chris.mss Pies

In England. Yorkshire is still the
stronghold Of vast Christmas pies that
trace their lineage far beyond the Nor
man conquest into the dim feasts of
Saxon kings and Danish freebooters.
A rather quaint note, written in 1898,
makes mention Of the "wains" Tor wag-
ons) grooming about Christmas time
under load OF these pies and adds,
AT such times the hostess of a well
frequented inn of the old school viii

rivaling her own, and the county news.
paper will record its dimensions.
One such hostess Of the old school,
is immortalized by famous though
slightly profane epitaph in Yorkshire
churchyard running as follows
Here lies the body = Mary Ann shoven.
She was versed in The arts
OF cakes, pies and tarts
And the mystical rites of the oven.
When she'd lived long enough
she made her last puff
: putt by her husband much praised.
Now here she doth lie
And make a mud pie
In the hope that her crust may b.
raised.
