As I have noted when talking about my baked pumpkin mücver, pumpkin is both a symbol of Halloween and of Thanksgiving in the States. Pumpkin pie is a must on Thanksgiving tables, and the idea of this celebration that takes place on the 4th Thursday of each November, is blessing the coming year and the abundance of its crops.
Pumpkin was first grown in Central America around 5.500 BC. It was one of the first food item brought from the New World by the European explorers. UK where the pie culture goes long ways back in history, pumpkin was immediately utilized. One can very easily find pumpkin pie recipes in the cook books of the 17th century. It is assumed that this specific pie found its way to the States with the first British settlers.
