NEW ENGLAND
CREDITED WITH
ORIGIN OF PIE
Legend Says Housewife
Who Faced Low Larder
Baked First.

The origin Of pie has been the
subject Of research and its ances-
try is still in doubt, but it appears
that this delectable dessert is dis
ITCHY New Englands contribution
to the world.
Just how this particular combina-
ton of pastry and fruit was hit
upon is a matter Of conjecture. A
theory advanced is that pie as we
know it is the result Of using the
ingredients Of the tart. put into the
form Of an English paste" which
was made Of meat.
According to a legend, a New
England housewife whose husband
had failed to keep the larder full
was at her wits end to concoct a
paste" without meat and be-
thought her of the apples ripening
on a tree outside her door.
Instead Of the usual smart tart,
she made dish Of the proportions
Of a meat paste" and when her
lord and master demanded to know
what it was she was serving him,
she labeled the new dish a pie.
Doubtless she exchanged recipes
with her neighbors, and the fame
Of the first apple pie thus spread.
Early Pie Made of Meat
Whatever may be the truth about
this, the fact is that in early Eng
ish cooking a pie was any dish
made of meat, with a crust. That,
in turn, was the outgrowth of the
custom Of baking fowls with a COW
ering Of crust. The legs of the
fowl were left sticking out to be
used as handles. Then other meats
were used for pies.
There was a lower as we'll as an
upper crust, with the meat and its
gravy between. In the early days
the crust was of biscuit dough, later
changing to the faky pastry We
now know.
French Make Tarts
The French, for all their talent
with pastry, still do not know how
to fashion a real American pie.
The tart, small, filed with fruit or
jelly, is their closest approach to
pie.
The success of a pie, as every
American housewife knows, is
gagged by the fakineSs of its crust.
The secret of that success, as the
best cooks agree, lies in the use of
lard. That lard ranks first in short
ening value among fats used in
making pie has been demonstrated
both by practical experience and
scientific tests.
No other shortening approaches
lard when a tender and f1aky pie
crust is to be achieved. Moreover
these delicate and delicious pie
crusts are easily digeSted and nu-
tritious.
A single crust may be baked on
the outside of the pan. 1t should
be pricked with a fork to prevent
bistering.
