History of National Raspberry Cream Pie Day

While we are accustomed to different forms of pie in this day and age, there was a time when there was no such thing as fruit pies. In fact, pies were mostly served with meat. For instance, a chicken pie recipe was found on a tablet that dates back to 2000 B.C. In Britain too, pies were mostly made with meat fillings and were one of the dishes that were opted for when heading out on a sea voyage. Pies and tarts became fashionable only during the Dark Ages when members of the monarchy preferred them to be served at court. And since the British royals loved pies so much, it wasn’t long before the regions they colonized also started adapting to new fruit cream pie recipes.

This love for pie further evolved in the 1800s and various flavors such as chocolate, apple, and cherry were introduced. The famous apple pie was all the rage in the U.S. when the land was colonized by Europeans. While there was a point in the 1900s during which different forms of cream pie were served in every American household, the tradition began dwindling with the rise of the women’s rights movements. This is because more women insisted on stepping out of the house and working, rather than simply staying at home and cooking up dishes. However, sugar pies once again made a comeback during World War II. During this time, old pie recipes were discovered, and new recipes were created to add variety to the types of cream pies available.
