Peanut pie

Peanut pie, is a pie that is part of the cuisine of the Southern United States, in the Tidewater region, where peanuts are a common crop. Peanuts arrived in North America in the 18th-century with African slaves. Peanut pie was originally considered a slave food, but by the 1940s peanuts were widely consumed, and an advertisement for corn syrup claimed that peanut pies could “make even your deepest-dyed Yankee start complimenting you with a southern accent.” The pie was popular in Virginia and North Carolina. In North Carolina it was a standard dish to serve at family reunions or church events. It can be served as a kosher dessert. First lady Rosalynn Carter was known for her peanut meringue pie.
