut creme, grasshopper pie, peanut butter pie, rhubarb creme, apple crumb, peach crumb, chocolate walnut, possum pie, fresh strawberry pie, ohhhhhhhhh! I can't stop!!!! We love our pie in America!
They call it a Frito pie because when this recipe first came out you put the Fritos in a casserole dish then topped it with chili and sliced American cheese or Velveeta topped with chopped onions and then stuck in the oven to bake. (AKA the frito pie) It changes the consistency of the Fritos tremendously! I grew up eating Frito pie cooked that way and on the side we would have ranch style beans and fried potatoes . Takes me straight back to my childhood. 🤤 YUM
@@dean0247 i would say "good for them" but honestly they are just a step behind the rest of us. i just made a chili yesterday, with beans, that my(texan) wife said was the best she'd ever had. better than any out of all the chili competitions she's been to. trust me, she isnt just buttering my biscuits; it actually is. every winter she makes us eat it for at least a month straight.
Maybe I’m an oddball…but vanilla ice cream with like an apple pie which might be a tad sweet idk I think it might be a bit much and so (I don’t think it’s done before but like apple 😊pie with dark chocolate ice cream) I think I would love it even more) 😅
Literally got so excited when he said he was from Mississippi! Grew up there as well, I also work in the industry and it is incredible to see others working round the world and sharing our comfort foods! Cheers to you, David and thanks to Jolly for sharing their experience! 💙
I love how the main chef was born & raised in Mississippi yet lives and works in London. Amazing! In Australia 🇦🇺 I’m used to savoury pies but I love desserts & any sweet pie with friends would make me happy 😅
I wish we had better meat pies in the US. They're not non-existent, chicken pot pie is popular, but the next closest thing most people ever consume is something like a hot pocket.
@@BenjaminKlahn We have pork pies. Although truthfully, all the ones I've had (and made myself) were made or influenced by French Canadians now living in the US.
@@g.h.milanboseblut5616I have never heard it called Frito pie. It’s a walking taco. This is the first restaurant I’ve ever seen serve it. I think it’s supposed to be a novelty the way this place is presenting it. Usually people just make it at home late at night when they’re high or drunk.
We should all have someone from Mississippi as our pie friend. As a Brit who emigrated to the US, I love American pies. I’ve never had Shoefly Pie, but I’m so there for it. I live in San Francisco and we say pecarn pie. It’s a regional pronunciation, as others in the US call it pee-can. There is no wrong way to say pecan. Pumpkin pie is Thanksgiving. I’m all in for this as I love the time of the year as I’m a December baby. Sweet potato pie is so scrumptious. Thank you America for everything you’ve given us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I disagree. You say pe-cahn, like he said it, because they grow here (in orchards!) and that's the way we say it. People also have them in their yards. In the south, its pe-cahn, and you make prah-leens with them (spelled praline).
@@jswjr6001 Lived in Gawga since 1960....never heard anything but Pe-cahn. I queried a 6th generation Georgian from middle GA peach/pecan country once if they pronounced it pee-can and she was insulted that I even asked.
We also do blackberry crumbles in the US. In the south, we do blackberry dumplings too. I would like to see a meringue pie and chocolate cream pie. A sugar pie is kinda like a pecan pie without pecans. Edit: too many pies… also peanut butter, various ice box pies. I realize I know way too much about pie.
Now they just need a Texan making TexMex and BBQ and their collection of fine international world cuisine will be complete! They gave us the British invasion, maybe at some point we can return the favor and give 'em a Buccee's =)
not really. those pies looked weak and i for one dont want those to represent the US abroad. where's the strawberry rhubarb? where's the blackcurrant and apple? the mixed berry? the CHERRY for heaven's sake?! you could tell by the crust, loose fillings, and bad ratio of filling to crust that this man is a novice. whatever; he's living his dream i guess. still though, i hope they get a real pie maker over there one day
County fair pie contest, represent! I think the chef is trying for a rustic look, like French tarts, because I expect a lattice somewhere and there is none.
@@sharnadixon-scott710 well, then i guess they already have it down pat brother! no need to try most of the american versions. although i do prefer american "pot pies" to the british meat pies. maybe they should try some of those next 'pie' episode.
