Bert Greene wasn't even born yet! The book is called "The Memorial Hall Cookbook." It was published in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The recipe itself was written by Mrs. J. Dyre Moyer from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. She was born in the 1870s. This is a recipe originating from southeastern Pennsylvania (most likely the Montgomery County area). The recipe has Pennsylvania written all over it, especially with the molasses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-7972309362762152482021-09-29T20:27:57.838-04:002021-09-29T20:27:57.838-04:00Just bought one at Roots in Manheim at one of the ...Just bought one at Roots in Manheim at one of the bakery stalls Peggi Billmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461870149914730885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-1774756034227365552013-07-16T21:52:32.439-04:002013-07-16T21:52:32.439-04:00In Hagerstown, MD, I used to buy them at Martin...In Hagerstown, MD, I used to buy them at Martin's Supermarkets.

He ordered a piece of pie and upon his return home, he tried to contact the cook to ask for the recipe, but never got a response. He called the hotel manager only to learn that the cook couldn’t read or write, and there was no recipe. Greene returned to Montgomery and stood with the wonderful lady in her kitchen as she made the pie and recorded the recipe so that others could enjoy Montgomery pie.

Probably worth asking around at Reading Terminal. There is a Amish bakery there if you enter from the Filbert street side and walk across it should be on your right, you walk right past it.James Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216008583681422260noreply@blogger.com
