I think it’s safe to say that most Americans would use/expect tart red cherries, which are bright red, in a cherry pie. There’s no confusing a cherry pie with blackberry, blueberry, or mixed berry.
The last time the Try channel did American pies (back when they were Facts), they were given the saddest, most miserable excuse for a pumpkin pie known to human creation and, of course, it was received with universal distain. All the Americans in the comment section were rightfully livid. So while it appears their cherry pie has missed the mark, they are showing improvement.
In the US we use Montmorency cherries. Those are the bright red ones Americans are familiar with. In Europe, they mostly use Morello cherries, which are very dark, about the color of a typical blackberry when they're cooked. But they taste just like a regular tart cherry. So in Europe, it would be pretty easy to confuse a cherry and blackberry pie by appearance. That said, their reaction kinda indicates that they probably used a sweet cherry or black cherry, which are the same color as Morello cherries, but don't have anywhere near as much flavor, and they lose what little flavor they have when they're cooked.
In 2007, I went to Ireland to see some family (I'm in US) but decided to stick around an extra week to travel around. I happened to be in Galway at a hostel on Thanksgiving day and had spent that day w 4 tourists from four other countries and 2 from other parts of Ireland. I went to Tesco and bought the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving meal and used the hostel kitchen for all of us, including the pie (apple and pumpkin). Everyone loved the pie, I even convinced 2 to try the apple pie with cheese on it! One of the best Thanksgiving. Complete strangers, from all over the world. But for one day we just enjoyed each others company, thankful for our blessings. And pie. Cannot forget to be thankful for pie.
Seriously. It's the most Thanksgiving pie here. Only pecan rivals pumpkin as an Autumn pie, though I much prefer pumpkin myself. Apple and cherry are just pies. I've never heard of sweet potato pie. Yams and fries, sure, but not pie.
I worked for a fruit distributer for two years, and I can confirm, the cherries used in that pie look to be blackjack cherries. What we Americans are used to are tart cherries that have the traditional red color. Blackjack cherries are juicey but have very little flavor so yeah the pie probably was bland.
@@valeriedemello1794 I made pumpkin pie from huge jack-o-lantern pumpkins for years. I didn't realize the small pumpkins were the pie pumpkins. But they all taste good to me!
Must agree. After being divorced, friends would invite me to a pot bless dinner and ask me to bring a dessert, thinking I would buy a pie or cake. NOT! Brought sweet potatoe pie with whip cream and lime pie with warm cherries. The other wives were asking the hostess if I really made the pies.
I'm 71yrs old American and I don't think I've ever eaten vanilla ice cream with any pie except with hot apple pie or apple crisp (a kind of cobbler). Whoever suggested ice-cream with sounds as if they are not that familiar with American pies 1st hand. Ice-cream is just a delicious way to eat very hot party. Of course there is no accounting for taste. Keep trying them all. 6:09
@@shelbyseelbach9568Apple pie is the only possible pie that will pair with ice cream, but definitely stands on its own and I respect your Originalist stance, sir.
I've never seen cherry pie that looks like that! You've been duped! Cherry pie is made with sour red cherries, they're very specific and they're even called "pie cherries". They're EVERYTHING! Tart and sweet. Demand the real thing! Also, sweet potato pie is more of a southern or cultural preference. Pumpkin is the choice of the vast majority for Thanksgiving. Pecan, speaks for itself, it's amazing!
The cherries you have in Ireland and the UK are not the ones that we use in North America for "Cherry" Pie. Our filling is made with sharp bright red cherries; a totally different variety. Some people call them "Pin Cherries" but most are a "sour" cherry or Amarelle and particularly the Montmorency variety of Amarelle which is bright red. Cheers from Canada.
You know, I noticed their standard cherries are different in Ireland when I watch one of their cocktail videos and the recipe called for a maraschino cherry and when they gave the the cocktail, the cherry was almost black. This video just confirms they've got a different regular cherry. It's not ideal but it would make sense to send them a can or two of Comstock cherry pie filling.
@@TheRisskee That's not accurate. There are maraschino cherries which are bright red, and there are Luxardo Maraschino Cherries which are the black ones. They do taste different, but both are available at most liquor/cocktail stores. A lot of bartenders will use the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries to elevate their cocktails a bit more, since not everyone is as familiar with them and because they have a much richer flavor. I agree that the cherries used in the video weren't the right kind, but the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries can be found just about anywhere....or at least in the US anyway.
The purple-ish color and small fruits of that pie looked more like blueberry, to me. Was expecting the red color of the classic cherry. No photos of cherry pie look like that, at all!
If that's a cherry pie, I'm stunned. Cherry pie is traditionally made from tart Queen Anne cherries creating a pleasant sweet-tart combination. The filling is red.
To me, it looked like blueberry pie, that might account for the lack of taste. Don't get me wrong, I like blueberries but they don't have a strong flavor. Cherries on the other hand are really flavorful.
First off, cherry pie does not look like that (at least none that I've ever had) it should have a beautiful sweet/tart mix of a taste. Secondly, I think the pecan and the sweet potato pie should have been made by a true southern. I am from Pennsylvania and can honestly say so far the best tasting is from the south. I've tasted them, I know. Northern states, I am truly sorry your's just don't cut it.
I think sweet potato pie is more of a Southern thing. I had a slice in a BBQ shack in Texas many years ago. I still think about it. It is interesting to see which you prefer, pumpkin or sweet potato.
I have to say that the "cherry" pie you sampled looked and sounded nothing like our cherry pie. Our cherry pie is bright red and bursting with cherry flavor.
@@snowflakehunter If you cook pies with real fresh red sweet cherries, the pies are red like a strawberry pie is. The darker cherries I think are the tart sour cherries grown by Michigan. When you cook your pies, don't use purchased fruit mix. Slice and dice your fruit and sprinkle a 1/4 cup of sugar over it and let it sit in the sugar to pull out the juices for an hour or more. Then dump it in your pie shell and bake. Edit- If you want a non juicy pie add a little flour or cornstarch to thicken and gel up the juices some.
@@Skitdora2010 In all likelihood, these cherries came from the cherry capital of the world...Croatia. I say that given the proximity of it to Ireland where this video was shot. To narrow it down further I suspect the cherries came from the Luxardo Family Farms in Italy which grows a proprietary cherry that is a type of Morello cherry and is super dark red.
New life plan: Move to Ireland, open pie shop. My parents owned a bakery in my youth, my mom's pie recipes won an award from the city. I feel like I'd do well there with how excited everybody got over those pies, and I know how to make all of them.
The problem is you won't find the ingredients you need to make these pies in Ireland lol. You could truck it in but that will cost you a LOT. Which is why most of these people have never eaten these pies before.
@Bottlecapbill you don't have pumpkins or apples trees or cherries in Ireland? I imagine pecans would be expensive just like here. But surprised you're cant buy Sugar, flour, eggs, butter, cinnamon? That would all have to shipped in? Pie are very simple with few ingredients.
Out of all the pies presented, sweet potato pie can vary the most depending on how it is made. Different people use different spices to flavor it, thus the taste can widely vary. When it's made right, sweet potato pie is my favorite Thanksgiving pie.
Exactly. Some people don't know how to make a proper sweet potato pie. Especially when you are supposed to press the cooked sweet potato through a sieve to remove the fibrous threads. The spice blend and the sweetener can influence the overall character of the pie and the color. Willing to bet no molasses or brown sugar was used in that pie.
@@ThumbsMcThumb ummm, no. Sweet potato pie is a new world invention and has every reason to be present in Thanksgiving. Your idea of it being an imposter is both historically inaccurate and borderline ignorant. Say you don’t like it, fine. Say it’s an imposter to pumpkin pie, and get called out for not knowing the significance of its existence.
Great video, and I’m happy y’all loved the pumpkin pie! I’m a pie baker and fiddler in the US (with Irish roots), and Thanksgiving is the busiest time of year for me, so this was the perfect suggested video 😁👍👍👩🏻🍳
That cherry pie was made with those dark canned cherries that are used for some purpose that I've never been able to figure out...not what we typically use in the States. Should have been tart/sour cherries that have a wonderful complex flavor with the sugar and pastry. Also "Dutch Apple Pie" is the best version of apple pie, which has a pastry shell filled with apples and topped with a crisp and highly spiced cinnamon and ginger crumb.
My only guess for why some stores use/sell those dark cherry pies is because said cherry tree produces well and is easy to cultivate. A proper red cherry pie, while not my favorite, has tones of flavor.
Crumbs that fall off and make a mess. No thanks. Give me a lattice double crust, still warm with the ice cream on top. Wafer thin is also a crime. Nice thick chunks that give you a real bite of fruit. Mix of apple varieties too. They just need to come to Texas and have someone cook for them because most of their pies looked bad.
Makes me wonder if the pecan pie was made correctly because even by American standards its a very sweet pie, a caramel drizzle should be completely unnecessary.
@@Yukikazehalo if the caramel is just as sweet as the pecan pie then it wouldnt make a difference. It doesnt make it sweeter than it already is if both the pie and drizzle are of equal sweetness. it just adds another flavor profile.
I remember when I first moved to Scotland 16 years ago, I wondered how I would ever make a pumpkin pie. Since I couldn’t get any canned puree, I bought an actual pumpkin and made it from scratch. It was far more labour intensive than I ever imagined, but it turned out really good. I made a Thanksgiving dinner for my Scottish friends who had never had an American Thanksgiving experience. They approved.
Fun fact the stuff in the can isn't a actually a pumpkin. At least not the kind you'd use for decoration or a jack-o'-lantern. The canned stuff is A Dickinson squash. Pumpkin is a broad term so they can label it as that still.
