All pies made from the stuff on the trees out back taste better. I ate many a pie made of cherries and apples from the trees out back when I was a kid. They were fabulous.

The pecan pie people don't have to search online for the recipe because they've either committed it to memory or keep it on a yellowing index card that has been passed down a few generations.
