Signature Dish: Pie Me Pies’ avocado chocolate lime pie
NANAIMO — You read it right, it’s avocado and lime…in a pie.
The usual, eye-brow raising combination blending sweet and savoury is the concoction of Chemainus’ Pie Me Pies, a small husband and wife-run business serving up fruit and cream pies from the Secret Garden on Willow St.
“My husband’s the number one joker, saying ‘are we having a guacamole pie?'” Laura McFadyen said.
“I usually keep a little bit of the filling to the side and let people have a little taster on a spoon and they’re convinced, they’ll always come back for more.”
