We love us some pumpkin pie. It’s one of the best parts of Thanksgiving. The pilgrims ― the original trendsetters ― were also fans of this custardy pie, but the pie they likely enjoyed looks very little like the one we bake up today.
For one, there was no crust ― it was baked inside the shell of the gourd. Two, there was a whole lot more pumpkin in it. And three, it took a lot longer to bake. But we have to admit, it looks delicious.