You two always make me laugh and smile. That is a true gift from God, and something I needed in these crazy times. I just voted, and can't wait for the US and the rest of the world to get back on track. Thank you for sharing your joy. Blueberry pie is my absolute favorite!! We have blueberry bushes in our yard, so I pick them, freeze them, and use them throughout the year until the next batch comes along. Blueberry muffins are another favorite that you should try. Must put some lemon in the batter to really make the blueberry "POP".
Frito Pie in the bag is the best way. Baked is also great, but this is the original walking taco. 4:19 Good, on you, Ollie! You saw it, immediately!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Growing up in S. Texas at our High School football games, when it's cool in the fall, we could go to the snack stand and get Frito Pie which was a bag of Fritos, with chili and cheese on top. It warmed the hands, but was also convenient and awesome. Glad you boys liked it!
I'm of southern descent. My grandmother's motto regarding pie is, The best pie is any pie done right. I personally like pecan, but any pie is good to me.
As a Texan, I would like to say that you guys have a real gem of a pie maker in David. For great pie making, you can't get any better than a true southerner. Hats off to David.
I love ya'll! One of my favorite channels! I grew up in Texas and we had Frito Pie at school, sports games and at home! Its a childhood favorite 😊 I do enjoy every video that ya'll make and I hope that you research Better Help and the major issues (at least here in the US) and consider not working with them in the future. Thanks again for another awesome video!
I had never tried it before I moved to the Midwest because rhubarb wasn’t popular in other places I lived. I tried it. I didn’t hate it but wasn’t my cup of tea that I would crave it like I do key lime sometimes.
Peanut butter cream pie is a game changer! I made it once for an American lady married to her Australian husband living in Australia, from an Amish recipe ... We were in heaven!!
I live and was born in the USA and I love pie. My crust is made with only butter no shortening, lard or oil so it is flaky and buttery. Apple and Pumpkin are my favorite but a fresh peach is up there for me too. Also Lemon Merange is something I grew up eating since we had lemon trees (and other citrus) in our yard.
I know you just finished your wonderful tour of the American South, but the next time you are in the area, from Dallas, TX through to Georgia, you'll find city parks which have century+ old pecan trees, mostly growing near creeks. There's a few in Plano, TX that I think are in some record books. They're huge, ancient, and throw pecans that are free to the public.
Brought back bags and bags of pecans from my last trip to Texas! Don’t tell ‘em, but that year they were tastier than the ones from Georgia… 😂 Also, I always equate Texas with pie - Royer’s was one of my favorite stops on a long trip through OK & TX in 2009; still remember it after all these years!
4:41 Born and raised in Nebraska. TIL about Frito pie. Gonna have to try this! And I am also going to agree that it brings me a little bit of joy to see an actual US person serving up the pie love to you! 14:02 oh bless you for saying it! I will never understand the Obsession with adding raisins to desserts. Like bread pudding, does it really Have to have raisins? No! 😅 17:14 it’s too bad, that when you were in the area where so many of them grow, that you didn’t get to see a pecan tree. They’re one of my favorite trees, there is a graceful elegance to them.
All these pies look so delicious. I live in Mississippi and my grandmother always called the sugar pie a depression pie. I love blueberry pie ❤️. Love you all 🤗
Sugar pie (or variation of it) was made long before the depression. However, it was popular during the depression because of the few ingredients needed. Water Pie was a more popular depression pie. @christianseibold3369
"If you are still alive at the time of my funeral can you make sure this is served? Because I want everyone to be really really sad" LMAO I LOVE OLLIE🤣☠
My grandma who is about as British as they come (grew up during the second world war and was taught to cook in the same way as most girls of that time) makes all of the fruit pies with whatever fruit she can get her hands on. Different type of pastry (less buttery shortcrust) but we definitely have sweet pies in our heritage.
Definitely, I think it's how they were brought up. I agree that in the UK the pies you most commonly buy are savoury but sweet pies are a thing here, just usually homemade
Perfectly timed episode! Growing up we never celebrated halloween in the traditional sense. (I'm American btw). Instead we would have pie for dinner! A tradition that has continued for over 15 years. Yesterday we had pumpkin, apple, pear, and pecan pie all homemade of course! I'm so glad you found an authentic way to try these amazing dishes.
