Lemon meringue pie - is home-made much nicer than readymade?

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

I want to make lemon meringue pie.
DH says he doesn't like it much.
I say 'That is because you have never had a proper home-made one.'

Am I likely to be right? Are the home-made ones generally much nicer than the ones you get served in canteens or frozen-food-reheating pubs?

Thank you

Kathyis6incheshigh: think it was luck rather than anything else. DS was a hyperactive toddler and I used to bake with him a lot after we'd done toddler group /swimming/jigsaws/games/reading/ can't think what else to do and I'm knackered!!! He made Lemon Meringue Pie in Food Tech one time and it turned out really well so he's made it a few times since. Wish I could make pastry as well as he does!
