... all the pies are filled with meats or vegetables, never fruit and they are not for dessert. LYDC members were quite weirded out by the idea of fruit in a pie and having it for dessert. They all tried it though and some liked it, but for most it was too sweet and they did not like it. Everyone loved the puppy chow and the s'mores though.
