I gave in. A new reader left a comment on last week’s Key Lime Pie post that I had to try the same from the Birchwood Cafe. Considering that I’m a huge fan of the nieghborhood place, and it’s just a few steps (miles) from my house, I did try it. And I loved it. However, I have a hard time comparing it to the pie from M&S because it was really very different. This pie was smooth and tart, the crust was thinner but had more flavor. Both were absolutely delicious. And if someone put a piece of both in front of me, there would be little but crumbs left on the plate. If I had to choose, I’d go with the Birchwoods, but more for the atmosphere and the support of a local business. Either way, I think I won. Anyone care to meet me at the Birchwod for lunch, or maybe a piece of pie?
i’m always up for lunch! next week should be manageable… or maybe we should do friday?
Mmmmm…. if only it wasn’t so far from work.
I am glad you tried my suggestion. I am actually a long tome lurker. Guess it took key lime pie to bring me out of hiding!
