What Do YOU Call This Food?

All round. Last one was just cut in a square shape out of a round tin.

It wasn't so long ago that what we typically think of as "pie" was actually called a "coffin."

Isn't that called marriage?

Or the abominable Coke!

I liked "New Coke", but then again, I liked SNL in the 80s too.

Man, now I want cottage pie for dinner.

Spoiler: to save space

I think these two are more properly tarts, than pies, no matter their names.

The first episode of Chef Vivian Howard’s TV show Somewhere South was “American as Hand Pie”. It detailed the origins and general history of hand pies from all over the world, including the world’s favorite: empanadas.

Basically, nearly every culture that figures out how to make crusty bread makes pies, and most of THOSE cultures eventually make hand pies of some kind.

A lot are round…but many are also half moons, squares, triangles, bag shaped cylinders and even a couple barbell shaped ones.

So, everyone has there own version of pop-tarts!
(And there are lots of recipes out there for Taco pop tarts apparently).

Fruit hand pies go back a loooong way.

Kellogg's Pop-Tart tangent: I’m old enough to remember Danish Go Rounds, a cousin of the Pop-Tart, also made by Kellogg's. IMHO, the DGRs generally had better fillings and more of it. But I loved both, and the pantry always had one or the other, if not both. And if I couldn’t get those- or sometimes, even if I could- I got Breakfast Squares (a General Mills product).

Unfortunately, DGRs and Breakfast Squares weren’t successful products.
