Bake 35-40 minutes until set in center.

Uh... Yeah... if you have never been or cooked in the South. 

I agree. Only a Yankee would put cream cheese in a pecan pie. 

Agreed.  That's disgusting.  It reminds me of an old hillbilly folk song line..."She blew her nose in cornbread, and called it pumpkin pie!"

So...  someone posts a recipe, trying to participate, and it's open fodder to mock them and their efforts to post here?  Nice.

No wonder so few have actually made an effort for this new forum.  No one cares, and if you do post a recipe... you will be mocked.  So... who cares?  Don't waste your time trying to fellowship. 

Maybe you missed it, but the pecan is the state tree of Texas.  They know quite well the art of making a pecan pie.  But we do agree on one thing, Texas is not "The South." 

Thank you for all the corrections, notations about southern living, remarks about yanks and the note regarding displeasure at the idea of cream cheese mixed with pecan.  I even found the tutorial on urinals interesting, in some weird sort of way.

Pecan may certainly be pronounced 'puh con' but most literate folks recognize it's SPELLED pecan - even those whose manners would certainly wither the most staunch southerner around.

Thanks for the feedback.  Ummm, it's been a real eyeopener.

Well, you pegged it - the recipe did come from a label or cream cheese box, although I don't recall which. 

My reply to the posters here was probably much too harsh - I don't really know the 'rules' for posting, but I can say
I no longer think anyone was trying to be rude or condescending, etc.

My apologies for jumping on everyone about it.

I'm not really much of a cook - if it's not out of a book or off a label and I try to cook it?  The odds are no one will be wanting to eat it.   I came over here and posted some recipes because you invited me when I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago and I thought that was a nice way to start out posting here and try to meet some people.

Ultimately, recipes are just that - recipes.    Sometimes people like them, sometimes they don't.  And there is always a new day and a new recipe to try. :)

Be well and all good things to you and yours.
