I do not care whether it is sweet or savoury or whether it is a pie or tart, I just love them all. I cannot choose a favourite, they are all delicious. Likewise, I have been waiting for an inane comment, criticism, or correction but it has gone very quiet on the Western front. What a relief. I have enjoyed seeing the handiwork of some very accomplished cooks. Congratulations everyone.
I did wonder if the "correct" answer was pumpkin pie, but it's not Thanksgiving in the US for several more weeks. I've never tried it but I've seen recipes - looks like an egg custard tart with added pumpkin puree so I think I'll stick with the pumpkin-free version.

Did anyone else have gypsy tart (don't know if that's its real name or what we called it) at school? It had a pastry case, a layer of some sort of dark syrupy stuff and a thick layer of a type of light brown mousse. Much too sugary to be giving to children in the 5-9 age range😂
I remember Gypsy Tart … think it was mainly condensed milk and black treacle!
We had pumpkin pie several times af Thanksgiving suppers at the homes of various American friends … I remember one version being topped with toasted marshmallows.

No @februarysgirl but I did look it u once and it's made with condensed milk which is also used, cooked, as the base in a banoffie pie which explains the excess sweetness.
I can't think the sugar rush would be good for young kids altho they'd still have had their lunch break to run a lot of it off.
