    Bet you didn't know that in the early 1900s, America was locked in an unexpected cultural showdown: the battle over pie. Traditionalists defended it as a household essential, while reformers warned it was “an American evil,” blaming it for bad skin, sour stomachs, and even moral decline.

    Curious how a simple dessert sparked a national moral panic? Take a closer look:

      It's funny, when I hear 'pie', I think of steak and kidney, or beef. When I was a kid, my mum would make apple crumble, which is similar to apple crisp, as a dessert, but we'd call it a pudding rather than a pie.

      I was only joking

        Apple Crisp was standard in our house. It is more of a pudding than a pie.
