    Me neither. I thought for sure that MA guys would be into that, with all those cranberry bogs out by the cape.

    I enjoy cranberries in a nut bread and sauce. Pie is a first.

    I like cranberries but have never had them in a pie. Would definitely try it!

    Can't remember the last time we had a cherry pie at Thanksgiving. Pumpkin, pecan, maybe apple. Guess we're not a popular type of family. :whistle:

    Never known anyone to have cranberry pie for Thanksgiving (I've rarely even see a cranberry pie). Everyone likes pecan, pumpkin and apple. The best verification is not the people I know, but the fact that the grocery stores were stocked to the hilt with those 3 pies yesterday. Did not see a cranberry pie at all.

    Seriously I've never seen one. Apple pie, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Pecan Pie. Blueberry Pie is pretty special. I grew up in SW Ohio and Pumpkin pie was King for Thanksgiving! My grandma made sweet tater pie for us when we were kids. But by no means was it a staple for Thanksgiving

    Another example of wrongful information generated by AI perhaps?

    most likely. Another one that caught my eye was strawberry pie? Another one I've never seen. I've also lived in KY and TN and never saw a Sweet Tater pie there either.

    I've seen and had strawberry but I think of it as a Summer dessert.

    Butternut squash pie is my family tradition. It sounds bad, but it is the superior pumpkin pie. 12/10 recommend.

    I call BS. Growing up in NH, apple by was by far the most popular, with pumpkin a close second. I have had apple/cranberry pie, but apple/rhubarb (using fresh wild rhubarb) was much more common. I have had strawberry pie many times up here, and they sell it at our local small grocery store, but it was never a Thanksgiving staple (if there was a fruit pie other than apple, it was pretty much always blueberry).

    Apple/rhubarb sounds good; strawberry/rhubarb is more familiar to me.. blackberry pie is the bomb
