Editing Pie (section)

===19th century===
During the 19th century, pies became, according to food historian Janet Clarkson, "universally esteemed" in a way that other foods were not.<ref name=":0" /> In 1806 [[Maria Rundell|Mrs Rundell]] in her Observations on Savoury Pies in [[A New System of Domestic Cookery]] stated that 'There are few articles of cookery more generally liked than relishing pies, if properly made'. [[Alexis Soyer]], a celebrity cook of the 19th century said in his book ''Shilling Cookery for the People'' (1860) "From childhood we eat pies - from girlhood to boyhood we eat pies - in fact, pies in England may be considered as one of our best companions du voyage through life. It is we who leave them behind, not they who leave us; for our children and grandchildren will be as fond of pies as we have been; therefore it is needful that we should learn how to make them, and make them well! Believe me, I am not jesting, but if all the spoilt pies made in London on one single Sunday were to be exhibited in a row beside a railway line, it would take above an hour by special train to pass in review these culinary victims".<ref name=":0" />
