This pie is so totally called Sugar Pie in Canada as it is best served a-la-mode with a scoop of hazelnut ice-cream. I was about to say that in Canada we don't name desserts after insects... I don't think we do.. however we do have really yummy triple chocalate cookies called bear heaps... *will find the recipe*
