Graham crackers also vinegar pie

I had always thought that graham crackers were so named because of the type of flour, but the flour is so named after Sylvester Graham. Learning something new everyday from food network.

*** On the same program as the making of s'mores was the vinegar pie. Gale Gand (I suppose she is the host of "Sweet Dreams" )never had heard of vinegar pie. A guest made the pie, but Gale spent time at the end talking about her s'mores without getting her opinion about the pie or tasting it. I thought she was a bore about the 'smore (shakespeare).

The pie maker on this program is a connoisseur of vinegar pies and similar pies of the past and present. He explained that grandma didn't have balsamic, nor lemons/limes, hence the use of vinegar. But the reason for his balsamic - according to my deduction as well as him saying that it made a great tasting filling -- was that he added on the top of it (in a nice little circle) a circle of strawberries, then raspberries, then inside some type of mint, that I didn't get the name of - something like 'mo' mint. He explained a standard Italian (I believe he said Italian) gourmet-tasting dessert is strawberries and balsamic. I have a cousin who likes fine food and he was recently ecstatic when he discovered strawberries and balsamic. I believe there are other cultures that use fruit with black pepper and exotic spices -- is this India?

Anyway, my report comes to a conclusion on vinegar pie. Tee hee. Dee Dee
