As promised, I began researching in earnest on pie-baking and pie variances. I was excited and engrossed, determining that for my first post I wanted to ease into 2017 with a fairly simple pie. Starting with an American classic, Apple, sounded perfect. I'd finished my research (which will be featured later this year, I assure you) when my husband, the dear voice of reason and enlightenment, suggested that perhaps I shouldn't start quite so simple since I have baked before and besides, isn't apple pie more of a summer thing?So I went back to the drawing board. I really asked myself what I was getting into with this project. What is pie?
I didn't realize the scope of the rabbit hole I had sent myself down until I came across this article from UK based publisher, The Telegraph. The article tells the tale of a petition drawn up to present to Parliament to lawfully define pie. I suppose it's better for me to deal with this issue at the beginning rather than later.
