Well...this is just something. I have never eaten cream pie ever. I don't think I've even seen one in major bakery chains in my locale.

Cream pies seems like an incredibly niche category. It would be far easier to just talk about pies in general. I love just about any fruit pie, other than cherry. Cherry is of the devil and should be avoided at all costs.

Speaking of cherries, I've seen quite a lot of comments on baking tutorials that say dark cherries taste better for cakes.

I have yet to try making pies, and the first one I would like to make is...something that I haven't decided.

This is making me hungry. I love pies. Was the banana pie delicious? Did it have cream inside?

Starbucks has a new policy in Asia apparently, where you have to enter a receipt code to use their Wi-Fi... for 30 minutes.

Thirty minutes only? It's outrageous.

This would never be acceptable in the North American west coast.

I was thinking that.

I've never seen a cream pie, let alone eaten them. Now pies... key lime, lemon meringue, custard tart, banoffee pie...

Technically, banoffee pie does have some cream, but not so much that it could be classed as a cream pie. A sample recipe (but I've never tried this recipe, so can't attest to the quality).

Tough poll, cooking styles are much broader.

Canadian and Mexican food would come under North America, and they are very different.

This is a very rare instance of Mexico and the USA being on the same team. Setting aside issues of immigration and drugs and past wars and trade disputes etc

Tacos and burgers, fighting on the same side. Californians, New Mexicans, and Mexicans... saying "you know what? We need to work together in this La Xinga poll... DESPITE our differences, we are on ONE continent. Only by pooling together our resources and fans, do we stand a chance against the forces of Europe and Asia. WE MUST JOIN FORCES."

Do not underestimate the power of the poutine that the Canadian faction brings to the NA poll option

Deceptively tough poll. Because I love Italian food (so European), but I also love Thai (which would be Other, as Southeast Asian isn't up there)

I've been eating more Thai food recently, so I think I'm going to go for "Other".

I dont like Canadian food. I find it for the most part, bland. The us has enough regional cuisines to keep me interested. I like Mexican.

I know something called Bacang, a rice meal of chinese origin, wrapped in banana leaves in the shape of a pyramid, basically rice and beef. I don't usually eat Bacang.

East Asian cuisine is the best IMO, with Latin American a close second and European a third.

Big shoutout to Middle Eastern food. It’s delicious. And from Southeast Asia, Indian cuisines. Love them.
