I heard on the radio this morning this bill has passed. But I didn't see an updated news link offhand. I figured this was both politics AND news, so here goes.

And I DO Love my PIE long time. But I prefer cherry pie. Because the pecans can be a bit hard and lumpy sometimes. And don't get me started on the whipped topping...

Seriously, though, did we really need a state pie? I can think of like a hundred more important things they should be more worried about.


Ahhh, here's something else.... the official wording on the bill.

Bing cherry pie is my all-time favorite.. and apple pie, if it's made with a mix of Granny Smith and Mcintosh apples.

Lemon meringue is also in the top 5.

So is it pronounced "pee can" or "pee caan" or "pecaan"

Yes.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Yes.

That's what I thought.

 

[PingSpike]

I love pecan pie but I prefer smaller pecans be used.

Can i vote for a maple/bacon/pecan bar to be the State doughnut?

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Sorry, the state doughnut is a Texas hot kolache.

[dabuddha]

That was taxpayer money well spent.

 

[CrackRabbit]

I've been told that real Polish Kolaches are better than the Texas version of them, but I don't care Texas Kolaches rock.

[gorb]

I'm allergic, so no pecan pie for me.

 

[ivwshane]

[Oyeve]

Figures, crappy state, crappy pie.

I first read Pelican
Who'd eat that?

 

[OutHouse]

cool

my sisters house had 8 HUGE pecan trees. my kids loved harvesting them off the ground in November.

 

[ElFenix]

i'm surprised it wasn't already the state pie

Hah, when governments find they can't get anything done they always default to making a state "thing" - pie, bird, flower, rock. Not sure we need a state anything unless we are trying to save an animal from extinction.

 

[mwilliams8705]

Pecan pie is best pie.

I hear pelican tastes just like chicken.

Main course is oven roasted Pelican with mango/jalapeno chutney, roasted potatoes/parsnips, and pecan pie ala mode for desert.

 

[zinfamous]

As much as I love pecan pie, this is a horrible decision.

I mean...come the fuck on: it's just Karo corn syrup, a bag of pecans, some vanilla extract, and maybe some creative flourishes like crushed cranberries. hardly a "pie."

So is it pronounced "pee can" or "pee caan" or "pecaan"
