It is our firm conviction that the average pie of to-day is the direct cause of more ill-nature and general “cussedness” in mankind than anything else, and that there lurks more solid, downright dyspepsia in a square inch of baker’s pie than in all the other dyspeptic-producing compounds known. The pie we desire to see upon the American table is one that is more the receptable [sic] for fruit than a blending of fruit with puff-paste so soggy that lead would digest almost as easily. When a top crust is used let there be but little of it, and so light and delicate that “fairy footfalls” would break through it.