My sister lives in Australia and would take canned pumpkin back when she came home to visit. She once made a couple of pumpkin pies for a gathering at work. They were a huge hit to the point that 2 guys almost had a fight over the last piece. America is a huge pie loving place. We have tons of types. I always add a splash of bourbon in my pecan pie. And from scratch banana cream or baked coconut pies are wonderful. I love lemon chess, blueberry and peach pies too. I like homemade pie better than cake but most store bought pies are gross. Terrible bland or overly sweet filling with disgusting crust. My kids cried when given store bought pie for the first time. They wanted to know what was “wrong” with it.
6:17 - a little bit like a cheesecake. Of course, there's also pumpkin cheesecake, which is a whole other ball game. :D And I'm glad at least one person liked the Sweet Potato Pie. It's not one I tend to actively crave, but I do quite like it when I happen to have it. And pumpkin used to be an absolute favorite of mine... I still like it, but less than I once did. Apple, though... yum!
I live in Canada I've avoided pumpkin pies for 30 years and I was at my new in-laws and they have pumpkin pie so I tried some and I wondered why I was not eating them my whole life they are so good
Just the act of avoiding it is a sin against food. Your penance for such an act is to spend the next 30 years spreading the good news of the pumpkin pie
I love pumpkin pie and make it from real pumpkins (not canned), but I know that pumpkin pie is a bit of an acquired taste - I understand why some people don't care for it even though it's my favorite. But anybody who doesn't like a fruit pie (apple, cherry, blueberry) needs to have their heads examined!!
I'm glad that Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving. You plan it around the harvest. It's not that hard. Such a shame other countries seldom join in the fun. There's no reason Ireland can't have pumpkin pie, roast turkey, etc.
Glad you had a good experience, because Pumpkin pie is easy to mess up. A lot of other pies have more room for error but pumpkin pie does not. Too much or too little of almost any ingredient and the pie is terrible, baked for too long or not long enough and the pie is terrible. It is just far too easy to mess up.
Wow, A good cherry pie needs to be made with tart cherries. I have never seen a cherry pie that looked like that one. I think it had some other berries mixed in.
Michigander here. You need red tart cherries from Traverse City, MI for the best cherry pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Stay away from the canned filling and make sure that all the pits are removed (Guess how I know)
As a North Carolinian growing up on all of these pies homemade, I can attest to that a sweet potato pie is freaking amazing and should be sweet like that pumpkin pie. Both should be delicious, I think that one you had was not correctly made.
I had the same thoughts. My mom makes a sweet potato custard that’s very similar to the pie without the crust. She makes a nut and brown sugar with butter crumble for the topping, similar to a Dutch apple pie.
It didn't even look right...it was too light. My family loves pumpkin pie so I mostly make that for holiday dinners but I like sweet potato pie just a bit more.
As an American, I've never actually had sweet-potato pie, so no worries there. You guys got screwed on the cherry pie though! How is it black and not red? Legit cherry pie is delicious.
Yeag sweet potato can be all over the place in taste depending on who makes it. Cherry has to be the right kind of cherry. Mt grandmother had two cherry trees that she called "pie cherries" and they were not very good when we ate them right off the tree. I remember them being sour and a bit "tough" for lack of a better word, but they sure were good in a pie. One of the older neighbor ladies used to get some off my grandmother and make apple-cherry pie that was really good. Then being that both my grandmothers were Pa Dutch, there was always shoofly pie
For the holidays, so true. I add a thin layer of chocolate chips before pouring in the filling and baking. The recipe for the filling is from my mother in law who was born and raised in Georgia, and they know pecan pies, damn it. 😉
As an American who absolutely loves pumpkin pie, it was fun watching everyone come around on it. They were all looking at it with fear in their eyes at first, but the fear quickly turned to disbelief at what their taste buds were telling them.
Sweet potatoe pie homemade and done right is awesome! It’s a dessert regional to the southern United States. It’s origin is actually political. The pumpkin pie as we know it today originated in the New England area and quickly became a thanksgiving staple. But as differences between the North and the South magnified in the mid 1800s, it became taboo to eat a Yankee pie. They switched out the pumpkin for sweet potatoes. You tell a family’s political alignments by the dessert they served.
Interesting! Yup, I’m a Yankee and totally unfamiliar with sweet potato pie. Although for part of my Thanksgiving dinner, I do make a fine sweet potato casserole, topped with a pecan/butter/brown sugar mix and flavored with vanilla and bourbon. Yum.
I prefer sweet potato pie to pumpkin pie. Almost every pumpkin pie I've had has too much cinnamon added to give it taste. Give me a good sweet potato pie any day. That said, pecan pie is the king of them all!
You guys need a cherry pie made from Oregon tart cherries, like montmorency, balanced with sugar, a buttery flakey crust, and whipped cream. It's perfect.
My grandma used to make great Apple/cherry pies and the apple was the green ones and the cherries came from the wild black cherry tree in her back yard! 🤤
I live in Minnesota and I have never even seen a black cherry pie. But a tart red cherry pie made by some that knows how to bake is FABULOUS! Tart red cherries usually ripen around the 1st week of July. I would pick the cherries from my Mom's cherry tree and she would bake FABULOUS cherry pies! Except for the year that 5 baby raccoons climbed into the tree and ate EVERY CHERRY!
On Monday my pear tree will be full of pears about a week away from ripe, then come Wednesday the critters will have stripped the tree clean. My yard backs up to a RR right of way, the over growth that hides the tracks and trains does quiet things some, but is also makes for a great home for a wide variety of critters.
@@brettbothwell7740 I think that you are quite well aware that the 2nd amendment is there to protect the 1st. Murderapolis and St. Paul are pretty blue.

the only black cherries i have had were blue bell black cherry ice cream which was my favorite till they discontinued it years ago. one pie they didn't get to was raison pie, its like eating spoonfuls of sugar, but in my teens it was my favorite holiday pie. imagine cherry pie but with plumped raisons and 10 times as sweet.
I'm with you guys!! I LOVE pumpkin pie but I am not a fan of sweet potato pie. So many people say they taste the same but I definitely don't think they do, nor is the texture similar.
I also thought it was a blueberry pie! They also misrepresented sweet potato pie. It's a southern dish and it's amazing if made right. I have a feeling they just mashed up sweet potatoes and put it in a pie shell by their reactions. 😆
True! I think someone in Ireland made the lies from a recipe & substituted BLACK cherries. A for effort, D- for execution...I've NEVER met anyone who would make that mistake. By the way @TheTryChannel, there are at least 4 DOZEN very different pies y'all could/should try.... and none of those stores bought pies! The pumpkin pie should've been 50% thicker & the apple pie needed big chunks of apples, plus Lemon Meringue, REAL cherry pie, plus 4 different kinds of chocolate pie, etc., etc. Thanksgiving is a flop unless the most, uptight, snooty, self-loving fashionista loosens his/her belt & the top snap/button of their pants, stating, "I'll never eat that much again as long as I live....but I plan to try NEXT Thanksgiving!"
As a Northerner, I've never had sweet potato pie. Pumpkin is my fave...no need to branch out. I've probably only had pecan pie once in my life as well.
As an American of German and African ancestry, I love the Irish people… Since we have the same sense of humor!! You guys put the spark into any party!!
Agreed. I mean part of the things we eat on Thanksgiving is that its from the Harvest. The apples are perfect at this particular time of year, and so are the pumpkins and sweet potatoes.
Being from Iowa, I've had all of these pies, many MANY times. But, I've never seen a cherry pie that looks like that. I wouldn't call that a cherry pie.
Honestly I think of cherry pie as more of a Christmastime thing. Also that cherry pie looked bizarre, like it was from an alternate dimension's America. Our cherry pie filling is like neon red, like you could flag down a truck with it.
A good wild blackberry cobbler is to die for as well, but a steaming hot cobbler blackberry or peach, truly can NOT be beat. My grans made sinfully delicious cobblers. Us kids would go out and harvest blackberries, peaches and apricots just so she'd make us cobblers. I miss my grans. God took her to cook cobblers for him.
The pumpkin looked overbaked to the point of being burnt, and the cherry was the darkest cherry pie I've seen in my life. Glad you all liked em - pumpkin is super easy to make by the way.
Pumpkin is only easy to make if you can find it in a can though. My mom used to make it from scratch with real pumpkins and it is NOT easy to make. They do NOT have canned pumpkin pie filling across the pond though.
Their reaction to pumpkin is spot on. Step 1: What is this? Step 2: Is this gross? Step 3: Do I like this? Step 4: No, I think I might like this. Step 5: Oh wow. This is actually great.
He does not realize the using real pumpkin from the field takes a lot of work. first you have to bake the pumpkin they scrape out the insides then you boil it and strain it down to something that you can turn into a custard. the you start with the eggs, flavorings.
I’ve been to Ireland and loved it over there. And guess what?…all of you collectively loved the same pies I love. The cherry and sweet potato pies can take a hike. Pecan (pronounced p’cahn in Texas, where I’m from and where most pecans come from) is by far my favorite, then it’s a toss up between pumpkin and apple pie for me. Yum!
The pecan tree is the state tree here in Texas. We consume tons of pecan pie during the holidays. Served warm with some Blue Bell vanilla ice cream and YUMMY!!
Now you know in Texas that our pecan pies aren’t always JUST pecan pies. We take a page out of our Cajun brothers and make Col. Beauregard’s Pie, a pecan pie with dark chocolate chips at the crust, with bourbon pie filling. Served hot with that Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, oh my Lord!
Pecan pie is the absolute best when it comes to Thanksgiving. Its decadence fits right into the "gorge yourself into a slumber" mode that most T-day feasts are patterned off of.
My southern ears are bleeding with all the pronunciation of Pecan it should be pee-kawn & if it isn't made with molasses then it's just a northern imitation.