TheFrito pie is one started by American people for football games . As you see the bag is used and cheese , chili, sour cream and hot sauce are added to a bag of Fritos ! We love it in Texas
was so relieved to hear an American accent on the baker lol

So cool to see a Mississippi dude in the UK, sharing our American style pies! He obviously knows his pies very well, and they all look REALLY good! I grew up eating Frito pies, which they actually sold at all my Little League baseball games. I'd love to visit his shop!
He doesn't sound or act like he's from Mississippi at all.
They came over from NYC in 2005 so the accent is bound to have gone @@pmbbmp
@@sharnadixon-scott710 That explains the "no MS accent" thing.
"We do blackberry crumble, I guess this is the American equivalent" Boys, wait until you find out about U.S. fruit crisps and their many various regional versions. We have crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, buckles, and probably a bunch of others I'm less aware of! They're all fundamentally like a crumble, typically with different types of topping ranging from the same exact as a UK crumble to (US) biscuit dough on top.
and fried pies!
We do crumbles and cobblers and crisps in the UK but I've never heard of a grunt @@gayleswellness2225
Don't forget the Pan Dowdy. There really are a thousand names.
they really need to try some good american pot pies. i wonder if(like me) they would prefer them to their version.
Yes, I would add that the pies are a great way to preserve the fruit for the colder months and eat it when other supplies are running out. The high sugar content is a natural preservative.
The raisin pie... Each year my Grandmother would bake each grandchild their favorite pie for their birthday. Some how she got the idea that I liked raisin pie, for 45 years I forced down Raisin pie and smiled until she passed. Gosh I would love a raisin pie ❤
What a way to represent American dessert! Kudos to Dave from Mississippi 🙌🏼
And barely scratched the surface. 🤣
For everyone commenting about Frito pies called something else in other parts of the country: Fritos were invented in Texas and so was Frito pie. It was originally just a bag of Fritos, Wolf brand chili and some grated cheese. People started adding things like peppers, onions, etc., but it originally was a basic snack at football games, rodeos and such.
That's interesting. I didn't know the history and didn't grow up there.
Wolf Chili to me is the best one out of all of the canned chili varieties we have. No, not nearly as good as homemade, but it beats the socks off of Hormel every day of the week.
And it's definitely a pie because the Fritos are the crust and the pie filling is the chili.
I thought it was a walking taco
My family, who is from Texas, called this a "pepper belly". Chili tipped with fritos, cheese and onions. I've always been confused by the name, though. 😂
Frito pie was something my mom made regularly. My mom, ever thrifty, washed and reused the disposable mini chicken pot pie tins. Getting a mini frito pie all to myself was heaven.
I grew up in Tennessee but never heard of frito pie beforehand.... I think we just called them nachos
@@Sdority905 If you're using Fritos as nachos, I weep for your nacho experience 😂
@@Sdority905 A proper Frito pie is made almost like a layered dip in a casserole dish or pie tin. What they did in this video was wild.
@@IceMetalPunk People make nachos with Fritos throughout the South and the Southwest. It's not nearly as common as using tortilla chips, but it's also not rare either.
@@merlball8520nachos are made with nacho chips or tortilla chips. If you use Fritos it is no longer nachos.
Absolutely beautiful pies. London is so lucky to have David baking there.
At first I was worried when the video mentioned trying American pies in London. I thought, "These pies aren't going to be our real pies." But then the owner comes out with an American accent? He's from Mississippi? You're good!
I know right? As soon as he said he was from Mississippi, I felt so relaxed.
I love that they got to try Frito Pies. Pure nostalgia. And you can visibly see their faces trying to stay awake by the time the pumpkin pie is out lol.
Idk but David is just so unique. I really cant tell what and why but he's so genuine, no diddy, i love that guy
Thank you - I have to stop reading these my head won’t fit through the door.
