Another week down! I’m almost 10% of the way there. Slow and steady is the way to go? Anyway – today’s dish is a dessert dish called No-Pan Pear Pie. And pound cake is one of the ingredients. Now this seems like sacrilege – how can there be cake in pie? Isn’t there an ancient feud between pie and cake? Then how can they exist together in the same dish? It’s a little shocking. Now AB calls this not a true pie, but a fruit gallette. So maybe it’s okay for cake to be in a gallette. But – this is not the whole way that this dish is deceptive. There are not only pears in the pie. There are blueberries! So – the question I ask the great Alton Brown – why not call it No-Pan Pear/Blueberry Pie? Maybe it was the whole alliteration thing.
