Pecan Pie : Pecan pie is a sweet custard pie. It is made up chiefly from corn syrup and pecan nuts. It is a tremendously classless dessert readied and serviced during important US holidays like Thanks giving, Christmas. It has a sweet and a very nutty feel with a custard like grain. Though it originated in the southern part of the USA but since early 20th century its popularity has headed immensely and has grown the Pan American dessert. What causes the pecan pie a truly American dessert? well reply is not too far, the term pecan devived and grown from the American Indian word 'Pecan' which means “nut to be cracked with rock”. Some former French settlers in New Orleans got acquainted to pecan nuts by the native-born Indians, it got their creative juices flow and pecan pie was the tasty resultant. Small communities of Quinipissa and Tangipahoa Indians existed at that time in present day New Orleans. The first French settler to this place was sieur de La Salle,who came here in 1682.His visit was soon accompanied up by different French adventurer Jean Baptiste Le Moyne in 1699. Another prominent French settler sieur de Bienville,who was governor of Louisiana, visited New Orleans and liked it so much that he created a colony in 1718.He christened this newborn village Nouvelle Orleans. Thus foundation was laid for this hot dish to be whipped up in a French settlers kitchen for the very first time. And who experienced at that time this marriage of European Pie with the native American fixings would bring about such a revolution in American palette in the 20th century. Pecans have a long long story in the part. millions of pecan plants are observed on the banks of major Rivers, streams and irrigation canals in Texas and north of Mexico. Even fossil remains of pecan plants were also witnessed there. So established on this evidence we can resolve that these pecan trees existed long before native-born Indians moved here and that these plants were awaiting for their fruits to be identified by some body who could creatively utilize them and make some thing wonderfully delicious which is proper to their lone taste and smell. After all this specific taste was produced by them after standing patiently for many a thousand years. Not only that these pecan plants played a epoch-making role in yielding a Pan American fiber to the people coming from divergent countries ,parts ,ethnicities and faith. In the modern times first recipe of pecan pie appeared some where between 1925 and 1940.Some notable cook books are dead sure of first recipe being published in year 1940.Today pecan pie has overtaken the imagination of entire American nation. It has been endorsed by all the communities who came to live here from all the parts of the world. Now many versions have appeared in pecan pie like chocolate pecan pie ,chocolate chips pecan pie,sweet potato pecan pie.But nothing could beat the traditional New Orleans pecan pie.
