Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.
I had gone to Hollywood Farmers' Market a month ago to try the goodness I had read about one of their vendors - Snow con Amor. On our way back to the car, we came across Marcie's Pies. Immediately, that rung a bell for me but I couldn't place it.
I had to keep myself from eating more that a slice per meal. Really good stuff.
"What
had I heard or read about these guys," I thought to myself. Well, I
couldn't recall. But considering I had made a mental note of the place,
I just had to grab a pie to take home with me. But which one? Hmmm
They all looked very good! Some were regular crust while others had a
crumb topping.
They sell pies in 2 sizes. I got the smaller of the two.
Well, as luck would have it, after perusing their line of pies, I ended up choosing the one I had read about some time ago on LA Weekly. Now, I don't eat pie often, but I can say that this was a really good one. Nothing tasted artificial, it wasn't overly sweet and it wasn't gelatinous like most fruit-filled pies are. As far as the crust goes; the best. The ratio of crust to filling was right. It was flaky and the sugar crumb topping worked perfectly to contrast the slightly tart strawberry rhubarb filling. I'm a fan!
