So, I'm part of this karaoke league. In an effort to promote a dance party atmosphere, I am giving away a free slice of pie next week to anyone who dances in front of the stage for a whole song.

Pop quiz, hotshot: What are the 4* types of pies that would be most likely to make you consider shaking your ass in order to get a free slice?










*FOUR!

Cheesecake has two extra bonuses: it's solid enough that you can just hand out slices on a napkin or paper plate and people can eat with their hands, and you can make cheesecake puns at the gals in tight pants.

WTF is wrong with all you people!?!?!?!?

What is all this shit

PIES ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE MEAT IN THEM PEOPLE!!!!

If there is no meat in them - it's not a pie. It is just a big, homosexual lump of pastry?

So - the 4 pies you should have are:
steak
steak and mushroom
steak and bacon
curry

AND DON'T SKIMP ON THE TOMMY SAUCE

And pies are eaten whole. You can't slice them - the meat will dribble out and burn your fingers.

(and if Sausage Boy is there - I don't wan't to hear anything about that disgusting Adelaidian mushy peas crap)

Oh yeah! I do like a savory pie too -- in addition to my homosexual pastry proclivities.

One of our pubs makes a delicious steak and kidney... but I don't think that'd be a popular option amongst your crowd.

I do occasionally make these savory tart-like thingies that are filled with curried vegetables, mostly of the "root" variety. Those are always a hit. You could easily convert them to a meaty treat.

Who wants to eat kidneys? The fact that they are involved in making urine means I don't wanna eat them.

I can't eat milk anymore so I would not engage in any cream pies (or cheesecake). Let's say pecan, lemon meringue, cherry, and either apple with crumby topping or strawberry rhubarb.

I love a steak and kidney pie!

As Mr Joyce says:

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod's roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.
- Ulysses (1922) p. 53

In that case, what are your 4 favorite homosexual lumps of pastry? No one is going to want to dance for a free meat pie that must be eaten whole.

What! Are you completely insane!!

Of course people will dance for a free meat pie.

People will do anything for a free meat pie.

Apparently proper pies are available in the USA. Get some of them and people will boogalooing and whatoosiing like mad things.

I have a song I wrote may years ago called "Meat Pie". But I still think of pie as the homo kind. Faves:
Blueberry
Lemon Meringue
Rum Chiffon (talk about homo sounding- but floats off your fork!)
Banana Cream

Better than it sounds pie my mom makes: cranberry raisin

P.S. - I have nothing against "homos", and/or their pies. :)

John, wouldn't a meat pie be the same as a fucked up slice of pie after your first bite, therefore letting the meat juices run down your fingers?
........yeah, now what boomerang boy? :P

Also, I want to try a scoop of the mashed peas and gravy on a meat pie. I don't like peas in particular, but it really looked good on food travels on FoodTv.

Not if you eat it properly.
Here are the instructions for how to eat a pie. There is a test at the end of it.

The world's best pie is this one - from the Darby St Pie Shop, near Bar Beach, Newcastle NSW.

I normally like to think I'm above this sort of thing, but that has to go in a signature! Too bad the part about "with cool whip" won't fit.
