Adventures in Shoo-Fly Pie
I lived in Lancaster County for 15 years ('88-'03). I had my first taste of Shoo-Fly at Yoder's Restaurant in New Holland. Warm with whipped cream, it is amazing.
One of my favorite jokes that I fell for was from my boss at the time (he was French) when we were at lunch one day. I ordered the Shoo-Fly and he told me I shouldn't have ordered that. He was quite the foodie so I thought he was just being snobbish. I asked him why, and with the straightest face, he told me it was because flies were not in season so it wouldn't be fresh!
