fruit flavor without the fruit

apparently this was an actual recipe from the ww2 time? at least it's mentioned in this video. watch it btw, it's hilarious. it's about why it's basically impractical to recycle plastic.

interesting. yeah pie was as important as steel and roads because it's a significant source of calories in the population, and if you wanna have a strong population around 1900, you gotta feed it pie.

Is it just like, bread all the way through? I might actually fucks with that. Cobbler's only deal breaker for me was the soggy bread/fruit mush

I would just about bet the texture is similar, but maybe more uniform. I think the goal is to make a goopy sweet and tart syrup reduction that’s vaguely reminiscent of what a proper fruit pie filling would be like, and then construct a cobbler the usual way.

Damn. People do love eating goop I guess

If you skipped the sugar and instead added some salt, and a little cheese, this would be lovely meal (p.s. I am British).

Only brit-ish

A real brit would never put salt, spice or any flavour enhancers in their food

Edit: my no-true-scotsman was too spicy it seems
