Pie
I was asked to bring a "nice traditional pie" to a family dinner. A few months ago I brought key lime, and people didn't think it was "traditional" enough. What gives? I mean, seriously?
So what's a traditional pie? Should I even bother conforming, or just bring whatever I want?

You can never go wrong with pumpkin pie. Especially with lots of whipped cream. However, your family sounds like they need some exposure to some other kinds of pie. French silk is wonderful, as is banana cream pie.
If you want to bring a rather unorthodox kind of pie, bring 3.14159265358979.....

In general, I would say "traditional pies" are pies made with fruits. Your typical apple, cherry, pumpkin, peach... that kind of thing.
Bring whatever the hell you want! They should be glad you even brought it. If they don't want it because it's not "traditional" enough, eat the whole damn thing yourself!!! Or ship me some of the leftovers. Key lime is good.

Bring what ever you feel like making and if they dot like it shove it in their faces!

Traditional probably lies along the lines of apple, pumpkin, chocolate, etc etc. I for one love apple pie and chocolate pie *drools* Take lemon merangue this time and see what happens. I don't see why citrus pies would cause such a rift in the family.

You should really make something that you enjoy and that you feel represents your cooking skills the most. However, if you want to blend in, the pies I picture as traditional are apple pie, pecan pie, and all the "berry" pies: blueberry, stawberry, cherry, and raspberry. They'll even look traditional if you do the grid-style covering with pie crust on top.

Stick it to them all and bring the craziest and most outrageous pie you can think of... like strawberry rhubarb.
