WEST SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS: The Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine will again sell Pie Cones™ this year in the Maine Building at the Eastern States Exposition (The Big E). From September 13 to September 29, wild Maine blueberries will be served with a creamy cheesecake filling in another Maine specialty, the Pie Cone™. This handheld pie with its distinctive, crisp yet flaky crust is the invention of thrifty Mainers. A supremely sensible group, folks from Down East value their environment and also don't like waste. The Pie Cone™ was created so that the busy shopper, fairgoer, even passengers on a tour bus or in a car, could enjoy the pie experience without the bother of throwaway paper plates and plastic forks. Filled much like an ice cream cone, the Pie Cone™ is topped with whipped cream and served with a single napkin. You can easily walk, talk, and explore the Big E while savoring this unusual and tasty Maine dessert. The Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine will also feature two other delicious ways to enjoy wild Maine blueberries: blueberry sundaes and blueberry muffins. The booth will be open 10 AM9 PM each day. |
