Real Pie history
Pies were roasted in America as shortly as the earlier settlers set-up housekeeping on dry land. Beyond mere preference, however, there was a practical cause for making pies, peculiarly in the hard & primitive conditions endured by the premier colonists. A piecrust used less flour than bread & it did not call for something as complicated as a brick oven for baking. More important, though, was how pies might stretch even the most meager provisions into sustaining a couple of more hungry mouths.
The premier pies were really bare & normally of the savory (meat & cheese) kind. Flaky pastry fruit-filled turnovers looked in the earlier 19th century. Some pie-type foods are made for personal consumption. These portable piespasties, turnovers, empanadas, pierogi, calzoneswere savored by the working classes & traded by road vendors. Pie variations (cobblers, slumps, grunts, etc.) are endless.
Piethe filling & baking of sweet (fruits, nuts, cheese) or savory(meat, fish, cheese) components & spiceries in encasing compiled of flour, fat, & water is an old practice. The fundamental conception of pies has altered tiny consistently through the ages. Cooking formulas (baked or deep-fried in old hearths, portable colonial/pioneer Dutch ovens, modern ovens), pastry composition (flat bread, flour/fat/water/crusts, puff paste, milles feuilles), & social preference (pita, pizza, quiche, shepherds, lemon meringue, classical apple, cocoa pudding?) All figure prominently into the complicated history of this fastidious genre of food. The fundamental conception of a pie is taken to mean a mix of components encased & roasted in pastry.