😲..If anybody describes their Sweet Potato Pie experience as tasting merely like “mashed Sweet Potatoes”, they have most certainly NOT had Sweet Potato Pie!!! The implications of what’s missing is stark! 😉
why does everyone have to like sweet potato pie? i love sweet potatoes, but HATE sweet potato pie. i happen to agree with the Irish on this one. somethings shouldn't be made into piies, and sweet potatoes are one of them. it ranks up there with Pickled hogs feet on the disgusting ranking chart for me.
@@marytramp5678 you don’t have to agree with it, but saying that implies that perhaps it was made incorrectly, as the cherry pie was (by using the wrong type of cherries.) If that’s the case, it’s not really a fair trial.
@@ThunderStruck15 so if i don't like something it's simply bc it was made incorrectly? that's complete and utter bs. and point in fact sweet potato pie is mashed sweet potatoes! and baked very similiarly to pumpkin pie. i say similiarly bc there are different spices. thank GOD bc i love pumpkin pie. People like different things, not everyone's pallette is the same. it's part of what makes us all unique. it doesn't always come down to how it was prepared. i try not to judge things on how i like it the first time, i will give things a 2nd and often times a 3rd chance before i say i definitely don't like it. i can honestly say i HATE sweet potato pie. it is a pumpkin pie wanna be. and ranks right up there with pickled pigs feet. another southern delicacy i can't stand.
All these pies are great! Pumpkin is easy and quick to make, even if using cans, and even if you don't have the pie crust. Lemon meringue is really good. One of my favorite that my Grandma made was a blackberry pie. It wasn't as sweet, but it was great!
Pretty sure this whole segment would've gone different if someone's southern grandmama made these pies!! lol Especially the sweet potato pie. It's one of my favorites. Oh, can't beat a homemade blackberry cobbler(w vanilla ice-cream)either. The blackberries have to be handpicked though! 😋 Yum
Yes, they should have brought in a southern chef to make the pies for this video. However, sweet potato pie is to pumpkin pie as oatmeal raisin cookies are to chocolate chip cookies.
Yes, my mamaw made the best blackberry cobbler. She didn't use a recipe. It was just in her brain. She was a wonderful southern cook and an awesome grandmother.
@bodyrumuae2914 Any true southerner knows a sweet potato pie is made w sweet potatoes, not yams!😉 There's not a huge difference in the two, but as far as taste goes, the sweet potato is sweeter than a yam
I think my New England mother (of pilgrim descent) would be say all those pies were inedible. However even a bad cherry pie is better than a kidney pie.
Read a book published in 1918. It was an English man making a motorcycle trips across America and that alone was enough BUT he could not stop talking about the pie. "Americans have pies figured out' he stated and didn't stop summing up the day without what pie he had for supper. It was a journey for him. Just made me hungry reading it.
Pecan pies are incredible. Fresh Georgia pecans (We order them every year in early November) puts the pie on a completely different level. So much better than those dried out pecans’ grocery stores sell. It’s well worth the little added expense.
Pumpkin and sweet potato pies are both a style called custard pies - you can make a custard pie out of lots of stuff, so the varieties are almost endless. My favorite is buttermilk pie.
@@WG55 All custard pies are rich (though pumpkin and sweet potato are bland enough to mask that somewhat) - the buttermilk adds a bit of acidity which a custard made with just cream doesn't have. Probably about the same richness as a cheesecake, with a crisp, craggly top (my mother always dusted hers with nutmeg just before baking), and a little zing which you wouldn't notice unless it wasn't there.
Over the years we have reduced our Thanksgiving pies to pecan and buttermilk. Most of us don’t care for pumpkin pie. Depends on who is coming to dinner.
We have all sorts of pies: there is apple, cherry, peach, blackberry, strawberry rhubarb, lemon, key lime, pumpkin, sweet potato, turtle, chocolate, banana cream, lemon cream, coconut cream, French silk, mince meat, chess, buttermilk pie, and the list goes on and on! We love our desserts
As a cherry loving american ive never seen a blie cherry pie i deadass thought it was a blueberry pie and u cant convince me otherwise unless i can taste it.. our cherry pies are bright red and the cherries are tart and the filling is sweet
The year after I graduated from college I went down to Arkansas to visit a college buddy and play some golf for a long weekend. His Mom had us over for supper on Saturday night and served a pecan pie that was so good it about brought tears to my eyes. I can still remember it. I still rank it as one of the best 2-3 things I've ever eaten. I asked for the recipe, but there wasn't one. There are no measurements, everything is just done until it is "right". It was just amazing.
The recipe is quite simple. You just need to use the best ingredients including fresh pecans, egg yolks, real vanilla, and a butter (not Crisco or lard) crust. My Nana made bited-sized pecan tossies in little muffin pans for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
From this Arkansas girl, I can swear she used Karo syrup. Maybe light, maybe dark, maybe some of each, but it was Karo brand syrup. I'm glad your enjoyed your visit to the state.
American, here and I haaaate sweet potatoe pie (even though I like sweet potatoes) and I also haaaaate squash pie! Yuck! I encountered both of these during my first Thanksgiving in the Navy. It took me three tries to finally grab the pumpkin pie! Glad you liked most of the pies, too bad you couldnt have gitten them freshly baked. Makes all the difference
Let’s be clear: not all thanksgiving pies are dessert pies. There’s also the pie you’ll have for breakfast, the one you’ll have for lunch, and the one for halftime during the football game.
Lol, what? That's got to be a your family only thing or possibly a regional thing. Pie for breakfast? Pie for lunch? But "lunch" is dinner on thanksgiving. Also pie for halftime has to be a joke right?
I get what you're talking about, Thanksgiving is an all day thing that everyone gathers together for. you have your first big plate full of everything and then everyone grazes as the day goes by, getting your favorites as you get hungry again
I feel like I could move to Ireland, open a pie shop and clean up. We have so many great types of pie here in America. Also, FYI, those aren't the right type of cherries for our cherry pie. We use red tart cherries. That pie looks like it has a different type of cherry, so big fail on that one.
Imagine a hot Irish woman dancing on the hood of a car (like in the music vid, for those who don't know). I don't know what it is, but I really love that accent. Though one of them talks so fast I can't understand half of it lol.
For any viewer who isn't American, I just wanted to point out that pumpkin pie is usually relegated to Thanksgiving (and sometimes Christmas) but all of the others are served year round. Pumpkin harvests are seasonal (fall) ...which is why we don't tend to serve pumpkin pies during the spring or summer.
Yep! Plus pumpkins are native to the Americas (Mexico) so they are associated with what the Natives served the European settlers. Same with turkey and potatoes (again, Mexico). The first Thanksgiving included venison, game birds, fish, and corn.
I mean, you can get canned pumpkin all year. It's my husband's favorite (after sweet potato), and if I'm rolling pie crust anyway, I'll make a pumpkin or sweet potato pie.
I was gonna say... someone f'd up their sweet potato pie. I like them both but to me sweet potato is milder than pumpkin. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving anyway, I'm ½ Cherokee & ½ Irish. Thanksgiving was taught to be were the pilgrims & native Americans sat down & had a peaceful meal to celebrate their union together but in truth it was the pilgrims celebrating the slaughter of the native Americans so yea.... it's just a day of food....
@@lilbutterfly6977 My wife's family is Native as well. They just get together and eat and watch football. That Thanksgiving story school taught us is nothing but horseshit.
Great video! I'm hurt and know that some one missed up making that sweet potato pie. The sweet potatoes should be peeled, boiled, and pureed smooth (no lumps or strings). Then mixed with butter, eggs, white & brown sugar, cinnamon, can milk/cream, pie crust, and prayer to Jesus! Hands down reigns supreme over pumpkin pie any day of the week, when done correctly! I'm glad y'all liked what ever version of pecan pie y'all had.
It is heavenly when done right! This past thanksgiving I converted 11 people over from pumpkin. Now they placed their personal orders in for pies of their own lol!
Thank you. I cringe any time I hear a northerner or someone from another country calling it pee…. Lol. I can’t even bring myself to say it. Haha. In Texas, (except El Paso, but they are in a different time zone, so who cares), we call it puh-cahn.
As an Australian that was once married to a Canadian , I have to say that the pumpkin pie was the most memorable part of our marriage. Well done Canada !
Those pies looked awful. Thin sliced apples.?? Black cherries??? No lemon merang or chocolate merang ??? Those were lame pies. I know. I'm the son of an expert baker.
@@iamnotamused317 It is a Luxardo Cherry pie. Luxardo Cherries (also known as Luxardo Maraschi9no Cherries) are grown by the Luxardo Family on there farm in Italy. They have a deep dark red/purple color and are both naturally sweet and tart. Regular Maraschi9no cherries pales in comparison. You should be suspicious of the cherries commonly used in the U.S., They are bleached with added sugar to make them sweet. Luxardo cherries are much more common in European countries due to logistics. The closest thing we have in the U.S. are Bing cherries, yet we insist on using inferior cherries with Morello and Amarelle cherries making up 95% of all cherries used in the in U.S. for its pies. Luxardo cherries are so much better.
I don't blame folks for feeling a little let down once you've had that pecan pie. It's amazing stuff. For Thanksgiving, though, pumpkin is my go to every time.
Alas, hearing about Pecan (Pronounced PaKhan not PeeCan) pie is torture for me; I am allergic to pecans. They are the only nut I'm allergic to. Blisters the inside of my mouth. Sigh.
@@AyeeeItsCam Same with me, including cake and cookies with more texture! I hate all the extra chewing! I also like coconut shavings, but not in desert, like German chocolate cake.
Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are usually so similar in taste I can't tell them apart. What did they do to that sweet potato pie to get that reaction?!!! Craziness!
Aside from the cherry pie probably being some sort of berry, the caramel sea salt drizzle on the pecan pie was superfluous, thus giving a false taste note to the pecan pie. Pecan pie does NOT need anything else sweet on it. Perfect as is.
