The Great Pie Poll #1

[timepiececlock]

[Poll #171235]

I ask this because I was at fictionalley.org (HP fan forum) and someone said "I still don't understand why the H/Hr ship is called the HMS Pumpkin Pie when Pumpkin Pie doesn't even exist."

TRAVESTY!

Imagine a life without pumpkin pie.

My conclusion: Maybe she's European. Lots of European HP fans.

And so you have the poll. Unfortunately I can't see the results until I vote, so I'm going to pick the last one just for fun.

I only know about pumpkin pie because it's a tradition. It was something I learned in school when taught about Thanksgiving, picked up on TV or in books. However, it's hardly a common dish over here. I've tasted it once and didn't like it.
And yes, I did find it very weird at first. A pumpkin desert? Headshake, followed by a slightly mocking "Americans".
Being young and stupid makes for amusing memories.

You guys get taught about our Thanksgiving? That seems kinda weird to me. I didn't even know what Bastille Day was until 10th grade.

Ah, that's too bad. I love it, especially with whipped cream. It's very sweet with loads of sugar, but kinda spicy too.

Definite culture break then-- I've had it since I was a kid so it seems normal to me. Like a fruit pie... well, with a vegetable. It's actually the only way I normally would eat pumpkin. In fact, the only other thing I've had pumpkin in was pumpkin bread/muffins. Which were alright.
