Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the delectably tart pie which is known as the official state pie of Florida?

Answer: Key Lime Pie

The tasty Key Lime Pie originated in the Florida Keys in the early 20th century. It is a simple pie to make using only sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and the juice of the locally grown key limes. When you combine lime juice and sweetened, condensed milk it sort of cooks itself, without the need for heat. Egg yolks are added to give help this mix set, and to add body.

As key lime juice is clear, the egg yolks also give the pie its yellow color. If you are served key lime pie that is green you can be sure you are not getting the original recipe.

This dessert was created using the products readily available on the islands before the advent of electrical kitchens, and when produce had to be shipped over by boat. Because of the potential of Salmonella bacteria, it best to use a more modern recipe that calls for the pie to be cooked and brings the temperature of the yolks up to at least 110 degrees.
2. Which one of the following spices are you unlikely to find in your holiday pumpkin pie recipe?

Answer: Paprika

Pumpkin pie is probably one of the healthiest dessert pies you can make. It is usually made in a regular pie crust and baked without a top crust. It is usually made with cooked pumpkin that has been mashed, some milk, sugar, and spices such as cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

While there may be a variety of recipes, it is unlikely that you will find one that calls for paprika. Similar pies can be made with the same recipe using squash or sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin. Yummy!
3. What is the name of this fancy top crust often seen on fruit pies?

Answer: Lattice crust

Lattice crusts are a popular choice for homemade fruit pies. Strips of pie crust dough are simply woven across the top of the pie. The exact location of origination is not known but it is thought to be of European origin. It is usually done for aesthetic purposes and it also allows air circulation around the fruit, cooking it slightly quicker.
4. Apple pie was invented by Native Americans and introduced to European settlers at the first Thanksgiving.

Answer: False

This is false, false, false. Apples originated in Central Asia and have been eaten in Eurasian countries for centuries. There were thousands of recipes involving apples, spices and crusts, long before Europeans migrated to North America. It was these European settlers who brought the first apples/apple trees to North America.

The only type of apple native to North America is known as the crabapple, which is a small, tart, fruit that is very rarely eaten raw. It is sometimes used in ciders or sauces.

It looks more like a cherry than an apple. Despite these historical facts, apple pie is considered an icon of American.
5. What is the name of the red stalked vegetable that is often cooked with strawberries in a strawberry pie?

Answer: Rhubarb

Often called a "pie plant", rhubarb adds a nice tartness to a strawberry pie recipe. Unlike other fruit pies, the strawberry and strawberry/rhubarb pie are commonly made with and without a top crust. It is the bakers choice. Most fruit pies always have some type of top crust.

This type of pie is popular in the southern areas of the U.S. and has grown in popularity around the world, where both plants are available.
6. Now for a treat I have never had. What is the name of the English dessert pie whose primary ingredients are bananas, crème, and toffee?

Answer: Banoffi pie

Banoffi pie sounds simply delicious. With ingredients that include bananas, toffee, and crème sounds hard to resist. Some recipes call for chocolate or coffee to be added to the recipe! Is your mouth watering yet? The earliest mentions of this pie date to around 1971 when it was called banoffee pie.

It is usually prepared with a single regular pie crust and is sometimes topped with whipped crème or vanilla ice cream in order to make it even more decadent.
7. Which of the following is a scrumptious pie that originated in the state of Kentucky and is made with chocolate, pecans and bourbon?

Answer: Derby pie

The delicious derby pie is one of the palate pleasers associated with the Kentucky Derby. It is a single crust pie filled with a mixture of chocolate, walnuts, and some fine Kentucky bourbon. Some variations will add caramel, butterscotch, or pecans. The exact original recipe is trademarked and held in secret by the Kern family who at one time owned an establishment known as Kern's Kitchen, and is credited as the creators of this pie recipe in 1950.

While the exact ingredients are not known for sure, the ones that are known make for a very yummy sounding dessert.
8. Despite their names, which one of the following options is the only one that would actually be considered a dessert pie?

Answer: Chess pie

Chess pie is part of cuisine of the "Deep South" areas of America. It is a single crust pie that is made with eggs butter, lots of sugar and cornmeal. The final texture is somewhat like a pecan pie without the nuts. Some recipes add a tablespoon of vinegar to the recipe making it tart and changing the name of the pie to a Kentucky pie.

It is sometimes served with whipped crème or vanilla ice cream and a cup of strong coffee. Do we have your mouth watering yet?
9. Which of these things should you expect to find in a mince pie?

Answer: Both

There are many variations of mince pie, which is thought to have originated in the British Islands as far back as the 14th century. Some of the ingredients found in recipes include veal, mutton, or beef as well as raisins, dates, currants, apples, and prunes.

These ingredients are highly spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, cloves, and orange peel. This is a popular pie often served during the Christmas season. Some recipes use only fruit while others use both. While the ingredients may sound a little unusual, try a slice of this pie for a unique taste experience.
10. What is the common name for the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch molasses pie that is often associated with the Amish church?

Answer: Shoofly pie

The shoofly pie is often described at a coffeecake in a pie shell with a gooey molasses bottom. It is usually eaten warm and has been served in the area for at least 300 years. It is believed to be a variation of the British treacle tart. This is a single crust pie with a crumbly top that has a unique flavor that has been associated with the Amish culture for generations.

Some cookbooks claim that the name of the pie is derived from having to shoo flies away from this sweet treat.