@@outsidertart1878you should try the Frito pie using chili cheese flavored Fritos. It’s a game changer. 😃😄😁
I'm glad he had a sweet potato pie. They aren't as well known as pumpkin or apple but should be in the conversation as the best American pie.
BAH!!! i don't do raisins either. I love that this is in London and the owner is American. No "faking" or "trying to copy" techniques/recipes. REAL DEAL YUMMINESS!!!!
The closest thing I can think of is maybe bread pudding...
Like Ollie said, "even one raisin would ruin that pie"! I even shudder at the thought of eating a raisin!
Agreed! I'm an American who lived in the UK as a digital nomad. It was hilarious how many British restaurants would serve 'American-style' food that wasn't at all what most Americans eat. One such example would be 'American-style' pancakes or waffles served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, which isn't at all anything I've seen in my 50 years in the USA.

Southerner here. Other Southern pie favorites: lemon meringue, chocolate meringue, coconut cream, and banana cream. I live in Houston. We have citrus trees in our backyard. We make an orange pie (since lemon and lime pies are popular, why not orange?) with fresh squeezed orange juice instead of lemon juice. And my mom's pie is everyone's favorite: a bourbon, dark chocolate pecan pie with an extra layer of dark chocolate on the bottom. On March 14th, we have pie day at our house with a beef and Guinness pie (thank you for exposing us to that, Ireland) and a few sweet pies. Frito pie is a staple in most lunchrooms in American elementary schools. We love pie!!!
Buttermilk pie is my favorite, here in Alabama.
Lemon meringue is just behind sweet potato and tied with pecan pie as my 2nd favorite pie. I love oranges, so I imagine your orange pie is amazing 😃

Great to have an actual southern American making the pies to get the authentic experience. Unlike whatever list you guys looked up for that Halloween candy episode
lolol
Shots fired.
Ok some of it was authentic, like Reece’s and Kit Kats. But would’ve appreciated seeing them try almond joy, skittles, weird M&M flavors, nerds, etc. oh and laffy taffy-especially banana flavor hahaha
I was shocked at how offended I felt. It’s like they don’t even know us
In the States, we say it can be both ways. In most AA homes, we eat sweet potato pie, not pumpkin, for Thanksgiving.
We use both autumn and fall...its not sugar syrup. It is the juice from the apple, the melted sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Its called goodness
You're right, but it's also fair to call it a syrup - I think that's all he meant. It becomes a syrup in the baking 😁
@evantesseract737 it's not syrup, it's juice. Like when you cut into a perfectly cooked steak and the natural flavor and some seasoning oozes out, is it steak syrup?
@@catherinesearles1194No, but I'm going to start calling it Steak Syrup from now on. 😂
@@StencilMunky 😬 lol
David has a very calm humor and can keep up with Ollie plus he makes pies! Vibe ✅
Every time they said "soggy bottom" I thought of the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Thank you, David, for representing American food so well!
I didn't think of the movie itself, but it did bring the song to mind!
Me too! I loved that movie!
😂😂, I did too.
"Hot Damn it's the Soggy Bottom Boys!"
Meanwhile, referring to David as "The Pie Maker" was giving me Pushing Daisies nostalgia.
It's so lovely and wholesome reading all the Americans in the comments, going through nostalgia, because they weren't expecting Frito pie - as a brit, I also had no idea pecans grew on trees 😂😅 MUST come to this place, the pies look diviiinnneee

Funeral pie, also called raisin pie, was served at Amish and Old Order Mennonite gatherings for friends and family after a funeral. The sweet star of the funeral banquet was raisin pie, a dish so tied to the event that it became a euphemism for death itself. When an ailing member of the community took a turn for the worse, it was not uncommon to hear someone solemnly declare, “There will be raisin pie soon.”
Growing up, raisin pie was my dad's specialty. His German ancestors emigrated to Pennsylvania so I assume that is why his family always made this pie. I love it, however my children do not.
lol, no it's called "funeral pie" cause of it's high sugar content, so you ate it last after all the other deserts.
Blueberry pie is my favorite but more of a Maine blueberry pie. But my question is, where's the al a mode? Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the best!
