Blackberry pie time! Blessings on
that good woman who started the Gus
om. of cutting blackberry pie into
wedges shape pieces. When black
berry pie is. cut that way it is SO easy
tc drive it into that biggest opening
in your face. A great high monument
ought to be eretced to the woman who
started that way of cutting a black
berry pie, Did you ever so to sort.
f tony place, where they brought you
little bit of square cut piece Of
blackberry pie on a saucer like dish
and brought fork along FOR you TO
eat it with? If you were ever up
against that kind Of blackberry pie
eating, the essence of the whole thing
was lost Eating blackberry with a
fork. No red-blooded American citi-
zen wants to eat it that way.
The only real way to eat blackberry
pie is to take up the wedge-shaped
quarter section of pie and shove it
into your face with your good right
hand and then repeat that operation
three or four times. The good Lord
gave the Hebrews manna-and those
same Hebrews complained Of the fare
