I like roast turkey with sage dressing and cranberry sauce (at
least until the third day of leftovers), but the part of Thanksgiving dinner I
look forward to most has always been the slice of pastry that comes afterward. I’ve
been charged with supplying dessert for the big day, and I want to bring two or three different pies. The question is: which ones? Apple is and always has been the
hands-down favorite. But the rest look like a list of republican presidential
candidates: a lot of variety without a clear front runner. I think the second
pie should be pumpkin. It is, after all, the season of all things pumpkin
spice. If I make a third pie, what should it be? Chocolate or banana cream? Strawberry
rhubarb or coconut custard? Blueberry or cherry? Mincemeat or lemon meringue? My
personal favorite’s pecan, but I suspect I’d end up eating it by myself. Hang
on. Maybe that’s not such a bad idea after all.