I think Jolly need to go to the Florida Keys or south Florida sometime for real key lime pie. It’s supposed to be tart! While there, they can also experience a Cuban sandwich at conch fritters. Yum!
You forgot deviled crabs!
@@SC_Jolly Those too!
I came here to say that. Key lime is amazing. And that was not a real one.
It seems like I remember them previously trying a key lime pie while in the USA but thinking it overly tart. I like my key lime pie to be slightly tart. Sometimes it’s an individual taste thing. Just like with collard greens. Sometimes they liked them and other times they didn’t when they cook had a lot of either lemon juice or vinegar in it. I prefer greens with just a smidgen of vinegar.
The comment I've been looking for lol key lime pie is better tart
Any fruit can end up in a pie. Rhubarb-strawberry is popular. Peach, prune (no joke), any berries, banana cream, coconut cream, key lime (not fried at the fair), etc. Yes--- p'KHAN pies are amazing.
OMG prune-apricot pie - so delicious.
That Key Lime in the video looks more like a cheesecake. These boys need to visit a Publix.
Cherry pie, lemon meringue, strawberry pie, huckleberry pie, blackberry pie. Marionberry pie is a favorite here because the Marionberries (a blackberry) are grown here in abundance. They are an especially delicious variety of blackberry. Mince pie or mincemeat pie. The dreaded gooseberry pie. He didn't offer you peach pie?
Non-American talking here, you can answer this and anyone else cuz more insight the better, you mention that any fruit can end up in a pie, is there the existence of "orange pie" or is it just a flavor enhancer like a squeezed orange juice, orange zest, etc.? Like in all of my life consuming American food media, I have never seen it before
@@theodelacruz2799 I'm a Floridian and I've never heard of an orange pie of any kind, but now that you mention it, it sounds wonderful, I love anything orange or lemon!!!

So many other classics to try: lemon meringue, chess pie, custard pie, chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut creme, grasshopper pie, peanut butter pie, rhubarb creme, apple crumb, peach crumb, chocolate walnut, possum pie, fresh strawberry pie, ohhhhhhhhh! I can't stop!!!! We love our pie in America!
The owner seems so sweet and adorable.
They call it a Frito pie because when this recipe first came out you put the Fritos in a casserole dish then topped it with chili and sliced American cheese or Velveeta topped with chopped onions and then stuck in the oven to bake. (AKA the frito pie)
It changes the consistency of the Fritos tremendously!
I grew up eating Frito pie cooked that way and on the side we would have ranch style beans and fried potatoes . Takes me straight back to my childhood. 🤤 YUM
I use the ranch style beans in my chili for the frito pie. Can’t get anymore Texan than a good frito pie.
Yes, mom made it this way. I l0ve it, but it gives me insane heartburn.
We called them walking tacos where I'm from.
@@dean0247 Exactly.
@@dean0247 i would say "good for them" but honestly they are just a step behind the rest of us. i just made a chili yesterday, with beans, that my(texan) wife said was the best she'd ever had. better than any out of all the chili competitions she's been to. trust me, she isnt just buttering my biscuits; it actually is. every winter she makes us eat it for at least a month straight.
Need vanilla ice cream with all the pie!
Exactly! To cut the sweetness 😁
Or a good class of milk!
Maybe I’m an oddball…but vanilla ice cream with like an apple pie which might be a tad sweet idk I think it might be a bit much and so (I don’t think it’s done before but like apple 😊pie with dark chocolate ice cream) I think I would love it even more) 😅
ice cream is a cheat for mediocre pie
Glass of milk is all i prefer with my cake/pie desserts

I'm happy to see sweet potato pie getting the love it deserves!
Me too. I love homemade SPP.
Sweet potato pie is so much better than pumpkin pie in my opinion.
Literally got so excited when he said he was from Mississippi! Grew up there as well, I also work in the industry and it is incredible to see others working round the world and sharing our comfort foods! Cheers to you, David and thanks to Jolly for sharing their experience! 💙

@@g.h.milanboseblut5616I have never heard it called Frito pie. It’s a walking taco. This is the first restaurant I’ve ever seen serve it. I think it’s supposed to be a novelty the way this place is presenting it. Usually people just make it at home late at night when they’re high or drunk.
walking taco and frito pie are two different things
We used Fritos and we called a walking taco as well (but Doritos does sound fantastic).