Loved this! Kindly requesting a redo with a proper tart pie cherry. There are cherries for eating fresh (rainier or bing), cocktail cherries for bars/pubs, and proper, delicious, tart pie cherries. Montmorency Cherries need a thickened (usually cornstarch or tapioca) sauce to balance the tartness and it makes this incredible sweet, tart, savory/crisp symphony of flavor. You can find pie cherries frozen here in the states off-season, but I don’t touch the jarred stuff. Mush!
In New Jersey, sweet cherries ( black) are usually ripe just before the sour cherries (red) in June. I go to a pick your own orchard and get the sour ones every year and make at least one pie and one batch of sour cherry preserves.
Beyond crushed about their reaction to sweet potato pie. I had such high hopes after seeing how much they loved the others. It's my second fave after pecan pie. I can only assume someone made it wrong, which is a possibility considering that cherry pie didn't look right either.
I agree. That one guy said why are they sweet. Uh, cuz it's SWEET POTATO. Duh. We don't make pie, we make candied or sweet potato casserole but I've never heard sweet potato pie being gross like they described.
Day old, refrigerated Granny Smith or Wolf River apple pie...peach pie...sour cream - peach pie, rhubarb pie (NO strawberries), blueberry pie, pumpkin,...ALL SO GOOD!
I think it’s safe to say that most Americans would use/expect tart red cherries, which are bright red, in a cherry pie. There’s no confusing a cherry pie with blackberry, blueberry, or mixed berry.
My sentiments exactly
Truth. And honestly the cherry pie should have been earlier in the order. You can't have cherry after the wonderment of pecan and pumpkin.
The last time the Try channel did American pies (back when they were Facts), they were given the saddest, most miserable excuse for a pumpkin pie known to human creation and, of course, it was received with universal distain. All the Americans in the comment section were rightfully livid. So while it appears their cherry pie has missed the mark, they are showing improvement.
Dunno what that was. Certainly not cherry.
In the US we use Montmorency cherries. Those are the bright red ones Americans are familiar with. In Europe, they mostly use Morello cherries, which are very dark, about the color of a typical blackberry when they're cooked. But they taste just like a regular tart cherry. So in Europe, it would be pretty easy to confuse a cherry and blackberry pie by appearance. That said, their reaction kinda indicates that they probably used a sweet cherry or black cherry, which are the same color as Morello cherries, but don't have anywhere near as much flavor, and they lose what little flavor they have when they're cooked.
I’m getting the impression that if an American went to Ireland and opened a pie shop, it would be awesome!
Yes! Especially my Grandmas pies she would be at home! 😂
Especially if you made a pie using Guinness
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
It would definitely depend on if they can bake or not. I feel like they did those people dirty with some of those pies.
@@katieegge699 I totally agree with you. Especially the cherry and sweet potato pies.
Really Irish friends, the difference between store bought and homemade is enormous
More love. ❤
So very true. You're welcome to come to my house and I will bake you all the pies.
To be fair (and argumentative! :D), I've had some really bad homemade pies, and some very good store-bought ones.
Baker’s Square had some delicious French Silk pie, Pecan and Strawberry cream pie .
@@Soapartisan875 Oh man, I miss having a local Baker's Square here! Their pies were all so good!
In 2007, I went to Ireland to see some family (I'm in US) but decided to stick around an extra week to travel around. I happened to be in Galway at a hostel on Thanksgiving day and had spent that day w 4 tourists from four other countries and 2 from other parts of Ireland. I went to Tesco and bought the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving meal and used the hostel kitchen for all of us, including the pie (apple and pumpkin). Everyone loved the pie, I even convinced 2 to try the apple pie with cheese on it! One of the best Thanksgiving. Complete strangers, from all over the world. But for one day we just enjoyed each others company, thankful for our blessings. And pie. Cannot forget to be thankful for pie.
Cheddar cheese one pie is an abomanation that shouldn't work, but absolutely does. I do wish they got these guys to try it.
As a proud pie eating American, I must say, that cherry pie looked sus.
For Uncle Sam's sake its blue
They used real cherries. You’re used to that processed goop from a can or jar.
That apple pie was atrocious, that is not hand made.
@@johnc.hammersticks I'm sure all the pies in this vid were store bought.
Cherry Pie is Red not Purple or Blue. I think they are right that it's a mixed berry.
I'm genuinely just relieved they loved pumpkin pie.
agreed its my favorite.
same!!!
I absolutely hate pumpkin and sweet potato pies, they are related species and taste nasty to me
@@donkink3114 CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 More for me 🥰🤤
Seriously. It's the most Thanksgiving pie here. Only pecan rivals pumpkin as an Autumn pie, though I much prefer pumpkin myself.
Apple and cherry are just pies.
I've never heard of sweet potato pie. Yams and fries, sure, but not pie.
I worked for a fruit distributer for two years, and I can confirm, the cherries used in that pie look to be blackjack cherries. What we Americans are used to are tart cherries that have the traditional red color. Blackjack cherries are juicey but have very little flavor so yeah the pie probably was bland.
Oooh, that's why I thought that pie looked weird lol
Okay that makes sense I was skeptical about it being cherry pie lol
Yes, sour Evans cherry pie is next level flavor.
Black cherries are nice fresh for snacking, but would make a flavorless, generically sugary pie
Always tart cherries for the pie unless you want to add 3x the sugar and pray you taste something other than the crust
I'm a 43 year old dude from Canada and I recently gave Pumpkin pie a try and I was a fan, Really good.
"we have a fuckload of pumpkins here - wake up Ireland" this made me laugh. seeing their joy eating pies was delightful.
Wonder if the pumpkins they have are carving or pie pumpkins
Lol the love of pumpkin pie and the hate for sweet potato pie. Lol I think I am part Irish some where.
I would rather have a baked golden potato then a sweet potato.
First you have to get someone to process them and put the puree in a can. Making pies from actual pie pumpkins is a real bitch!
@@valeriedemello1794 I made pumpkin pie from huge jack-o-lantern pumpkins for years. I didn't realize the small pumpkins were the pie pumpkins. But they all taste good to me!
When you realize these pies are store bought instead of made by someone's grandma, you realize they were severely shortchanged in this experience.
Must agree. After being divorced, friends would invite me to a pot bless dinner and ask me to bring a dessert, thinking I would buy a pie or cake. NOT! Brought sweet potatoe pie with whip cream and lime pie with warm cherries. The other wives were asking the hostess if I really made the pies.
I'm 71yrs old American and I don't think I've ever eaten vanilla ice cream with any pie except with hot apple pie or apple crisp (a kind of cobbler). Whoever suggested ice-cream with sounds as if they are not that familiar with American pies 1st hand. Ice-cream is just a delicious way to eat very hot party. Of course there is no accounting for taste. Keep trying them all. 6:09
@@alanphinney I don't want ice cream on any pie.
I highly recommend rhubarb-strawberry pie! Try to learn to make them yourselves, (remember it's easy as pie!)
@@shelbyseelbach9568Apple pie is the only possible pie that will pair with ice cream, but definitely stands on its own and I respect your Originalist stance, sir.
I've never seen cherry pie that looks like that! You've been duped! Cherry pie is made with sour red cherries, they're very specific and they're even called "pie cherries". They're EVERYTHING! Tart and sweet. Demand the real thing! Also, sweet potato pie is more of a southern or cultural preference. Pumpkin is the choice of the vast majority for Thanksgiving. Pecan, speaks for itself, it's amazing!
Agreed!!! That was the Saddest excuse for a cherry-pie I do believe I've ever seen...
Looking at how the color it left on the crust and ice cream was blue I'd say they had a blackberry or blueberry pie, not a cherry pie.
I’ve never seen red cherries for sale in Ireland. Just the black ones.
100 % agree. I make pies all the time and I have never made a cherry pie that is that dark. It looks more like blackberry and I bet it is blackberry.
shush
A relative once described a pumpkin pie as a "nutmeg delivery vehicle" and I have to say that's usually pretty accurate. Love it!
The cherries you have in Ireland and the UK are not the ones that we use in North America for "Cherry" Pie. Our filling is made with sharp bright red cherries; a totally different variety. Some people call them "Pin Cherries" but most are a "sour" cherry or Amarelle and particularly the Montmorency variety of Amarelle which is bright red. Cheers from Canada.
Omg sour cherry pie is SO good! We used to pick them off our own tree but then bugs ate it and we had to cut it down
You know, I noticed their standard cherries are different in Ireland when I watch one of their cocktail videos and the recipe called for a maraschino cherry and when they gave the the cocktail, the cherry was almost black. This video just confirms they've got a different regular cherry. It's not ideal but it would make sense to send them a can or two of Comstock cherry pie filling.
@@TheRisskee That's not accurate. There are maraschino cherries which are bright red, and there are Luxardo Maraschino Cherries which are the black ones. They do taste different, but both are available at most liquor/cocktail stores. A lot of bartenders will use the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries to elevate their cocktails a bit more, since not everyone is as familiar with them and because they have a much richer flavor. I agree that the cherries used in the video weren't the right kind, but the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries can be found just about anywhere....or at least in the US anyway.
That is key…SOUR cherries…tart and sweet…and 🤤
I’ll be baking one today. 😬
We have those sweet dark cherries, but dont put them in pie. We use the red tart variety. SO good!
Glad you liked the pumpkin and pecan! That cherry pie you guys ate did not look like an American cherry pie at all. 😂
I agree! Almost looked like blackberry pie.
I thought it was blueberry.
Those were bitter cherries
The purple-ish color and small fruits of that pie looked more like blueberry, to me. Was expecting the red color of the classic cherry. No photos of cherry pie look like that, at all!
