Lol that mince meat pie is still made in England every Christmas time. I think it was after the Victorian era that we stopped using actual meat in the pie. They are smaller tiny pies as well, instead of one big pie. Back in the day meat was added to show status and wealth, because poor people could hardly afford meat or bread. King Henry 8th liked the pie so much, he declared everyone in England should try it, and it caught on.

My Mom had a cafe in a small town during the fifties and sixties. My Mom was from south Texas and was an awesome cook. Always having home made rolls and pies. People would bring in fruit for her to make pies and fruit rolls. She had a friend who would bring her sour cream and she would bake sour cream raisin pies . She would have to make at least 4 chocolate meringue pies, 2 lemon pies..one meringue and one with a lattice top….i mean..fresh strawberries and raspberries became delicious fruit rolled in sponge cake …blueberries, gooseberries, rhubarb, apple ..can you imagine…fresh pies with local produce. I’m 79 and so thankful I learn pie making from my Mom.

🤤🤤🤤 Yes, I can imagine that, even though many of those fruits don't grow locally where I grew up. Sour cream raisin pie is to die for! My mom occasionally made pies with a local berry; it was 1 crust, a custard filling, raw saskatoon berries with a glaze, and topped with whipped cream. I suspect you would have loved it as much as I did.

I expect that a quick internet search for the name of each pie will turn up multiple hits for recipes. I recognized the kitchen in the molasses pie footage; that's from the Glen and Friends Cooking channel, so I know that's going to have a good presentation of the ingredients and preparation.

Shoofly Pie like said is still available around Pennsylvania. It was originally the centennial cake in 1876, but converted to a pie because the cake was very sticky and a pie crust made it easier to handle. The name Shoofly was popular at the time for Shoofly the Boxing Mule. Many items were named after him, including molasses, and eventually the pie.

why would apples not be available in the winter? There were/are numerous varieties known for having long storage times, they would ripen late in the autumn and keep until spring when kept cool and dark. Some, such as the Winesap, were nearly inedible when picked but 1-2 months after picking they would develop a fine flavor but retain their firmness (a fully aged Winesap makes incredible applesauce). My great grandfather used to buy bushels of Northern Spy apples in November, put them in the root cellar, and they would just be finishing them up around March.

@HeatherG-qg5px absolutely correct, ma'am. I used the term "meat" to distinguish from fruit and dairy.

Just going to mention this but "FEWER," not "less." Not "less people" but "fewer people"; not "less bakeries" but "fewer bakeries." I know it's becoming more and more common but the two words are NOT interchangeable. "Fewer" should be used with countable nouns. The problem is most likely because the opposite of both is "more." "Just eat fewer cookies every day as part of your diet and you'll be okay" as opposed to "Your boss is mad because you're putting in less effort than your co-workers." By comparison, "Eating more cookies means more exercise for you." It's just a peeve and the misuse needs to stop.

Mincemeat is basically a pemmican pie, not a sweet pudding or fruit pie.

@@topherl1446 I didn't like lima beans or stewed tomatoes either, but what I taught my child was that we don't have a right to turn up our noses at the gifts God gives us, just take what you have and learn to cook it in a way that you like it. She has become very good at that. She can almost always figure out a way to cook things so that she enjoys them.

I would like to point out that Shoo fly pie is still quite common in the PA Dutch region?

Love vinegar pie! My mom still makes it!

I was just telling my son day before yesterday about the Shoo-fly pie and how I’d love to have one. I first had it when I went to college. Even though my college was in Virginia, it was a Mennonite college. It was so good.

They aren't hard at all. You line a pie pan with crust, make up a bunch of brown sugar crumbs, make a hot liquid of molasses, water, and baking soda. You pour the hot liquid in the pie crust, and then drop handfuls of the crumbs into the liquid. If you want it to be dry bottom, gently stir the first few handfuls into the liquid. If you want it to be wet bottom, just leave the crumbs floating on the liquid. I used to bake them all the time until I developed food allergies. Now my daughter bakes them for herself and her dad, as I can't do it anymore. There is a recipe in the Mennonite Community Cookbook, but I'm sure you can find one online.

We ate gooseberries when I was growing up, and they were sour. We would pick and eat them or make desserts like pies/cobblers or put them over a vanilla type cake with fresh cream over them.

Gooseberries are a sour fruit thereby giving a lovely tangy taste to flummeries,pies,jams and just stewed with custard. Not so popular with young folk nowadays but Boomers and older still enjoy them,in UK atleast

This was interesting, even though only a couple are truly "forgotten" especially among home bakers. The very cringey use of "less" instead of "fewer" made me crazy, but I enjoyed seeing all the pies I used to enjoy often.

Sugar cream pie is still going and even the bakeries still sell out

Huckleberry! Quite a few of those pies in the beginning are still popular in rural western PA.

Sugar cream and chess pie are still popular in Indiana

The recipe should be available online or in vintage cookbooks. Independent diner-type restaurants that have a good pie menu may have it too - I had some in a restaurant in Wisconsin recently.

My Mom made cherry-gooseberry pie. I’ve made mincemeat pie with actual meat. Made raisin pie for Fred Hermes (founder of ‘Hermes Chevrolet’ once in New Berlin IL). Helen Wilcox made delicious custard pie. Audrey Marr taught me Kentucky chess (think she called it other than that, added a bit of vinegar and cornmeal) pie. Wanda Courier made Rhubarb pie often. Memories….