I believe he did say he was from Mississippi so yeah
We should all have someone from Mississippi as our pie friend. As a Brit who emigrated to the US, I love American pies. I’ve never had Shoefly Pie, but I’m so there for it. I live in San Francisco and we say pecarn pie. It’s a regional pronunciation, as others in the US call it pee-can. There is no wrong way to say pecan. Pumpkin pie is Thanksgiving. I’m all in for this as I love the time of the year as I’m a December baby. Sweet potato pie is so scrumptious. Thank you America for everything you’ve given us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I disagree. You say pe-cahn, like he said it, because they grow here (in orchards!) and that's the way we say it. People also have them in their yards. In the south, its pe-cahn, and you make prah-leens with them (spelled praline).
@@als3243 Seem I'm from Texas and I've always heard praline as pray-leen.
@@als3243 nope it's pah-con in the south.. I should know.. lol and you're right on the pralines. Aunt Sally's are the best to me still!!
@@als3243 Pecan trees grow throughout the south. Texas is usually pe-cahn....Georgia gets more peek-n.
@@jswjr6001 Lived in Gawga since 1960....never heard anything but Pe-cahn. I queried a 6th generation Georgian from middle GA peach/pecan country once if they pronounced it pee-can and she was insulted that I even asked.
We also do blackberry crumbles in the US. In the south, we do blackberry dumplings too. I would like to see a meringue pie and chocolate cream pie. A sugar pie is kinda like a pecan pie without pecans. Edit: too many pies… also peanut butter, various ice box pies. I realize I know way too much about pie.
For someone who makes dessert with incredible amount of sugar David looks extremely healthy.
Good for him.
I assume he's not getting high off his own supply very often. If I worked there I'd be 500 pounds.
Y’all so lucky to have a true Mississippian baking pies in England! Wow! ❤
Now they just need a Texan making TexMex and BBQ and their collection of fine international world cuisine will be complete! They gave us the British invasion, maybe at some point we can return the favor and give 'em a Buccee's =)
not really. those pies looked weak and i for one dont want those to represent the US abroad. where's the strawberry rhubarb? where's the blackcurrant and apple? the mixed berry? the CHERRY for heaven's sake?! you could tell by the crust, loose fillings, and bad ratio of filling to crust that this man is a novice. whatever; he's living his dream i guess. still though, i hope they get a real pie maker over there one day

We have blueberry bushes in our yard, so I pick them, freeze them, and use them throughout the year until the next batch comes along. Blueberry muffins are another favorite that you should try. Must put some lemon in the batter to really make the blueberry "POP".
You should take this pies to the school kids to try it I want to see their reviews 😂
Maybe they will get the leftovers. They had a lot of pie left.
Frito Pie in the bag is the best way. Baked is also great, but this is the original walking taco. 4:19 Good, on you, Ollie! You saw it, immediately!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Growing up in S. Texas at our High School football games, when it's cool in the fall, we could go to the snack stand and get Frito Pie which was a bag of Fritos, with chili and cheese on top. It warmed the hands, but was also convenient and awesome. Glad you boys liked it!
What Ollie said about Josh was so sweet. Their friendship is so cute.
I'm of southern descent. My grandmother's motto regarding pie is, The best pie is any pie done right. I personally like pecan, but any pie is good to me.
I agree with your grandmother.
And, usually, if a Southern grandmother makes it, it's right!
she would be so incredibly disappointed in that man's pies. btw, strawberry and rhubarb is hard to beat in my book ;)
Pecan is my favorite too. But, well put.
Southern descent? Is that like your parents are southern but you’re from New York? 🤦♂️
Baby Carrot! 😍 So nice to see Josh being a dad! Congrats! 🧡 (Plus, delicious pies!)
I like when Jolly shares with the rest of the crew. I like seeing their reactions too.

Thanks again for another awesome video!
You guys need to try another "marriage" pie, Strawberry/ Rhubarb....Yum!
