Pecan pie is a sweet custard pie. It is readied mainly from corn syrup and pecan nuts. It is a enormously general dessert prepared and serviced during great US holidays like Thanks giving, Christmas. It has a sweet and a very nutty smell with a custard like grain. Though it started in the southern part of the USA but since early 20th century its popularity has grown immensely and has become the Pan American dessert. What causes the pecan pie a truly American dessert? well reply is not too far, the term pecan devived and started from the American Indian word 'Pecan' which means “nut to be cracked with rock”. Some early French settlers in New Orleans got familiarized to pecan nuts by the native Indians, it made their creative juices flow and pecan pie was the fruity resultant. Small communities of Quinipissa and Tangipahoa Indians existed at that time in present day New Orleans. The first French colonist to this place was sieur de La Salle,who came here in 1682.His visit was shortly accompanied up by some other French explorer Jean Baptiste Le Moyne in 1699. Another outstanding French settler sieur de Bienville,who was governor of Louisiana, visited New Orleans and liked it so much that he made a colony in 1718.He christened this recent small town Nouvelle Orleans. Thus foundation was laid for this choice dish to be whipped up in a French settlers kitchen for the very first time. And who knew at that time this marriage of European Pie with the native American fixings would contribute about such a revolution in American palette in the 20th century. Pecans have a long long history in the realm. millions of pecan plants are witnessed on the banks of leading Rivers, flows and irrigation canals in Texas and north of Mexico. Even fossil remains of pecan plants were also noticed there. So founded on this evidence we can resolve that these pecan trees lived on long before native Indians moved here and that these plants were waiting for their fruits to be identified by some body who could creatively use them and prepare some thing marvelously fabulous which is appropriate to their singular taste and flavor. After all this particular taste was found by them after standing patiently for many a thousand years. Not only that these pecan plants played a significant function in giving a Pan American fiber to the individuals coming from diverse countries ,parts ,ethnicities and religion. In the modern times first formula of pecan pie came along some where between 1925 and 1940.Some famed cook books are dead sure of first recipe being published in year 1940.Today pecan pie has captured the imagination of entire American nation. It has been certified by all the communities who came to live here from all the parts of the world. Now many editions have come out 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.
