Today is March 14th, also known as “Pi” day because the numerical date is 3.14, which are the first numbers of the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
But the day is also used to celebrate it’s confectionary “namesake.”
Each state boasts its signature pie, an edible emblem of its culture and local produce, transcending what you can find on just any shelf across the country.
How far would you be willing to drive for that perfect pie?
Mixbook, a #1 rated photobook company, ran a survey of 3,000 devoted pie aficionados to discover how far they would be prepared to travel for that perfect pie experience – that is – savoring a state’s signature pie right where it belongs.
Massachusetts came in first place with Boston Cream Pie at 2 Hours 32 Minutes, and was the nation’s overall top pick.
Texas came in 5th with our signature Pecan Pie from our state tree, at 2 Hours 23 Minutes. This Texan staple, with its rich filling of pecans, eggs, butter, and sugar, set in a flaky crust, embodies the soul of Southern desserts. Often served with whipped cream, its indulgent, nutty flavor is a testament to Texas’ culinary heritage, making it a sought-after treat.
