Old Maine treat, string pie.

No doubt you've noticed when disrobing a banana that there are slender banana strings down the side. Don't toss them. Depending on how often a banana is eaten, the average person will accumulate enough strings to make a pie after about 40 years.

Worth waiting for though. Yum.

Good thread idea Howard - and I'm with you on the hot apple pie.

Tonight, for dessert, we'll be having this beauty - a simple yellow cake with chocolate frosting that my girlfriend baked:

Did you have whipped cream on top?

We did not - it didn't need the kick, it was simple and perfect.

Sometimes I like whipped cream on top.

That ain't a dessert.

Heck it ain't! Port is sweet and blends beautifully with the salty umami of the Gorgonzola. Don't knock it 'til you try it. You put cheddar on apple pie, don't you?

I think cheddar on apple pie is a wonderful combo, but you'd be surprised at how many people are mystified by the combo. Mind you, these are the same people who love the idea of a fried chicken and waffle "mash up" though it's been a staple in some communities for decades.

I had about all my stomach and liver could handle in Burgundy.

Fried chicken and waffles are wonderful, though I prefer putting chicken gravy on the waffle instead of the usual maple syrup.

^^
Now that's the way a person should eat 'chicken and waffles.' Also the chunks of baked chicken should be mixed in with the gravy! Yum.

Cheddar on apple pie is, IMHO, a classic.

No frankly I've never in my lifetime put cheddar on apple pie, I've always topped it with whipped cream.

I understand the sweet and saltiness combo but to me I've never had it together for dessert.

One of the best! And if you make it with coconut sugar, I can eat it.
