Chocolate cream is my favorite. But I have a friend who makes an awesome lemon meringue. The lemon part is tremendously tart while the meringue is extremely sweet. The combination in every bite is fantastic.

It is true the rubes are found most everywhere.
I am, however, cultured.
I get it from my French yoghurt.  :D

Camembert and Chicken or Curried Scallops, from Zep's in Campbelltown, conveniently half way between Launceston and Hobart.  Just about the right time for a snack. ;D
Also a Deep Fried Mars Bar from the Giant Cookie Shack.

Talk about total food porn! >:-)

Well my mom never had access to a lot of herbs and the kinds of ingredients we get now. Or the internet. But she did sweets much better than I do. I don't bake anything. I used to bake quick breads (i.e. banana bread) but the high altitude has me so confused I don't bother anymore.


Pies-- Key Lime. It has to be in Key West though.

Rhubarb is my favorite, I think. Though I do like pumpkin pie and pecan pie quite a lot, too.

Oh. Would Boston Cream Pie count, or is it too cake-like? :P

Mmmm.  Key Lime Pie
I didn't think much of Key Lime 10 years ago when they served it with the neon-green filler at the restaurants at the time.  I didn't until I went to Key West.  That had a yellowish-custard color and the taste was light years away from the mainland restaurant offerings.  When I went back home and a waitress asked me if I wanted Key Lime pie, I said "No, I had the real thing"!

  Me and a cousin joked "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pi" and we drew a large pi symbol and then tried to draw 24 blackbirds within.

Food colorings are added to products like Key Lime Pie because of perceived consumer preferences.  A home-made Key Lime Pie is exactly as you describe.