Exactly! Needs to be made with canned cherry pie filling, not with real, actual cherries!! 😏 guess you wouldn't know that in Ireland though haha!
If that's a cherry pie, I'm stunned. Cherry pie is traditionally made from tart Queen Anne cherries creating a pleasant sweet-tart combination. The filling is red.
Pair cherry pie with butter pecan ice cream or pecan praline.
To me, it looked like blueberry pie, that might account for the lack of taste. Don't get me wrong, I like blueberries but they don't have a strong flavor. Cherries on the other hand are really flavorful.
It looked like blueberry, which i Love
It's a black cherry pie. It's not a red cherry pie, which is more tart.
First off, cherry pie does not look like that (at least none that I've ever had) it should have a beautiful sweet/tart mix of a taste. Secondly, I think the pecan and the sweet potato pie should have been made by a true southern. I am from Pennsylvania and can honestly say so far the best tasting is from the south. I've tasted them, I know. Northern states, I am truly sorry your's just don't cut it.
You guys are so much fun! I'm an American living in California. Pumpkin pie is what 90% of us have for dessert on Thanksgiving Day. 😁
I think sweet potato pie is more of a Southern thing. I had a slice in a BBQ shack in Texas many years ago. I still think about it. It is interesting to see which you prefer, pumpkin or sweet potato.
I have to say that the "cherry" pie you sampled looked and sounded nothing like our cherry pie. Our cherry pie is bright red and bursting with cherry flavor.
Not all are bright red. That is artificial coloring in canned cherry mix.
@@snowflakehunter But cherries aren't black, at least not cherries I put in a pie.
@@snowflakehunter Yep, the cherry pies I grew up with are red, but not crazy bright artificial red. Seriously though, cherry pies are top-notch.
@@snowflakehunter If you cook pies with real fresh red sweet cherries, the pies are red like a strawberry pie is. The darker cherries I think are the tart sour cherries grown by Michigan. When you cook your pies, don't use purchased fruit mix. Slice and dice your fruit and sprinkle a 1/4 cup of sugar over it and let it sit in the sugar to pull out the juices for an hour or more. Then dump it in your pie shell and bake.
Edit- If you want a non juicy pie add a little flour or cornstarch to thicken and gel up the juices some.
@@Skitdora2010 In all likelihood, these cherries came from the cherry capital of the world...Croatia. I say that given the proximity of it to Ireland where this video was shot. To narrow it down further I suspect the cherries came from the Luxardo Family Farms in Italy which grows a proprietary cherry that is a type of Morello cherry and is super dark red.
New life plan: Move to Ireland, open pie shop. My parents owned a bakery in my youth, my mom's pie recipes won an award from the city. I feel like I'd do well there with how excited everybody got over those pies, and I know how to make all of them.
The problem is you won't find the ingredients you need to make these pies in Ireland lol. You could truck it in but that will cost you a LOT. Which is why most of these people have never eaten these pies before.
@Bottlecapbill you don't have pumpkins or apples trees or cherries in Ireland? I imagine pecans would be expensive just like here. But surprised you're cant buy Sugar, flour, eggs, butter, cinnamon? That would all have to shipped in? Pie are very simple with few ingredients.
Free name idea: American Pie
Do iiiiit
You should watch the movie Waitress. She invents different pies. A lot of them sound scrumptious.
Out of all the pies presented, sweet potato pie can vary the most depending on how it is made. Different people use different spices to flavor it, thus the taste can widely vary. When it's made right, sweet potato pie is my favorite Thanksgiving pie.
Exactly. Some people don't know how to make a proper sweet potato pie. Especially when you are supposed to press the cooked sweet potato through a sieve to remove the fibrous threads. The spice blend and the sweetener can influence the overall character of the pie and the color. Willing to bet no molasses or brown sugar was used in that pie.
I was looking for this comment. I've come across some people who can't mentally get past a potato dessert. L Which meant more for me.
Sweet potato pie is the imposter of pumpkin pie. Just like oatmeal cookies can be an imposter of chocolate chip.
@@ThumbsMcThumb ummm, no. Sweet potato pie is a new world invention and has every reason to be present in Thanksgiving. Your idea of it being an imposter is both historically inaccurate and borderline ignorant. Say you don’t like it, fine. Say it’s an imposter to pumpkin pie, and get called out for not knowing the significance of its existence.
@@Hellboy700 sweet potato pie: looks like pumpkin pie, but is a LIE. That’s an imposter 💯
Great video, and I’m happy y’all loved the pumpkin pie! I’m a pie baker and fiddler in the US (with Irish roots), and Thanksgiving is the busiest time of year for me, so this was the perfect suggested video 😁👍👍👩🏻🍳
That cherry pie was made with those dark canned cherries that are used for some purpose that I've never been able to figure out...not what we typically use in the States. Should have been tart/sour cherries that have a wonderful complex flavor with the sugar and pastry. Also "Dutch Apple Pie" is the best version of apple pie, which has a pastry shell filled with apples and topped with a crisp and highly spiced cinnamon and ginger crumb.
My only guess for why some stores use/sell those dark cherry pies is because said cherry tree produces well and is easy to cultivate. A proper red cherry pie, while not my favorite, has tones of flavor.
Yes!!! That’s the good stuff! @Billy Todd
Absolutely with the Dutch apple pie, so delicious.
I'm in the States, and everyone I know who bakes cherry pies uses those gaodaweful canned cherries.
Crumbs that fall off and make a mess. No thanks. Give me a lattice double crust, still warm with the ice cream on top. Wafer thin is also a crime. Nice thick chunks that give you a real bite of fruit. Mix of apple varieties too. They just need to come to Texas and have someone cook for them because most of their pies looked bad.
pecan pie really doesn't need any added caramel it is so sweet
Makes me wonder if the pecan pie was made correctly because even by American standards its a very sweet pie, a caramel drizzle should be completely unnecessary.
I think that the salt in the salted caramel is what gives it the extra oomph.
@Starkey Morgan that was my thought, a proper Pecan Pie would be absurdly sweet by European standards.
It is mostly sugar in the first place, lol
@@Yukikazehalo if the caramel is just as sweet as the pecan pie then it wouldnt make a difference. It doesnt make it sweeter than it already is if both the pie and drizzle are of equal sweetness. it just adds another flavor profile.
I remember when I first moved to Scotland 16 years ago, I wondered how I would ever make a pumpkin pie. Since I couldn’t get any canned puree, I bought an actual pumpkin and made it from scratch. It was far more labour intensive than I ever imagined, but it turned out really good. I made a Thanksgiving dinner for my Scottish friends who had never had an American Thanksgiving experience. They approved.
Fun fact the stuff in the can isn't a actually a pumpkin. At least not the kind you'd use for decoration or a jack-o'-lantern. The canned stuff is A Dickinson squash. Pumpkin is a broad term so they can label it as that still.
My sister lives in Australia and would take canned pumpkin back when she came home to visit.
She once made a couple of pumpkin pies for a gathering at work. They were a huge hit to the point that 2 guys almost had a fight over the last piece.
America is a huge pie loving place. We have tons of types.
I always add a splash of bourbon in my pecan pie. And from scratch banana cream or baked coconut pies are wonderful. I love lemon chess, blueberry and peach pies too.
I like homemade pie better than cake but most store bought pies are gross. Terrible bland or overly sweet filling with disgusting crust.
My kids cried when given store bought pie for the first time. They wanted to know what was “wrong” with it.
@@DaemaroBloodmoon or hubbard squash. Some actually have real pumpkin.
@@katmandudawn8417 Agree about store bought pies.
@@katmandudawn8417 yesss you have to add the bourbon, it's the magic ingredient!
6:17 - a little bit like a cheesecake. Of course, there's also pumpkin cheesecake, which is a whole other ball game. :D
And I'm glad at least one person liked the Sweet Potato Pie. It's not one I tend to actively crave, but I do quite like it when I happen to have it. And pumpkin used to be an absolute favorite of mine... I still like it, but less than I once did. Apple, though... yum!

I live in Canada I've avoided pumpkin pies for 30 years and I was at my new in-laws and they have pumpkin pie so I tried some and I wondered why I was not eating them my whole life they are so good
Just the act of avoiding it is a sin against food. Your penance for such an act is to spend the next 30 years spreading the good news of the pumpkin pie
I love pumpkin pie and make it from real pumpkins (not canned), but I know that pumpkin pie is a bit of an acquired taste - I understand why some people don't care for it even though it's my favorite. But anybody who doesn't like a fruit pie (apple, cherry, blueberry) needs to have their heads examined!!
@@ohger1It takes about 30 seconds to acquire the taste! 🤤
I'm glad that Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving. You plan it around the harvest. It's not that hard.
Such a shame other countries seldom join in the fun.
There's no reason Ireland can't have pumpkin pie, roast turkey, etc.
Glad you had a good experience, because Pumpkin pie is easy to mess up. A lot of other pies have more room for error but pumpkin pie does not. Too much or too little of almost any ingredient and the pie is terrible, baked for too long or not long enough and the pie is terrible. It is just far too easy to mess up.
I like how the "traditional" pumkin pie slowly grew on all of them. They all had to keep taking more bites lol.
Oh, to taste pumpkin pie again for the first time. X) I loved the one lady saying she could see why we put it in lattes. Pumpkin pie is wonderful! :)

Wow, A good cherry pie needs to be made with tart cherries. I have never seen a cherry pie that looked like that one. I think it had some other berries mixed in.
I feel like they used black cherries, such a shame.
It is probably what was available at the time to make it with.
that legit looked like a Marie Callender's blackberry pie
Michigander here. You need red tart cherries from Traverse City, MI for the best cherry pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Stay away from the canned filling and make sure that all the pits are removed (Guess how I know)
I feel bad they made the cherry pie with the wrong type of cherries I’ve never seen a black cherry pie.
