Over thanksgiving I ate my favorite food PUMPKIN PIE. Pumpkin pie is the best dessert ever and is enjoyed many times a year at my house. Pumpkin Pies are pies so they are made from crust which is which is made from wheat and other things. Then pumpkin filling, sugar, milk, salt whipped cream, cream cheese, cinnamon, and ginger are added into the crust and baked to create the most wonderful dessert known to man. Pumpkin pie has history all over the world from the pilgrims of the new world all the way to global advancements in this age old creation by European chiefs.
The Columbian Exchange is the process in which culture, food, and disease was transferred between old and new world over sea trade and colonization. The ingredients used to make a delicious pumpkin pie had to be brought together by this process. The spices used in pumpkin pie were transferred old to new. The cream cheese and whipped cream is transferred old to new. So were the milk and eggs and the actual pumpkin. So as we eat a wonderful slice of pumpkin pie it is important to remember that if the Columbian exchange never occurred pumpkin pie would have never been created by the pilgrims and never enjoyed by so many people worldwide.
