Imagine your 10-year-old son asking you ”Mommy, what is pies? where did it come from?” while you give him his most favorite dish of the whole wide world. Startled a little bit? Don’t be. I have a brief and nicepie history so you can feed your hungry child’s mind and body. The story goes…
Once upon a time, all the way to the ancient time ( that’s right, the B.C time)…
The Egyptian invented the pie so they can store most of their food in the hot sandy desert weather surrounding the Nile. Around 2000 BC, they baked the pie with honey, nuts, and fruits. As time progress, they put savory meat in the pies so it can be stored longer.
The Egyptian pie crust is far more different than the modern pie crust that we have. They did not have baking sheets, or the pan, or something similar to bake the pie. Rather, they had to use the pie crust itself to bake, resulting the pie crust is inedible.
