The amazing pie

The other day I visited my friend's restaurant and it was spectacular. It was an amazing pie consisting of three main ingredients from the Columbian exchange. It was a combination of pineapples, peach, and squash. It was exquisite, unique, and very tasteful. The peach, for a start, was brought to America by cultivating Spanish explorers in the 15^th to 16^th century. It was also eventually brought to specific parts of England and France in the 17^th century. George Minifie brought the first peach to England and then brought them to the new world in the early 17^th century. He planted them in his estate in Buckland of Virginia. They were not largely grown until the 19^th century where many farmers started to grow them.

Pineapple was another major ingredient in the amazing pie I was given. The plant was indigenous to south America between southern brazil from the domesticated peoples. Charles the second was the person who grew the first pineapple in England in 1675. Columbus was the one who actually discovered it. He brought it back. He called it the pine of the Indians.

One of the other ingredients was squash. It really tied the whole meal together and made it complete. Squash was part of the new world since agriculture was first started prior to arrival of the new explorers. The plant was their even before anyone was there.
