The Last Chance to Win Your Thanksgiving Pies
EDITORIAL
New York Times, 1902
"It is utterly insufficient (to eat pie only twice a week), as anyone who knows the secret of our strength as a nation and the foundation of our industrial supremacy must admit. Pie is the American synonym of prosperity, and its varying contents the calendar of the changing seasons. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can ever be permanently vanquished."
In response to an Englishman’s suggestion that Americans should reduce their daily pie eating to two days per week.
The Last Chance to Win Your Thanksgiving Pies
Hah!
1. Rosie's Bakery, Cambridge MA: APPLE PIE.
Because it's THANKSGIVING.
Because it's APPLE PIE.
Because Apple Pie is REALLY GOOD.
Because Rosie's is REALLY GOOD.
Because it's one of my fondest memories of living in Cambridge.
Because it's New England -- how much more Thanksgiving-y can you get?
2. Fred's (wife's) sweet potato pie. Fred sells'em at the Farmer's Market in Union Square. (Or he used to. It's been awhile.) I'm not sure it's even sweet potato, but it's the right flavor, and a great recipe (think BUTTER!) Their stuff is better'n most bakeries care to do.
3. Nesselrode pie. You find it, I'll eat it. (Didn't you go looking for this awhile back?)
It's something I loved as a child. Childhood, family, Thanksgiving, food. For me, this sort of brings it all together, even though it was not something we ever had at Thanksgiving.
3 pies for 3 phases of my life. Thanksgiving to bring past and present together with family, to share.
