Chess Pie. Never heard of it? It's a southern thing. The name could refer to men playing chess, but it's more likely that it refers to a "chest" pie-- one that could be stored in the pie chest. Or, it could refer to lemon curd "cheese pie" from the UK. Or, it could be what a northerner heard when a southerner told them it was "just pie."
I can see it now.
"This lovely custard pie is divine. What do you call it? "
"Oh, dear-- it's jes' pie!"
Well, really. Who gives a damn, because it is GOOD. And, with my current obsession with all edibles from the south (I made my very first attempt at Fried chicken a couple weeks ago.), and my fond rememberance of the pie from my mother's kitchen, I decided to give it a go.
My version? Jack Daniels Chess Pie.
I made it in a bigger pie pan than I should of, so the custard a bit thinner than it could have been, but DANG if the cornmeal crust didn't make up for it. A 1/4 c. of JD in the custard didn't hurt either.
*twirls around* This midlife crisis of mine may be bad for the hips, but it's heaven on the lips.
I plan to make a pecan pie later this week. I AM turning 34, you know, pecan IS my favorite.
