Thread Name: BS: American Pie
Subject: RE: BS: American Pie
I suspect that pecan pie and sweet potato pie are likely to be found in the South.

Pecan may be native to the southern tip of Illinois, but its entire range corresponds to our South rather well.

I also suspect that rhubarb, apple, custard and others should be credited to the Brittish. People of English ancestry is still very common in both of the Carolinas, so their taste in cooking is still evident.
