This month I've been reading American Pie: Slices of Life (and Pie) from America's Back Roads by Pascale Le Draoulec (HarperCollins, 2002).
Pascale is a journalist and food critic for the New York Daily News. She decided to follow the holy grail of pie, driving along back roads from San Francisco to New York, sniffing out recipes, pie makers, and pie lore. Pie is the quintessential American dessert, and every state has its signature pie. I loved meeting the characters Pascale met on her odyssey, for pie is an emotional topic laden with memories. She discovered that no matter where she went, people liked to talk pie.
How well do you know America's pie map? Match up these states with the pies they are famous for:
