Talk:Key lime pie

message: that picture isn't that great, because it's covered with some kind of whipped cream or something meaning that it doesn't show the actual key-limeness. T-1 14:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The topping is meringue, the true topping for KLP. Cool whip & other whipped cream concoctions are not authentic KLP toppings.
But I do understand what you are saying.  Perhaps if we could find a photo of one that's been cut or or a close up of a single slice on a plate?  Just be sure that it's topped with meringue and isn't green!
It wouldn't be right to take out the one that's there, since it's a whole pie. Other images online are most likely copyrighted, so... the next time I make one I'll photograph a cut-away view and place that slice photo in addition to what's there.  -  Marc Averette 16:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  On the contrary, that's exactly what a real Key lime pie looks like 

message: Hi. I've tagged this article as POV, because there are a couple of bits that read like someone's point of view. Specifically:
"To the dismay of aficionados, ..."
"Alas, many popular chain restaurants that have "Key lime pie" on their menus are not serving authentic Key lime pie to their patrons."
Not sure whether this is quite the right tag, but hopefully someone who knows the subject will be able to clean up the POVness.

replies: text: Well, as someone born & raised in Key west, not many know better than I do about it.  Ask any professional dessert chef, they'll tell you about the green/yellow issue.  A green or white Key lime pie without a meringue topping is about as authentic as a purple strawberry flavored Big Mac.  If you want a source I have a Conch cookbook as well as old postcards that have the recipe on it.  I can 100% assure you that the pie made from following these recipes will not be green or have a cool-whip topping.  -  Marc Averette 00:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry, I probably wasn't clear - I'm not disputing the facts over what the traditional colour / topping is - I'm from the UK and have never enjoyed one of these tastey-sounding treats! No, the issue I was raising was that the stuff about whether it dismays afficionados, and the use of the word "alas" sounds like it's not encyclopaedic / factual. If you said words to the effect of "the traditional way of making it is this, but some modern mass produced versions change the colour and substitute X topping for Y topping" then that would be a more neutral way of putting it. If you want to include info about whether the mass-produced version is disappointing to those who know the traditional version then I would expect to see some supporting info. Thanks.

text: Nothing against you, but the reason I'm on this page is because it sounded like a Key Lime Pie Fetishist wrote this. In neutral terms, that means I agree with Jamse and may attempt some small edits. AKismet 22:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV 

message: This article should describe the standard Key Lime pie, not make judgements about variant pies. They need not even be discussed.
*Yes, an authentic key lime pie's filling has a pale yellow color. No, it is not necessary to identify filling colors that are not authentic -- not only is a green pie inauthentic, but so is an orange pie or a black pie. Just say that it's pale yellow, and leave it at that! 
*Yes, an authentic key lime pie has a topping made from traditional meringue. No, it's not necessary to describe the topping on a commercial pie as "some other form of topping".
*No, a pie using a variation of the recipe is not a "fake variety". It's just a variant recipe, and we need not concern ourselves with it here.
*Please do not place photo credits inside the article. Standard practice is to leave them only on the image description page. —ptk✰fgs 00:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: I'm surprised comparisons haven't been made with lemon meringue pie - they are very similar, in fact I didn't realise how similar til I read this article. The only difference is the citrus filling. The lemon meringue article is very sparse, which is odd seeing as it's internationally a more popular dish. Does anyone know more about the history of the two, are they linked in any way?Gymnophoria (talk) 23:54, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Something tangential to the article:
The 9th version of the mobile operating system Android was expected to be called "Key Lime Pie" (and referred as KLP internally), but on Sep 4 2013 Google revealed that the version will instead be called "Android KitKat", after the Nestlé chocolate bar, since "We realised that very few people actually know the taste of a key lime pie" as explained by John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.229.34.175 (talk) 06:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that the thickening occurs due to a chemical reaction between the condensed milk and the acid in the lime juice. Surely it's the protein in the egg yolk that reacts with the acid?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.19.201 (talk) 08:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Are YELLOW, not green.
Have Meringue, NEVER whipped cream.
Use a cheapy-frozen pie crust; Graham Crackers are sacrilege. (restaurants started doing that to make the dessert sweeter for the Yankees, and the damned Yankees-the ones who stayed). 50.221.100.74 (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  REAL Key Lime Pies: 

message: I used to get this quoted at me all the time. The chorus is “ my oh my. How I love that key lime pie”
What is it? I see it referred to in recipes sometimes, so someone must know it. 
The one I’m looking for will have a reference  to “great big truck”. 
Could add to the article, to show cultural impact. 2601:647:5800:3B60:B055:2CEF:ABC1:3C04 (talk) 20:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
