Should I be brave?

Several years ago I came across a recipe for Vinegar Pie.  I have always wondered what it would taste like, but I have not been brave enough to try it yet.  So what do you think? To try or not to try?

Vinegar Pie

2 tablespoons butter
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
½ tsp. ground allspice
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 9” pie crust that had been briefly baked (about 3 minutes) at 450 degrees

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Sift together flour and spices then add to flour mixture, mix well. Beat in egg, vinegar and water. Pour into a double boiler and cook over boiling water until thick. Pour into the pie shell and bake about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Pioneer Vinegar Pie

1 egg
1 heaping tablespoon flour
1 c sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat these ingredients together and add 1 tablespoon of sharp vinegar and a cup of cold water. Flavor with a little nutmeg and pour into an unbaked pie shell. Cover with second pie crust and flute edges. Bake for an hour.

Hmmmm, pie is good. I like vinegar but I'm unsure if the two should meet. Although chocolate with chili powder sprinkled on it is surprisingly good. You never know.

1/2 or 1 cup sugar to 1 tbsp vinegar - yeah, I'ld risk it. I would guess it would taste a bit like sweet n sour sauce (which is vinegar, sugar, and ketchup)
