Hands off our Apple Pies !
Without any intention of insulting our American friends on here,HANDS OFF OUR APPLE PIE !!!!
I was watching an American cookery programme this afternoon when one of the ladies on there actually had the temerity to say “Think of Apple Pie and one automatically thinks of America, if we didn’t have our national symbol already, then Apple Pie would be the top contender !
BLOOMIN CHEEK !
Just for the record, Apple Pie originated here in England. It was first mentioned by Chaucer in 1381. Dutch Pies were invented in England in the 1600’s.
I know the famous sayings ….”.As American as Apple Pie” and when the US troops were asked why they had joined up to fight in World War II the reply was always “For Mom and Apple Pie”.
But it’s not American, You can’t have it because it’s our invention !!
Just for the record, Bramley Apples belong to us too. The first Bramley’s were grown by Mrs Brailsford in Nottingham in 1809.
So there !
Feel better now I’ve got that off my chest ! Get fed up when other countries claim our glory.
Don't you?

Re: Hands off our Apple Pies !
I know how you feel, straight after watching that programme I watched the Hairy Bikers make a traditional ENGLISH apple pie with Bramley apples, When it was taken out of the oven, the pie was so deep, so full of sliced apples with the most gorgeous golden sweet pastry they had to use a giant spatula to cut and pick the first slice out, they then placed it into a dish and proceeded to pour single cream slowly over it. I was eating a digestive biscuit with my cuppa at the time and felt right cheated !!

Can't remember when I last had apple pie and custard. If anyone one wants to make me one.....leave it covered on the back door step and I'll pick it up later
