Who would guess that even Thanksgiving can give way to wars? Yes, there are Pumpkin Pie Wars.
What makes for Pumpkin Pie Wars? There was a so-called pie war in 2014 between two bakeries in Cincinnati over billboards and their placement right next to each other.
Then there's a TV move in 2016 named Pumpkin Pie Wars - that's a Hallmark moment, so don't expect any fighting. Maybe a pie fight.
Historically, the Civil Qar had a stand-off between South and North over pumpkin pie. There was no pumpkin pie in the South and they considered this a cultural domination. Making Thanksgiving a permanent holiday was seen by prominent Southerners as a culture war - that was in the 19th century.
When it comes to dominance, there's no argument over the largest pumpkin pie in the world - 3,699 pounds in New Bremen, Ohio. It was 20 feet in diameter. What did their recipe have? Canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Looks like a traditional pumpkin pie.
In relation to the largest pie records, this pumpkin pie is far behind. The world's largest meat pie weighed 23,237 pounds, made in Stratford-up-Avon College in the UK. And the world's largest cherry pie, in 1990, came in at 37,713 pounds and a diameter of 20 feet. That was in B.C. Shouldn't the largest pie be an apple one? Yes - 40,000 pounds in 1997 in Wenatchee Valley in Washington. Given these are foods to be eaten, you can imagine what they taste like. Even participants involved in "building" the pies said they tasted poor.
This is a silly Millie puppy image. Just popped in a new background so we can have a Happy Thanksgiving card.
