Very true. I remember trying the mock apple pie when it first appeared
on the Ritz Cracker box. My sister in law's were making them, and must
say, I was very reluctant, but I love to experiment with cooking/baking,
and really we didn't think they were really too bad, and as you said,
with the spice and sugar, and a good imagination, you could almost
forget you were eating "cracker pie" instead of "apple pie". :-) It was
sort of a novelty at the time, I guess, as haven't made one in years.

I must say I've never had vinegar pie....hmmmm, not sure about that? but
I've made Oatmeal Pie and it's very good! I've made cake out of lima
beans, that was quite good and Bread Salad, which was sort of like a
imitation potato salad, and I've even made Popcorn Salad, that is tasty.
As I said, I'll try anything once!
