National Cherry Pie Day
On February 20, Some pie enthusiasts will be enjoying their favorite pie on National Cherry Pie Day. Depends on how much they love cherry pie, whether they eat it for breakfast, lunch, or supper or a slice at every meal.
As we all know the history (albeit untrue) of President George Washington and the cherry tree, it seems only fitting that we celebrate the cherry pie so close to Presidents Day. Cherries were, however, one of his favorite foods.
The pie came from America with the first English settlers, according to the American Pie Council. The early colonists of England made their pies in long narrow pans, calling them "coffyns" like the crust in England. The early American pie crusts were often not eaten, but rather held the filling during baking, as in Roman times. The word crust was used instead of "coffyn" during the American Revolution, rather than "coffyn."
Cherry pie is often described as a "great American dish" in the United States. Cherry pie recipes are available in a variety of cookbooks.
