Spelling Guide:
PIE & PYE
Sea Pie - the English version with no fish. Fancy or only 2 meats as you will.
Cipaille, Cipâtes (spelling like the filling is up for debate, if not inviting argument) - Quebecois. 3 meats is most common. Regional variations with vegetables and spices or not. Onions almost always.
Six-Pâtes as you will - higher and with more meats is best for that true Louis XIV Sun King feel. An historical curiosity.
Head on over to the blog for nursery rhymes, coffin lids, and spanakopita hand pie recipes.

America has long been known as a Destination for Innovation. But what if I told you the innovation was ...
a) just editing on the hard work of many individual from many civilizations?
&
b) lots of the hard scut work was done in colonies before there were even was an America?
OK... ok ok there's more to it than that. But it is high time we recognize that sweeping innovations are ALWAYS the result of immersion in the contemporary environment. Sure, some jumps are bigger than others, but no innovation can exist without the thing it is innovating.
There's no boiling water without the recognition of fire and containers.
I'm not saying the best marketer shouldn't get rich - just that all the people assembling the widgets should also have food & shelter & water too!
Mechanized Milling - the start of American Prosperity, but not without problems.
So enjoy your bread - but can we make sure there's bread for all?

We have the bored rich to blame for tiny little bite size tarts. As busy colonials with outdoor ovens and too many things to do, we made our tarts big - and to go at meal times.
We will, alas have to wait for the coffee cake.
The liver pudding could go in the second course, but honestly, everyone would prefer the marrow pudding.
Even more than that - lets go with the fruit tarts - because that's what the busy cook and the sugar happy colonials want. Like so much spice - complex sweet savory puddings might just be a bit weird.
