Dinner Pies

The history of pies is certainly interesting and varied. For example, the pies that Romans ate at elaborate banquets were used as showpieces at the dinner. Meat and Fish pies became fairly popular in 14th century England and the fruit pies, often called tarts, became popular in the 16th century. Once the British settlers came to America, the tradition of pie making continued, but since new ingredients were found in the Americas, they began making such pies as pumpkin and cranberry.