As a North Carolinian growing up on all of these pies homemade, I can attest to that a sweet potato pie is freaking amazing and should be sweet like that pumpkin pie. Both should be delicious, I think that one you had was not correctly made.
That what I was thinking I’m from North Carolina too
Yes I don't think they got good sweet potato & cherry pies.
I had the same thoughts. My mom makes a sweet potato custard that’s very similar to the pie without the crust. She makes a nut and brown sugar with butter crumble for the topping, similar to a Dutch apple pie.
Yep. From North Carolina. The sweet potato pie they tasted must not have come from round here.
It didn't even look right...it was too light. My family loves pumpkin pie so I mostly make that for holiday dinners but I like sweet potato pie just a bit more.
As an American, I've never actually had sweet-potato pie, so no worries there.
You guys got screwed on the cherry pie though! How is it black and not red? Legit cherry pie is delicious.
I think they used sweet cherries, like Bings. Instead of tart cherries.
The best cherries for a pie are the sour variety.
Yeah, it looked like blueberries or blackberries.
You should definitely try sweet potato pie, it's amazing when it's homemade. ❤️
These days store bought pumpkin pie has more sweet potato than pumpkin in it.
Yeag sweet potato can be all over the place in taste depending on who makes it. Cherry has to be the right kind of cherry. Mt grandmother had two cherry trees that she called "pie cherries" and they were not very good when we ate them right off the tree. I remember them being sour and a bit "tough" for lack of a better word, but they sure were good in a pie. One of the older neighbor ladies used to get some off my grandmother and make apple-cherry pie that was really good.
Then being that both my grandmothers were Pa Dutch, there was always shoofly pie
I loved to see their reaction to pecan pie, which is without a doubt the greatest pie ever created.
For the holidays, so true. I add a thin layer of chocolate chips before pouring in the filling and baking. The recipe for the filling is from my mother in law who was born and raised in Georgia, and they know pecan pies, damn it. 😉
@@travelinggypsy742oh my gosh! Thanks for the tip with the chocolate chips! I’m going to have to try it in a few weeks for Thanksgiving!
@@betsysanders4524 It's sooo good 🥰🤗
I add a third cup of brandy. Excellent.
Mm too many great choices like chess pie, cocoñut custard, Kentucky Derby mmmmm
As an American who absolutely loves pumpkin pie, it was fun watching everyone come around on it. They were all looking at it with fear in their eyes at first, but the fear quickly turned to disbelief at what their taste buds were telling them.
Pumpkin pie looks gross, but tastes amazing.
It warms my heart to see people discovering new foods that they like.
Nothing on earth would make me eat that shit
Yep, Pumpkin pie is very good. It's evil twin, sweet potato pie, is the exact opposite of good.
They should try it again served appropriately as a pumpkin-y vessel for whipped cream. The topping on the side borders on barbaric.
Sweet potatoe pie homemade and done right is awesome! It’s a dessert regional to the southern United States. It’s origin is actually political. The pumpkin pie as we know it today originated in the New England area and quickly became a thanksgiving staple. But as differences between the North and the South magnified in the mid 1800s, it became taboo to eat a Yankee pie. They switched out the pumpkin for sweet potatoes. You tell a family’s political alignments by the dessert they served.
I think they screwed up the sweet potato and the cherry pie.
Interesting! Yup, I’m a Yankee and totally unfamiliar with sweet potato pie. Although for part of my Thanksgiving dinner, I do make a fine sweet potato casserole, topped with a pecan/butter/brown sugar mix and flavored with vanilla and bourbon. Yum.
. Yum!! Me too!!
I prefer sweet potato pie to pumpkin pie. Almost every pumpkin pie I've had has too much cinnamon added to give it taste. Give me a good sweet potato pie any day. That said, pecan pie is the king of them all!
I grew up in the south and never even heard of sweet potatoe pie.
Now do a Pumpkin Chiffon (whip the pumpkin filling with meringue). Ten thousand times better than a regular pumpkin pie.
Aww…nobody’s old enough to give props to that young man’s rendition of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie!” 🤘🏼

You guys need a cherry pie made from Oregon tart cherries, like montmorency, balanced with sugar, a buttery flakey crust, and whipped cream. It's perfect.
That sounds amazing!
@@susanflanagan8010 it is!
My grandma used to make great Apple/cherry pies and the apple was the green ones and the cherries came from the wild black cherry tree in her back yard! 🤤
I want Irish people to come over for Thanksgiving. Y’all are adorable. Come on over.
I live in Minnesota and I have never even seen a black cherry pie. But a tart red cherry pie made by some that knows how to bake is FABULOUS! Tart red cherries usually ripen around the 1st week of July. I would pick the cherries from my Mom's cherry tree and she would bake FABULOUS cherry pies! Except for the year that 5 baby raccoons climbed into the tree and ate EVERY CHERRY!
On Monday my pear tree will be full of pears about a week away from ripe, then come Wednesday the critters will have stripped the tree clean.
My yard backs up to a RR right of way, the over growth that hides the tracks and trains does quiet things some, but is also makes for a great home for a wide variety of critters.

I'm with you guys!! I LOVE pumpkin pie but I am not a fan of sweet potato pie. So many people say they taste the same but I definitely don't think they do, nor is the texture similar.
Every Thanksgiving, my family gives me a whole pumpkin pie, just for me only.
And I eat it by myself.
PROUDLY.
Will your family adopt me? lol
Well done sir.
😂
Haha, I do the same. The lone pumpkin and sweet potato lover in my family.
My mom always makes one just for me too 😊
You’ve misrepresented a cherry pie, we do it better than whatever that was. We love pie here 😊 great shoot
I honestly thought that was a blueberry pie when they brought it out. 😂
I also thought it was a blueberry pie! They also misrepresented sweet potato pie. It's a southern dish and it's amazing if made right. I have a feeling they just mashed up sweet potatoes and put it in a pie shell by their reactions. 😆
True! I think someone in Ireland made the lies from a recipe & substituted BLACK cherries. A for effort, D- for execution...I've NEVER met anyone who would make that mistake.
By the way @TheTryChannel, there are at least 4 DOZEN very different pies y'all could/should try.... and none of those stores bought pies! The pumpkin pie should've been 50% thicker & the apple pie needed big chunks of apples, plus Lemon Meringue, REAL cherry pie, plus 4 different kinds of chocolate pie, etc., etc.
Thanksgiving is a flop unless the most, uptight, snooty, self-loving fashionista loosens his/her belt & the top snap/button of their pants, stating, "I'll never eat that much again as long as I live....but I plan to try NEXT Thanksgiving!"
I was thinking the same thing about the sweet potato pie. It has almost the same spices as the pumpkin pie so I was confused by their reaction to it.
@@marinapappas5073 Me too. I make a mean sweet potato pie, and in my opinion, much better than pumpkin pie.
As a Northerner, I am so glad that my first sweet potato pie was made by a Southerner. Sweet, flavorful, and perfect. I feel for these Try-ers. :(
I always wonder if they were store bought, or did someone actually make them from scratch? Especially the pie crusts.
That's what I said. Someone didn't handle the sweet potato pie the way they were supposed to.
As a Northerner, I've never had sweet potato pie. Pumpkin is my fave...no need to branch out. I've probably only had pecan pie once in my life as well.
@@phazesix oh bro you GOTTA try a good ole southern sweet potato pie, i promise it’ll open your third eye and change ya life
As an American of German and African ancestry, I love the Irish people… Since we have the same sense of humor!! You guys put the spark into any party!!
my mom makes pumpkin pie and the crust is crushed ginger snaps, it’s amazing
Oooh that sounds fantastic
That sounds delicious 😋
My favorite pie just got better!!!!
I need the recipe!!!!
I will try this. Sounds yum. We make a pumpkin pie about every 3 weeks (tons of frozen pumpkin from my sister's garden).
The thing about cherry pies is that they’re more of a summer pie than a fall pie, because cherries are in season during the summer.
I like cherry pie no matter the time or day
Agreed. I mean part of the things we eat on Thanksgiving is that its from the Harvest. The apples are perfect at this particular time of year, and so are the pumpkins and sweet potatoes.
Best thing about the pecan pie is how healthy it is. All 15,000 calories of it.
I see you like the lighter version.
That's per slice, of course!
Calories don’t count on thanksgiving everyone knows that 😂
Too bad they didn't try some peach cobbler
But..but... Mom said the calories were removed!

Being from Iowa, I've had all of these pies, many MANY times. But, I've never seen a cherry pie that looks like that. I wouldn't call that a cherry pie.
Canned cherry pie goo found in all grocery stores.
@@alwaysopen7970 EXACTLY!!! The American way!
I agree it's a Scary Pie.
Maybe they used sweet cherries instead?
a Hostess brand cherry pie looks and tastes better than what they were eating
Honestly I think of cherry pie as more of a Christmastime thing. Also that cherry pie looked bizarre, like it was from an alternate dimension's America.
Our cherry pie filling is like neon red, like you could flag down a truck with it.
This is so true, but the way it was stated literally made me bust out laughing 😂
But seriously, that’s not a cherry pie lol
Cherry pie to me is March/April or late summer 🥧. I love their reactions!
YES I literally just made home made cherry pie the other day. Seriously what did they DO to that cherry pie.
The Rick of pies.
To be so dark they had to make that out of Bing sweet cherries in stead of pie cherries that are tart.
You guys need to try Peach Cobbler baked in a cast iron dutch oven over a campfire. That's that Boy Scout campout cadillac desert.
Nothing better!
This man has told no lies.
Spot on!
A good wild blackberry cobbler is to die for as well, but a steaming hot cobbler blackberry or peach, truly can NOT be beat. My grans made sinfully delicious cobblers. Us kids would go out and harvest blackberries, peaches and apricots just so she'd make us cobblers. I miss my grans. God took her to cook cobblers for him.
