Growing up in TX, we kids would go out to the yard and collect ripe pecans from the yard at grandmother's house.  Then the shelling, cleaning, and separation and she'd do gher magic.
Mmmmmmm...

...coconut cream pie, fresh peach pie, blueberry cream pie, and pumpkin-custard pie.

 
Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to refrain myself from making an inappropriate joke on this post?? :P

Bonus - a selfie of BigPapasan too...

Long time ago I bought one from a black Muslim on Crenshaw.
Not too long ago I tried them again outside the Hollywood Bowl. They're sweet and don't taste like actual beans or refried beans.

Spent much of my childhood growing up in Key West.  Real key limes are not harvested or grown in orchards. The trees grow in people's back yards. As a kid I'd get a basket and collect key limes that fell to the ground. For most people it was fair game.  
 
Then  my mother would get the neighbor, a baker and cook by trade, to make us key lime pies.  

Let me say this. There is NOTHING like the original made from real key limes from key west. And almost all bottled products are mixes, concentrates, or a small percentage of the original.  The one's you buy fresh at the grocery store are from Mexico. Not bad, actually.  

So it's Key Lime Pie.  

And if it's on the menu, which it rarely is, Black Bottom Pie.

Mmmm!

My fav is Dutch Apple Pie too! :p

Pussy pie with fresh whip cream

is considered a "holiday pie", but I eat it  during the holidays. . . . . Key Lime.  

Pecan Pie, but only my version...

Fresh raw pecans and rum barrel aged maple syrup from my local Farmer's Market, a splash of Cointreau, and a buckwheat crust. The right balance of earthy and sweet, and not a trace of high fructose corn syrup to be found.
