It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s six pies and the countries that made them possible.
Originating in the United Kingdom, banoffee pie consists of bananas, whipped cream and a thick caramel sauce, all atop a buttery biscuit pie. The chef of an East Sussex restaurant claims credit for creating the now popular pie. It is so popular, tins of Nestlé’s condensed milk feature a recipe for it on the back. The pie is a great alternative to pumpkin or pecan pie this Thanksgiving. © Ira Taskova | Dreamstime.com
Craving something more savory? Head to South Africa and try Bobotie pie, first documented in a Dutch cookbook in 1609. A fruity and savory pie, Bobotie is filled with beef, mango chutney, curry powder, turmeric, sultanas, almonds and onion. The pie makes a whole meal, but for a holiday feast, it’s best served with turmeric rice and a salad. © Beataaldridge | Dreamstime.com
We’re all familiar with classic cherry pie, an American favorite. But for that traditional lattice cherry pie, look no further than kersenvlaai, a Dutch recipe known for its intricate designs on top. These pies contain Dutch cherries, a tart version perfect for a pie. © Barmalini | Dreamstime.com
Pop over to Greece and indulge in creamy, flaky spanakopita. Packed with spinach and feta, this savory pie hails from Epirus in northwestern Greece. While difficult to trace, the pie has most likely been enjoyed for at least 400 years. The pie is so loved, it made its way across the world, including the United States. © Mypointofview | Dreamstime.com
Taste the best of the Finger Lakes, New York, with Concord grape pie. Often part of harvest traditions in the Finger Lakes, grape pie has become a regional specialty of Western New York. It has become so integral to the area, it is a staple at Naples Grape Festival in New York. © Bhofack2 | Dreamstime.com
Tart and sweet are all part of the package with classic key lime pie. Inextricably linked to the Florida Keys and greater Florida, key lime pie’s star ingredient is, of course, key lime. Together with condensed milk and egg yolks over graham cracker crust, this pie was called Florida’s “most favorite treat” in the 1950s. © Rimma Bondarenko | Dreamstime.com
