Quirky and OCD tendencies..... Anyone else have them?

One of my New Years Resolutions is to try one new ethnic recipe a month. Tons of great, free recipes on line. I'm 66 YO and have never even tried food from Germany where my Great Grandparents were born. I have grown up on "Americanized" food all my life and don't think it really or accurately compares to any real culture.

Since there are no ethnic restaurants in my small town, will have to construct my own. I may not like some of them but it should be fun.

Yes, I have tried about every form of sweet potato cooking..... blech!

OK I am going to send my oldest daughter there to make you a sweet potato pie. It will change your life.

Wow. I am hoping the oldest daughter can turn the man around, but seriously, sweet potato pie is nirvana. It is hard for me to fathom not liking it, but ok. ..

Say Moss. do you like pumpkin pie? Because Sweet Potato pie is similar. Not quite the same but close.

Canned pumpkin is actually squash for some reason.

Butternut squash baked with sugar and brown sugar aren't bad either. Or made into a pie.

I have never met a pie that I didn't like! Real, honest-to-God, southern Fried Pies were the absolute best. There are only a few places to get them anymore. At one time, Hostess made real fried pies then everyone went to baked and totally ruined a good thing.

Hoping for a Mincmeat Pie soon. Need to pick up Lard for the pie crust.

I was the only kid in my family growing up that liked Mincemeat Pie. So Mom took one piece and I ate the rest. YUM!

No idea how she made it.

Unfortunately - I've never met a pie I didn't like. I kind of look that way also. My very favorite - wild high bush cranberry. The only problem with wild high bush cranberry or wild raspberries - brown bears like the berries also. And they don't take kindly to people picking in their patch.