I imagine they have
My Mom used to make that. My Grandma always grew rhubarb in her garden. We kids used to pick rhubarb and dip the ends in sugar to eat it raw.
Pineapple/cherry for me.
I've never heard of it before , nor the funeral pie.. this makes me think he's from the northern parr of the state.
I had never tried it before I moved to the Midwest because rhubarb wasn’t popular in other places I lived. I tried it. I didn’t hate it but wasn’t my cup of tea that I would crave it like I do key lime sometimes.
Peanut butter cream pie is a game changer! I made it once for an American lady married to her Australian husband living in Australia, from an Amish recipe ... We were in heaven!!
Yes, Amish peanut butter pie is SO good!
I wish they could taste our northern pies which are not so sweet as in the South. But they are enjoying them and they are beautiful!
I'm Canadian and those look like pies my mum made. Yum
My grandma used to make a blueberry pie with vanilla pudding as a base, and it’s still my favorite thing ever.
Sounds delicious. Kudos to granny
I live and was born in the USA and I love pie. My crust is made with only butter no shortening, lard or oil so it is flaky and buttery. Apple and Pumpkin are my favorite but a fresh peach is up there for me too. Also Lemon Merange is something I grew up eating since we had lemon trees (and other citrus) in our yard.
Well done David, your southern pies look outstanding and by the response of the boys you are a master.
He's done a cook book called baked
You must try a true key lime pie. The tartness is the best part!
100% agree
Yes I was going to say as a Floridian this definitely isn’t an authentic key lime pie lol
Agreed!
I definitely would have to travel for this because no where in Australia 🇦🇺 would we get this 😪
Agree
I know you just finished your wonderful tour of the American South, but the next time you are in the area, from Dallas, TX through to Georgia, you'll find city parks which have century+ old pecan trees, mostly growing near creeks. There's a few in Plano, TX that I think are in some record books. They're huge, ancient, and throw pecans that are free to the public.
Brought back bags and bags of pecans from my last trip to Texas! Don’t tell ‘em, but that year they were tastier than the ones from Georgia… 😂 Also, I always equate Texas with pie - Royer’s was one of my favorite stops on a long trip through OK & TX in 2009; still remember it after all these years!

All these pies look so delicious. I live in Mississippi and my grandmother always called the sugar pie a depression pie. I love blueberry pie ❤️. Love you all 🤗
Did they call it that because it originated during the Great Depression? Or are they just referring to it helping with depression?
@ I’m not really sure. Both grandparents were born in the early 1900’s so I’m sure this was a treat .
I like blueberry cobbler better than pie but I will gobble it down either way.
Sugar pie (or variation of it) was made long before the depression. However, it was popular during the depression because of the few ingredients needed. Water Pie was a more popular depression pie. @christianseibold3369

My grandma who is about as British as they come (grew up during the second world war and was taught to cook in the same way as most girls of that time) makes all of the fruit pies with whatever fruit she can get her hands on. Different type of pastry (less buttery shortcrust) but we definitely have sweet pies in our heritage.
Definitely, I think it's how they were brought up. I agree that in the UK the pies you most commonly buy are savoury but sweet pies are a thing here, just usually homemade
The best way to eat blueberry pie is with vanilla ice cream on top of a warm slice.🎉
Grew up on these pies in Michigan, these are not just southern. My Mom used a mix of lard and butter in her pie crust to make it really flaky.
that's how I learned in home ec in the 70's
look if yall can call a dozen different things pudding, we can call a frito pie a pie
I grew up with wild raspberry pies (from my mother). That’s the one that rocks them all.
One of my favorite episodes. Enjoyed the commentary from everyone including David.
I love when Ollie points at something fiercely to express his pleasure with it.
Oh man, this has made me look forward to Thanksgiving even more! The pies here are the best!
Perfectly timed episode! Growing up we never celebrated halloween in the traditional sense. (I'm American btw). Instead we would have pie for dinner! A tradition that has continued for over 15 years. Yesterday we had pumpkin, apple, pear, and pecan pie all homemade of course! I'm so glad you found an authentic way to try these amazing dishes.
Aw the owner seems like such a warm and kind person!
