I'll try some lemon meringue pie whenever I can because I don't get a chance too often. Most of the time, it's a disappointment - too sweet, not tart enough, or gummy. The last time had some was a couple of weeks ago. It was too sweet and I left half on a plate. I'm ever hopeful that a good one will come my way. Perhaps it'll happen soon.

I haven't had a coconut cream pie in about a decade. Those never disappoint.. OTOH, we have haupia pies here which is a coconut pudding pie. Typically they come with chocolate or Okinawan sweet potato filling. I like 'em!
