Teresa, you tease!

I want a piece of pumpkin pie right now! Great image, Teresa.

I'm with Telly. I had my whipped cream on the side and, knowing me, probably straight from the can.

I'm an apple pie person. My family eats it with vanilla ice cream and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the side. I've only found one other person who eats it like that and I was in the mlitary for 14 years so I meet people from all over. Anyone ever heard of it? Great puzzle.

Why do some people serve cheddar cheese with apple pie?
The practice of combining cheese, fruit, and nuts dates back to ancient times. These were often served at the end of a meal because they were thought to aid in digestion. From the earliest days through the Renaissance, the partaking of these foods was generally considered a priviledge of the wealthy. This practice was continued by wealthy dinners composed of many courses up until the 19th century. Apples and cheesemaking were introduced to the New World by European settlers. These people also brought with them their recipes and love for certain combinations. This explains the popular tradition of apple pie and cheddar cheese in our country.

"The dark ages...The main meal was taken around the middle of the day...In the evening a light supper was taken and this was always finished with a little hard cheese, for digestion's sake. Gradually the large mid-day meal was later taken until that meal, wine-drinking and the cheese supper were combined. Thus was born the British habit of finishing an evening meal with cheese; almost every other society has eaten cheese before the sweet course to finish their main wine, or instead of a sweet."
---Cheese: A Guide to the World of Cheese and Cheesemaking, Bruno Battistotti et al [Facts on File Publications:New York] 1983 (p. 14-5)

"'After meat, [serve] pears, nuts, strawberries, wineberries and hard cheese, also blanderelles, pippins [apples].' All were considered hard or astringent, and therefore suitable to close up the stomache again after eating. Even so, apples and pears when taken at the end of the meal were usually roasted, and eaten with sugar, comfits, fennel seed or aniseed 'because of their ventosity.' Ordinary folk ate fruit as and when they could get it. The poor people in Piers Plowman sought to poison hunger with baked apples..."

wow Jota...wanna do some strawberries and whip cream wiff me? ;)

Always my dear !

thanks, Jota. I never knew any of that.

UR Welcome Sarah!

A very satisfying puzzle, Teresa!

Thanks, JoDeen. This was one of my very first puzzles.

I confess. I had a piece of pie when you weren't looking and of course, I had to have some whipped cream with it. Before I knew it, the whipped cream was gone. Sorry!

Thank you so much for a lovely solve! I am glad I found your puzzles (just solved your first one earlier today) because I like the clear pictures and the mild challenge, but not so hard they are frustrating. Elegant puzzles!