My dad made that all the time on camping trips. A well as our Boy Scout trips. I agree, top tier dessert.
My mom loved to use Cortland apples for her pies.
The pumpkin looked overbaked to the point of being burnt, and the cherry was the darkest cherry pie I've seen in my life. Glad you all liked em - pumpkin is super easy to make by the way.
Pumpkin is only easy to make if you can find it in a can though. My mom used to make it from scratch with real pumpkins and it is NOT easy to make. They do NOT have canned pumpkin pie filling across the pond though.
That couldn't have been a cherry pie. It was either blueberry, mixed fruit, or rotten cherry.
@@sidneyvandykeii3169 Likely because canned pumpkin doesn't even use the same thing that everyone pictures when they hear the word "pumpkin".
@@RealRaynedance canned Pumpkin is mostly canned squash if I remember correctly. With the proper spices in it.
@@sidneyvandykeii3169Usually Dickinson squash, yeah. Which has a LOT less water in it and a lot stronger of a flavor.
Their reaction to pumpkin is spot on.
Step 1: What is this?
Step 2: Is this gross?
Step 3: Do I like this?
Step 4: No, I think I might like this.
Step 5: Oh wow. This is actually great.
I really don't like clove, so I'd done after step 2.

😂
Ha! I love when he says "we have a feckload of pumpkins here. Wake up Ireland!" 😆
He does not realize the using real pumpkin from the field takes a lot of work. first you have to bake the pumpkin they scrape out the insides then you boil it and strain it down to something that you can turn into a custard. the you start with the eggs, flavorings.
@@janetyoung6097
I'm sure someone could can it industrially.
Pumpkin pies are rarely made from pumpkin; people use the canned pumpkin, which is actually squash.
@@kurtjohnson3917 i use the Libby's pure pumpkin puree'
Crap... I need to go to Ireland and sell Pumpkin Pies and become a Millionaire.... Of course, Ireland is a FASCIST State now, so crap... :(
I’ve been to Ireland and loved it over there. And guess what?…all of you collectively loved the same pies I love. The cherry and sweet potato pies can take a hike. Pecan (pronounced p’cahn in Texas, where I’m from and where most pecans come from) is by far my favorite, then it’s a toss up between pumpkin and apple pie for me. Yum!
The pecan tree is the state tree here in Texas. We consume tons of pecan pie during the holidays. Served warm with some Blue Bell vanilla ice cream and YUMMY!!
Now you know in Texas that our pecan pies aren’t always JUST pecan pies. We take a page out of our Cajun brothers and make Col. Beauregard’s Pie, a pecan pie with dark chocolate chips at the crust, with bourbon pie filling. Served hot with that Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, oh my Lord!
And if anybody asks for "pee can", we show them the toilet.
Blue Bell Ice and Mrs Bards bread.
@@Darth_Conans Only a Yankee says "pee-can pie."
Yea, I don't know if these were warm. They all could be IMO.
Pecan pie is the absolute best when it comes to Thanksgiving. Its decadence fits right into the "gorge yourself into a slumber" mode that most T-day feasts are patterned off of.
I love pecan pie, but this is the first time I've seen it with salted caramel on it.
Best part of winter = pecan pie!!!
Is the best pie ever
@@WG55 It's rare, at least I don't see it often. It is damn good though, but I still prefer the plain one.
My southern ears are bleeding with all the pronunciation of Pecan it should be pee-kawn & if it isn't made with molasses then it's just a northern imitation.
😲..If anybody describes their Sweet Potato Pie experience as tasting merely like “mashed Sweet Potatoes”, they have most certainly NOT had Sweet Potato Pie!!! The implications of what’s missing is stark! 😉
I am borderline offended at their reaction to Sweet Potato Pie
why does everyone have to like sweet potato pie? i love sweet potatoes, but HATE sweet potato pie. i happen to agree with the Irish on this one. somethings shouldn't be made into piies, and sweet potatoes are one of them. it ranks up there with Pickled hogs feet on the disgusting ranking chart for me.
@@marytramp5678 you don’t have to agree with it, but saying that implies that perhaps it was made incorrectly, as the cherry pie was (by using the wrong type of cherries.) If that’s the case, it’s not really a fair trial.
@@ThunderStruck15 so if i don't like something it's simply bc it was made incorrectly? that's complete and utter bs. and point in fact sweet potato pie is mashed sweet potatoes! and baked very similiarly to pumpkin pie. i say similiarly bc there are different spices. thank GOD bc i love pumpkin pie. People like different things, not everyone's pallette is the same. it's part of what makes us all unique. it doesn't always come down to how it was prepared. i try not to judge things on how i like it the first time, i will give things a 2nd and often times a 3rd chance before i say i definitely don't like it. i can honestly say i HATE sweet potato pie. it is a pumpkin pie wanna be. and ranks right up there with pickled pigs feet. another southern delicacy i can't stand.
@@mattbrew11 wth is a "dark American"?
All these pies are great! Pumpkin is easy and quick to make, even if using cans, and even if you don't have the pie crust. Lemon meringue is really good. One of my favorite that my Grandma made was a blackberry pie. It wasn't as sweet, but it was great!
Apple, pecan, and pumpkin are the ones I’ve seen the most for Thanksgiving
True. I don't consider cherry pie that associated with Thanksgiving. In the South, sweet potato is though.
Cherry is more of a summer pie. So would blueberry and rubarb
I've also never seen a sweet potato pie with carrots... It's pretty similar to a pumpkin pie... I dunno.
@@gaymer07 the color of that cherry was completely wrong
@@BTinSF I agree, cherry is not a harvest/Thanksgiving season pie.
Pretty sure this whole segment would've gone different if someone's southern grandmama made these pies!! lol Especially the sweet potato pie. It's one of my favorites. Oh, can't beat a homemade blackberry cobbler(w vanilla ice-cream)either. The blackberries have to be handpicked though! 😋 Yum
Yes, they should have brought in a southern chef to make the pies for this video.
However, sweet potato pie is to pumpkin pie as oatmeal raisin cookies are to chocolate chip cookies.
Does she make sweet potato pie with sweet potatoes or with yams because many people don't know the differences?
Yes, my mamaw made the best blackberry cobbler. She didn't use a recipe. It was just in her brain. She was a wonderful southern cook and an awesome grandmother.
@bodyrumuae2914 Any true southerner knows a sweet potato pie is made w sweet potatoes, not yams!😉 There's not a huge difference in the two, but as far as taste goes, the sweet potato is sweeter than a yam
I think my New England mother (of pilgrim descent) would be say all those pies were inedible. However even a bad cherry pie is better than a kidney pie.
My dad immigrated to the US in the 1950's. He says the best thing in America is pie, and that he hasn't met a pie he doesn't like!
Make him a vinegar pie, he'll meet his match
Read a book published in 1918. It was an English man making a motorcycle trips across America and that alone was enough BUT he could not stop talking about the pie. "Americans have pies figured out' he stated and didn't stop summing up the day without what pie he had for supper. It was a journey for him. Just made me hungry reading it.
He's not wrong
Like Glen Powell said, “All pie is good pie”
Biggest difference between American apple pie and European is the apples. We use Granny Smiths in the states and they use sweet apples.
Pecan pies are incredible. Fresh Georgia pecans (We order them every year in early November) puts the pie on a completely different level. So much better than those dried out pecans’ grocery stores sell. It’s well worth the little added expense.
Pumpkin and sweet potato pies are both a style called custard pies - you can make a custard pie out of lots of stuff, so the varieties are almost endless. My favorite is buttermilk pie.
Buttermilk pie? Yikes. I've never heard of that one. It sounds a bit rich.
I'm pretty big on Sugar (Creme) pie.
@@WG55 All custard pies are rich (though pumpkin and sweet potato are bland enough to mask that somewhat) - the buttermilk adds a bit of acidity which a custard made with just cream doesn't have. Probably about the same richness as a cheesecake, with a crisp, craggly top (my mother always dusted hers with nutmeg just before baking), and a little zing which you wouldn't notice unless it wasn't there.
Over the years we have reduced our Thanksgiving pies to pecan and buttermilk. Most of us don’t care for pumpkin pie. Depends on who is coming to dinner.
Coconut Custard pie....
We have all sorts of pies: there is apple, cherry, peach, blackberry, strawberry rhubarb, lemon, key lime, pumpkin, sweet potato, turtle, chocolate, banana cream, lemon cream, coconut cream, French silk, mince meat, chess, buttermilk pie, and the list goes on and on! We love our desserts
Mississippi mud pie, shoofly pie, blackbottom pie....
Sour cream blueberry‼️
My mom used to make a butterscotch pie, with meringue on top and drizzled with honey. That was so good.
You forgot Raisin Pie.
let's not forget Dutch apple and French apple.
As a cherry loving american ive never seen a blie cherry pie i deadass thought it was a blueberry pie and u cant convince me otherwise unless i can taste it.. our cherry pies are bright red and the cherries are tart and the filling is sweet
Whoever made that cherry pie, done fucked-up.
I was thinking the same exact thing. That does NOT look like a Cherry Pie.
I'm guessing they were bing cherries.
And not morello..
I was thinking it looked like Black Cherries.
Whoever made that did it wrong. That's not what a real American cherry pie looks like. I thought it was blackberries.
Your love for the pecan pie echoes my own
You all should do a part 2 with key lime pie, chess pie, lemon meringue pie, blueberry, blackberry and peach. They're yummy!
Yes! Definitely a part 2 👍
Definitely a key lime.
Pies are so underrated. Bring it all. Add banana creme pie and chocolate crème pie.
*coconut cream pie
You don't see chess pie much at least not where I live on the west coast, but the ones I've had were great. Love it.
