January 23rd is Pie Day! Not Pi Day -- thats March 14. The first pies were probably made by the Greeks. The Roman, Cato the Censor, published the first written pie receipt or recipe: a rye-crusted, goat cheese and honey pie. Most early pies were main dish meat pies. Fruit pies or tarts were probably first made in the 1500s. Queen Elizabeth I is creditted for making the first cherry pie. Pie came to America with the first English settlers, who cooked their pies in long narrow pans called coffins. The early crusts were inedible and tough designed to hold the filling together during baking rather than to be eaten. By the way, the song, American Pie by Don McLean hit #1 for 4 weeks in 1971. Without pies, there would be movie pie fights. youtu.be/7B_uRmhydk4
