但是,南瓜派是如何与感恩节紧密联系在一起的呢?这与萨拉·约瑟法·黑尔有关。她是出生于新罕布什尔州的作家和编辑,经常被称为“感恩节的教母”。在她1827年的废奴主义小说《诺斯伍德》中,黑尔描述了一顿感恩节大餐,包括“浸在肉汁里的炸鸡”、烤火腿、小麦面包、蔓越莓酱,当然还有南瓜派。在后来的三十多年里,黑尔一直主张把感恩节定为全国性节日,并且定期发表社论,还给五位美国总统写过信。她认为,在这个日益分裂的国家,感恩节是一种团结的象征。
Abraham Lincoln eventually declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 (to near-immediate outcry from Southerners, who viewed the holiday as an attempt to enforce Yankee values). Southern governors reluctantly complied with the presidential proclamation, but cooks in the South developed their own unique regional traditions. In the South, sweet potato pie quickly became more popular than New England’s pumpkin pie (mostly because sweet potatoes were easier to come by than pumpkins). Now, pumpkin pie reigns supreme as the most popular holiday pie across most of the United States, although the Northeast prefers apple and the South is split between apple and pecan, another Southern staple.
最终,亚伯拉罕·林肯在1863年宣布感恩节为全国性节日(这立即引起了南方人的强烈抗议,因为他们认为这是北方佬试图把他们的价值观强加在他们身上)。南方的州长们不情愿地遵守了总统的公告,但是当地的厨师们却发展出了他们自己独特的传统。在南方,红薯派比新英格兰的南瓜派更受欢迎(主要是因为在南方红薯比南瓜更好种)。现在,南瓜派在美国大部分地区都是最受欢迎的节日派,尽管东北部地区更喜欢苹果派,南部地区则更喜欢苹果派和另一种南方主食——山核桃派。
