What does it mean to be "American as apple pie"?

What does it mean to be American as apple pie? Some trace the connection to the legend of Johnny Appleseed, who prepared the West for settlement by planting apple trees wherever he wandered. Some trace it to the apple orchards of colonial America, how apple cider was at one time safer to drink than water, how its edible container of pastry made apple pie a practical choice for schoolchildren and field- workers. Pie is a treat of European origin, brought over by colonialists and adapted to suit the so-called New World. We didn’t invent pie; we invented American pie. “Mom and apple pie ” is slang for “something good and right we can all agree on,” gifted to American English by soldiers during World War II, who supposedly used this as a stock answer for why they went to war. “American as motherhood and apple pie ” was the next—and most audacious—version of the phrase. Staking national claim to motherhood suggests we can make something American simply by saying that it is. My impulse is to complicate the phrase, apply it to things that are less stereotypical, less nationalistic. To make the cliché interesting again is to play with what American and apple pie can be. John Lehndorff, former executive director of the American Pie Council, puts it well: “When you say that something is ‘as American as apple pie,’ what you’re really saying is that the item came to this country from elsewhere and was transformed into a distinctly American experience.” The cliché can signal what it attempts to conceal: there is nothing easy about presuming what American means, then or now. We expect apple pie to be a comfort, not a challenge. It reminds us of a time when all food was homemade, when “just like Grandma used to make ” wasn’t a useful advertising slogan because Grandma actually used to make . . . whatever it was. But the slogan has been used to sell food since the late 1800s—far before our grand- mothers’ time—which means the only thing true about that truism is how much we want to eat food made with love. That’s nostalgia at work, whitewashing the past. Nostalgia’s etymology is homecoming layered with ache. It’s the thing that defines Americana—an attraction to things past, a longing for simpler, better times that may not have ever existed. Apple pie makes nostalgia edible. Therein lies its genius. As a crown relic of Americana, apple pie doesn’t have to be novel to be interesting, which is saying something for a culture obsessed with all things new. While its cultural importance can be generalized by cliché, its culinary importance is sincere: apple pie reminds us that homemade food sustains us in deep, hard-to-describe ways. The time and skill it takes to make a pie shows us that we are cared for. That it’s not about having time, but about making it. Through the rituals of language and dessert, what apple pie was is also what it is: homespun, authentic, and humble, a food that uses the fruits of harvest while symbolizing the agricultural roots of our nation, a sweet that satisfies like a meal, nurturing while it treats. Excerpted from Pie School: Lessons in Fruit, Flour, and Butter by Kate Lebo

[sasquatchbooks]

When I say pie alone isn't what moves us, that the "thing" about pie isn't tellable, I mean that food is never just about food. Its offering is deeper than appetite and deeper than words. Maybe pie is a vehicle for love. Maybe it is love, made edible by an oven's worth of heat, an hour's worth of time.

Prompts-o-Rama

Are you trapped in a serious case of NaNoWriMo writer's block? Try these prompts that Kim Werker offers in her new book, Make It Mighty Ugly. These prompts are a great way to jumpstart any project, whether it's a novel, a painting, or a crocheted monster that needs a backstory. There’s a hill over there. Go look on the other side of it. What do you see? It’s three in the morning; there’s a knock on your window. It is freezing. What do you do about it? That’s not a monkey; it’s a robot! Uh oh, the basement’s flooded. What now? Around the corner is an act of crime. And just then, you hear a babbling creek. Hey, what’s in that secret notebook? That’s not a sunrise; it’s a sunset. How might this go better without a sprained ankle? Mmm. Delicious, delicious brains. These brains taste so ____. The music playing in the background is almost too loud to make out. You squint and hold on to the back of the bar stool and try to figure out why it sounds so familiar. You open your eyes and see them. There’s a three-legged dog running down the middle of the street. You think _____. What would Buffy do? The coach is shouting in the dugout. You can’t quite make out the words, but you think she’s yelling _____. And then a cat saunters in. What if this all were happening in the nuclear winter? Can this project be personified? How does it taste? Turn right ninety degrees. Inject some make-believe: a magic wand, a Pegasus, a space alien, a talking toad. Suddenly, it’s all covered in gold. The raft starts to drift toward shore.

[sasquatchbooks]

When you have no idea how to even think of what to make, ASK FOR DIRECTIONS. Find a kid, preferably—one of your own or someone else’s that you see relatively frequently, so they can hold you to your promise to make the thing—and ask them what they’d like you to make. Make no promise to them other than that you’ll make it . . .

Take a deep breath, sharpen your sword.”