The year after I graduated from college I went down to Arkansas to visit a college buddy and play some golf for a long weekend. His Mom had us over for supper on Saturday night and served a pecan pie that was so good it about brought tears to my eyes. I can still remember it. I still rank it as one of the best 2-3 things I've ever eaten. I asked for the recipe, but there wasn't one. There are no measurements, everything is just done until it is "right". It was just amazing.
The recipe is quite simple. You just need to use the best ingredients including fresh pecans, egg yolks, real vanilla, and a butter (not Crisco or lard) crust. My Nana made bited-sized pecan tossies in little muffin pans for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
From this Arkansas girl, I can swear she used Karo syrup. Maybe light, maybe dark, maybe some of each, but it was Karo brand syrup. I'm glad your enjoyed your visit to the state.
“This tastes like Halloween” 😂😂 The pecan pie is honestly what I live for during the autumn. I even have some trees in my yard.
Faxx 😂😂 I go pick them up and crack them
I live in the northwest of America and it is the pie I wait to eat for the holidays. Thank goodness my granny taught me how to bake!
American, here and I haaaate sweet potatoe pie (even though I like sweet potatoes) and I also haaaaate squash pie! Yuck!
I encountered both of these during my first Thanksgiving in the Navy. It took me three tries to finally grab the pumpkin pie!
Glad you liked most of the pies, too bad you couldnt have gitten them freshly baked. Makes all the difference
So sad about the sweet potato pie. 😢 They need someone’s southern grandma to make this for them. I DEMAND A REDO!!!!
My Southern granddaddy made better sweet potato pies than my Southern grandma. Don’t count the men out. 😂
I agree totally.
Meh. It's a ever so slightly different pumpkin pie and pumpkin is so much easier to find.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet Sweet potato pie is so much better!
Yep, I can guarantee that sweet potato pie wasn't prepared properly. Sweet potato is miles ahead of pumpkin pie, IMHO. 😋
Let’s be clear: not all thanksgiving pies are dessert pies. There’s also the pie you’ll have for breakfast, the one you’ll have for lunch, and the one for halftime during the football game.
Lol, what? That's got to be a your family only thing or possibly a regional thing. Pie for breakfast? Pie for lunch? But "lunch" is dinner on thanksgiving. Also pie for halftime has to be a joke right?
@@lth5015 agreed. Halftime is for wings, possibly nachos depending on preference
@@lth5015 Yeah I've never had Thanksgiving pie for anything but dessert.
I get what you're talking about, Thanksgiving is an all day thing that everyone gathers together for. you have your first big plate full of everything and then everyone grazes as the day goes by, getting your favorites as you get hungry again
Hell yeah...pumpkin pie is awesome for breakfast. It's because it's better chilled.. For desert? Apple pie (hot) with FROZEN ice cream.
I feel like I could move to Ireland, open a pie shop and clean up. We have so many great types of pie here in America. Also, FYI, those aren't the right type of cherries for our cherry pie. We use red tart cherries. That pie looks like it has a different type of cherry, so big fail on that one.
Here's a name for your new venture...
Try, Try, this American Pie!
You could sell it in a store called Hanksgiving because that’s how they were pronouncing it.
This what in Central Pennsylvania is called sour cherry pie. We get our sour cherry from the Amish
Maybe they used bing cherries? That wouldn't work.
Hearing an Irish rendition of Warrant's Cherry Pie made my day, and dare I say brought a tear to my eye.
Imagine a hot Irish woman dancing on the hood of a car (like in the music vid, for those who don't know). I don't know what it is, but I really love that accent. Though one of them talks so fast I can't understand half of it lol.
He did a great job on that.
Brought a tear to my pie! 😂
For any viewer who isn't American, I just wanted to point out that pumpkin pie is usually relegated to Thanksgiving (and sometimes Christmas) but all of the others are served year round. Pumpkin harvests are seasonal (fall) ...which is why we don't tend to serve pumpkin pies during the spring or summer.
Yep! Plus pumpkins are native to the Americas (Mexico) so they are associated with what the Natives served the European settlers. Same with turkey and potatoes (again, Mexico). The first Thanksgiving included venison, game birds, fish, and corn.
I mean, you can get canned pumpkin all year. It's my husband's favorite (after sweet potato), and if I'm rolling pie crust anyway, I'll make a pumpkin or sweet potato pie.
I did not see any pecan pie other that around Thanksgiving or Xmas.
@@gaellegoutain1286 pecan pie is usually found year round in the southern US.
@@peacefullyme848 Never seen them other than during the holidays :(
Callyann's face when she didn't know what the pecan pie was priceless, confused and betrayed loved it
Not everyone knows how to make a sweet potato pie. Sounds like they got a bad one. They need to try one of mine. 😉😂
They sounded like it was regular potatoes with sugar 😂
I was gonna say... someone f'd up their sweet potato pie. I like them both but to me sweet potato is milder than pumpkin. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving anyway, I'm ½ Cherokee & ½ Irish. Thanksgiving was taught to be were the pilgrims & native Americans sat down & had a peaceful meal to celebrate their union together but in truth it was the pilgrims celebrating the slaughter of the native Americans so yea.... it's just a day of food....
@@lilbutterfly6977 My wife's family is Native as well. They just get together and eat and watch football. That Thanksgiving story school taught us is nothing but horseshit.
I volunteer as tribute...
I will only eat a sweet potato pie if my aunt makes it. That was the one request I had every year.
Missed opportunity to have them try chocolate cream pie, peanut butter pie, and lemon meringue pie.
Great video!
I'm hurt and know that some one missed up making that sweet potato pie.
The sweet potatoes should be peeled, boiled, and pureed smooth (no lumps or strings). Then mixed with butter, eggs, white & brown sugar, cinnamon, can milk/cream, pie crust, and prayer to Jesus! Hands down reigns supreme over pumpkin pie any day of the week, when done correctly!
I'm glad y'all liked what ever version of pecan pie y'all had.
I'm reading this and thinking "Please stop, now!" cuz reading this is making me hungry.
It is heavenly when done right! This past thanksgiving I converted 11 people over from pumpkin. Now they placed their personal orders in for pies of their own lol!
Don't forget the vanilla and lemon extract.
Need a good sweet potato pie that usually is very cinnamony
You took the words right out of my stomach and mouth! They did Sweet Potato Dirty. My dad also puts Nutmeg in his pie.
Y’all need a part two video. May I humbly suggest coconut cream pie and key lime pie. This are my favorite!
Coconut cream pie 🤤🤤🤤

As an Australian that was once married to a Canadian , I have to say that the pumpkin pie was the most memorable part of our marriage. Well done Canada !
Awww, pie diplomacy. Americans are like “come over for pie anytime, guys!”

Same here. I knew it was going to be true love but it was so fun to watch.

i think someone used black cherries to make that. explains why that was a horrible pie.
Those pies looked awful. Thin sliced apples.?? Black cherries??? No lemon merang or chocolate merang ??? Those were lame pies. I know. I'm the son of an expert baker.
It is a Luxardo cherry pie. The original maraschino cherry. ruclips.net/video/ZB7U3nqoWX4/видео.html
Yeah, looks a bit suspicious to me.
@@iamnotamused317 It is a Luxardo Cherry pie. Luxardo Cherries (also known as Luxardo Maraschi9no Cherries) are grown by the Luxardo Family on there farm in Italy. They have a deep dark red/purple color and are both naturally sweet and tart. Regular Maraschi9no cherries pales in comparison. You should be suspicious of the cherries commonly used in the U.S., They are bleached with added sugar to make them sweet.
Luxardo cherries are much more common in European countries due to logistics.
The closest thing we have in the U.S. are Bing cherries, yet we insist on using inferior cherries with Morello and Amarelle cherries making up 95% of all cherries used in the in U.S. for its pies. Luxardo cherries are so much better.
There should have been Banana Creme Pie, Coconut Custard Pie, Chocolate Pudding Pie, Dutch Apple Pie, and I'm sure a few others. We need a part 2!
How about a homemade Boston Cream Pie?
KEY LIME!!
There should be a part 2 where they have Americans baking & serving the pies to everyone. I would watch that. 🙌

Sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are usually so similar in taste I can't tell them apart. What did they do to that sweet potato pie to get that reaction?!!! Craziness!
Aside from the cherry pie probably being some sort of berry, the caramel sea salt drizzle on the pecan pie was superfluous, thus giving a false taste note to the pecan pie. Pecan pie does NOT need anything else sweet on it. Perfect as is.
OMG! Agreed!
Salt enhances flavor, I liked the drizzle idea. Sweet/salt is a classic.
Also doesn't need ice cream.
100 % Agree...you cannot improve on perfection!
The salt balances everything.
Loved this! Kindly requesting a redo with a proper tart pie cherry. There are cherries for eating fresh (rainier or bing), cocktail cherries for bars/pubs, and proper, delicious, tart pie cherries. Montmorency Cherries need a thickened (usually cornstarch or tapioca) sauce to balance the tartness and it makes this incredible sweet, tart, savory/crisp symphony of flavor. You can find pie cherries frozen here in the states off-season, but I don’t touch the jarred stuff. Mush!
In New Jersey, sweet cherries ( black) are usually ripe just before the sour cherries (red) in June. I go to a pick your own orchard and get the sour ones every year and make at least one pie and one batch of sour cherry preserves.
Beyond crushed about their reaction to sweet potato pie. I had such high hopes after seeing how much they loved the others. It's my second fave after pecan pie. I can only assume someone made it wrong, which is a possibility considering that cherry pie didn't look right either.
Sweet Potatoes are disgusting, can't imagine anyone mentally ill enough to make a pie of it... just wrong
A sweet potato pie should have the consistency and flavor of a pumpkin pie!!! The cherries should have been bing and raineer!!!
