A History of Pies

The first celebration of pies was held in 1970 when the holiday was created by Charlie Papazian, who has the impressive credentials of being a nuclear engineer, brewer, teacher, and author. The pie itself is much older than its holiday of course. It's one of the oldest dishes dating back to ancient Rome.

Baking styles changed over the centuries and across the world. Meat pies first appeared in England in the 12th century. The sometimes strange origins of pie fillings gave rise to horror stories like the famous penny dreadful about Sweeney Todd that was later turned into a Broadway musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler.
