Pumpkin Pie Wars

It is inevitable, every Fall the pumpkin pie war takes up right where it let off the year before.

First, pumpkin pie appears on Frisch's menu, and the photographer can't wait to eat there (giving up his normal Waffle House fare) so he can savor the pie he has been waiting a year for.

 Then, pumpkins appear in the grocery stores and farmer's markets, making the artist want to put on her apron and start cooking her pumpkin pie from scratch. 

The trouble begins when they discuss the finer points of what makes up a good pumpkin pie.  The artist doesn't like cloves, allspice, or pumpkin pie spice. She maintains her pie tastes more "pumpkin-y" without them.  The photographer insists that without all the right spices the pie doesn't taste like a pumpkin pie should taste.

The funny thing is, he'll eat her pie if it is in front of him.  He doesn't like it, but he'll it it.  He is kinda like a dog that way.  I'll eat just about anything in front of me too.

You can find information about Frisch's pies here and here.  Of course they don't give out any secrets but you can always go to Frisch's and do your own taste test.
