Round 2, based on the top 5 from round 1 from the first 25 responses: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/66989KJ
Well looks like the free version is limited to 25 responses. And it's too expensive for me to buy it. So much for that idea. I have closed the survey, for now.
Here are the results through 25 responses.

Old school single elimination bracket? Draw from a hat and see what happens?
I'd say pick the top 5 from the list and we can crown a king inside 25 votes.

sorry that I'm only able to get the first 25 responses here.
Looks like key lime is in the lead. I knew I was surrounded by men and women of style and class.
Key Lime Pie is overrated.

Glad there's at least two other rhubard freaks out there. My mom uses some kind of custard in the rhubarb / strawberry filling mix that sweetens it just a bit and smooths out the flavors nicely.

Today I learned that something called "peanut butter pie" exists and I will be looking into this.
Family legend has my wife's grandfather stating that all pie is good but some pie is better. I never met the man but I believe he and I would have gotten along quite well.
Grand Traverse cherry pie with the crumble top is amazing. And I don't even care for cherry pie. They sell it in MI, of course, but southerners (sort of) can find it in Terre Heute (sp??) too
But yeah key lime, coconut cream, French silk... man i just love pie
I have a new favorite. If you look closely at all the weight I lost while sick this week, you'll notice that's an apple pie INSIDE a berkeleying cheesecake.
After tonight it might be the fiance's Butterfinger pie.
It's a graham cracker crust, cheesecake/peanut butter pie with a bunch of butter fingers broken up and put in the filling.

I don't think that map is right. Cream pie is in no way king in MN. I mean I love to see all the key lime states out in the middle of nowhere, but...how are they even getting the citrus? Apple over cherry in Michigan? Som'n ain't right.
EDIT- ok, it's what they SEARCHED. I don't blame the flyovers for wanting a key lime. It is superior after all.
Maybe an eastern Ontario thing but Bumble Berry pie! Whatever berries are around (left over from harvest) in one delicious miasma of flavour.
Strawberry Rhubarb as well.

This years Turkey Day was a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie. Just baked up a sweet potato pie for the first time as I had leftovers.
My helper is quite excited to try it tomorrow.
Went out to my nieces place for my brother's 80th birthday. His choice for birthday cake was raisin pie. It has been years and years since I've had it, and it was pretty darn good.
Spiced like mincemeat.
Which begs the question, is mincemeat a thing everywhere? Or do you need to have British blood?

I remember it showing up on my mothers side of the family several times, and if we were any more scandanavian....I don't have a good turn of phrase for that but we're very scandanavian. So...?
