Why were 17th-century pies so bizarrely shaped?
May 6, 2015
My friend Tom Nealon, bookseller and food and cookbook historian, came to me with an intriguing question: could I think of any reason why mid-17th century pies were so oddly shaped? I asked him a number of questions and gave it some thought, but a possible answer hit me while I was loading paper into a photocopier, and it reminded me of something visible on my daily commute through Boston.
