I doubt there's anything produced in the USA that doesn't come in a cherry flavoured version.

What a sad entry into the world of American booze; nothing we produce is as awful as Jim Beam. I can't even sit next to anyone who orders that rotgut garbage, though adding cherry to the mix might just make it barely palatable. The first time I met Mr. Beam was at work, 42 years ago. I had a number of older coworkers, being just a lad at the time, and they all thought that I should try Jim Beam one evening. They bought a quart and a half, gave me the quart, and split the half bewteen themselves, amidst much laughter. I rode my bicycle home from work, being too young to drive, and they tell me it was a foggy night; I don't recall any fog. I got home somehow, found my bedroom, and zipped myself tightly into the sleeping bag I used for a bed. Ten minutes later the world began to whirl about me, and I had the irresistable urge to hurl. Have you ever tried to get out of a sleeping bag in a hurry? It isn't easy... I made it to the bathroom, albeit a tad too late as the damage had already been done. I dragged the sleeping bag out into the yard to dry, but before the Sun managed to clear the air and erase the evidence, my dog buried the offensive object under the lawn. My dad noticed the damage to the lawn, and that was my undoing - two weeks' restriction! To this day, 44 years later, I still can't stand the odor of Jim Beam. I'm not fond of Bourbon of any kind, but none elicit the gut response that Jim Beam does - to hurl, perhaps to violently engulf the server within a cocoon of wetness, mixed with whatever I have ingested in the past 4 hours or so... If you want to explore the varieties of bourbons made in the US, try something else - anything but Jim Beam. X|

OK - I promise not to order Jim Beam next time we are out drinking! :-D

I've never had a mass produced cherry pie that tasted like cherries. :doh: Fruit skin splats in red sugar sludge does not even come as close to tasting like cherries as cough syrup. X|

I concur. Which is a shame, as real cherries are actually rather nice and a pie (or other dessert) made with them likewise. It's a bit like 'strawberry' or 'raspberry' flavouring, it just doesn't taste like what it's supposed to.
Fortunately baking a pie from scratch isn't as hard as most people think. :cool:

No, but finding cherries at a reasonable price can be ... Also, I am quite bad at making pastry, so pies are a bit tricky for me.

Fresh fruit is seasonable despite all efforts to ship from the antipodes to conceal the fact. You just need to plan your pie for when cherry's are in season locally. Then a bag of cherries won't cost any more than the nasty frozen pie you didn't get.

90% of the difference is in the filling. You can make an open faced pie with a store bought crust and still get most of the improvement.
