Pastry making goes as far back as the Neolithic Period.  These round, flat cakes were first known as “galettes.”  Our ancestors made these pie-like treats with oat, wheat, rye, and barley, then filled them with honey and baked the dish over hot coals (Montagne, 490).

The tradition of galettes was carried on by the Greeks.  Yet, this ancient people ingeniously realized that the galette idea served as a perfect vehicle to cook raw meat.  So, they created pies with the popular meats and fruits of the time.  But, presumably from losing some teeth, the Greeks learned not to eat the hard, tough, pasty crust and merely use it as a pan.

This early Greek version of the pie was later adopted by the Romans upon conquering Greece.  The pie idea was spread throughout the continent as the Roman Empire was created.  The pies during this period were marked by a flour-water paste wrapped around meat; this dually served to cook the meat and seal in the juices.  In fact, the Roman statesman Marcus Porcius Cato recorded his era’s most popular pie, “placenta” (De l’agricultura, 9).  Well, now that we're all nauseous, at least we now know that pies were consumed in the 2nd century B.C.