Gooseberry pie did not fade away. Gooseberries, currants, and the entire genus they belong to were banned in the US at the start of the 20th century. They're host to a Nasty that is SUPER ++ungood for White Pine, which still makes up a respectable portion of the NorthEast's produce. Im told its a state by state thing, now, but since the English say the bushes are quite happy running feral, im sure a lot of our rural cousins still know them and just dont share ! 🤪

@StamperWendy Strawberry rhubarb is actually describing the young rose colored stalks that are the 1st to come up in spring. It describes the color, not the addition of berries. Somewhere along the line, strawberries were added into the filling. The 2 plants don't peak at the same time of year.

I was saddened to learn that so many deserts have gone out of fashion. 😂

I have had shoofly pie and mincemeat pies at my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving and Christmas during her lifetime. Which was way too short. Her pies were the highlight of the meals. Not store bought ones. Real honest to goodness from scratch homemade pies. Mince pies with mincemeat. She did cut one corner and bought Nonesuch for the fruit part. You cannot even find it in stores anymore. Sad. I did manage to get my old fashioned recipe book from a seller on Ebay. At least now I got an authentic recipe again. Got to get a crock and make a batch. Then can it. Wish I had inherited her recipe box. Wish I had my mother's, too. Sadly, a lot of that got disposed of by my ignorant family. She promised me I would inherit her cookbooks and recipe box. That promise was made when I was a young teenager. Some of my ancestry is from Pennsylvania settlers. Quakers. So, now it makes sense if that is where Shoofly pie came from. Aunt Pudd's table was laden with awesome pies and other goodies, she kept the family traditions alive and sadly when she passed they were lost.

​@@tomsdotter3228That is only the fruit portion, no meat. Nor Brandy. Mincemeat pie filling has minced beef and suet, as well as Brandy as a preservative, a long with candied fruit and peel, spices. It's crocked in a cool place for several weeks prior to using. The Brandy acts as a preservative You can use Nonesuch as a shortcut instead of buying all the rest. Back home in Tennessee they carry Nonesuch at the market in season at certain markets. As well as suet and such. Here in Idaho?! Not.

Look up the green tomato pie (a different recipe) . My sister made green tomato pie. She was blown away that it could actually be good. She brought mom and I a piece. It took a few tries of getting the fork into our mouths, but boy were we surprised. Her recipe called for raisins in it. We didn't care for the (brown ) raisins. I do believe the golden raisins have more of a fruit flavor. The next time she made one she left the raisins out. What a surprise. Really enjoyed it.

Funny thing, tomatoes are actually a fruit - the criteria being they grow on a vine. Avocado is also a fruit as it grows on a tree. Love tomato pie as well. I've had avocado ice cream, too - yum!! Both "fruits" can be sweet or savory and that is why I believe they are God's little cooking/baking miracles.

I never heard of grapefruit merengue pie...interesting. And what do you suppose caused chess pie to be given that name? Green tomato pie..hmmm. This is one of your best videos, it's got so many pies I never heard of - and I am a life-long pie-baker.

Mince meat pie is still going strong in the UK at Christmas time. It is now an individual serving pie and doesn't contain any meat. A pie with minced meat ( ground beef to our American cousins ) in it is called a mince and onion, or whatever else is in the pie ( but only one named extra ). Mince and potato.

I'm definitely going to find some of these pies..

Many of these "lost" pies still are served in diners, pie shops, homes and fairs. Some are regional, some national, but they are still around.

Peach pie is awesome. Great with icecream.

A lot of these pies were never made in bakeries, they were always homemade

I also enjoy whipping up an impossible coconut pie once in a while too!

Mincemeat pies (aka Mince Pies) are a Christmas staple here in the UK, but ours are made much smaller (2-3 inches diameter) so you can eat them in a couple of bites....usually we dust them with caster sugar or icing sugar and for a really rich treat, eat them warm with some brandy butter. Fun fact: even British people often mispronounce "Marlborough" unless they're from the town itself or the area near it....it's pronounced like "Mall-brah" as opposed to "Marl-burra" or "Marl-borro".

Here in Southern Illinois we have what they call a white pie. It's pretty delicious. It's like a vanilla custard, but fluffier because it has whipped egg whites mixed in. It's a favorite at Burton's Cafe in Whittington, IL.

my old fashioned pie is carrot pie. I always make it at Thanksgiving. My son loves it and I make a second pie for him to take home-it is also his birthday present. :-) There are a couple of these pies I would like to try.

Shoefly pie is really good! I had a friend give me some from Pennsylvania Dutch country and it was delicious!

Wow I never had any of these pies! But I would love to get recipes to make some!

Obviously you don’t live near an Amish community. Anyone who lives within 75 miles of an Amish area can get shoofly pie anywhere. Just had some 2 weeks ago. Try it warmed up it’s great.

16:00 oh my !! A try for me!! You saved the best for last 🙏🏻💗

Mincemeat is still eaten at Xmas in England, shops full of them, but they no longer contain actual meat. Just the other ingredients. The original old recipe was with meat, I suppose it was taken to America with the settlers.

I find the mispronunciation pretty funny. You do it often. That and what sounds like sarcasm. Altogether enjoyable, thanks a bunch.

Love Rhubarb pie in Minnesota or Blueberry pie. Yum!

Mincemeat pie is a favorite of mine from childhood.

Chess Pie is alive and well in Louisville, KY! My favorite place to eat Chess Pie is at Mark's Feed Store!

Go to a potluck in the South. You'll see that the chess pie is still very much around.
