Pecan pie isn't much different than horrid shoofly pie.
I'd much rather have my pecans toasted with a light sugar glaze and a
few tossed atop a plate of 'nilla ice cream. I don't care for pecans
anyway. they are more trouble than they are worth to shell. There are
other nuts I like much better, hazelnuts are a favorite. I much prefer
walnuts. And pistachios are the best.
