Shoofly Pie
Shoofly pie is a type of American pie made with molasses associated with Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. While shoo-fly pie has been a staple of Moravian, Mennonite and Amish foodways, there is scant evidence concerning its origins, and most of the folktales concerning the pie are legendary, including the persistent legend that the name comes from flies being attracted to the sweet filling. The name "shoo-fly pie" was borrowed from a brand of molasses that was popular in parts of the US during the late 19th century. Possibly related to the Jenny Lind pie (a soft gingerbread pie), it may have originated among the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1880s as molasses crumb cake, and is sometimes called ''molasses crumb pie''. It was traditionally served not as a dessert pie, but as a breakfast food with hot coffee. The modern form of shoofly pie as a crumb cake served in pie crust was a post-Civil War innovation, when cast iron cookware and stoves made pie crust more accessible for home cooks ...

Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me
''Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me'' or ''Shew! fly, don't bother me'' is a minstrel show song from the 1860s that has remained popular since that time. It was sung by soldiers during the Spanish–American War of 1898, when flies and the yellow fever mosquito were a serious enemy. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album ''Join Bing and Sing Along'' (1959). Today, it is commonly sung by children, and has been recorded on many children's records, including '' Disney Children's Favorite Songs 3'', performed by Larry Groce and the Disneyland Children's Sing-Along Chorus. Composition The song became popular on the minstrel stage in 1869, and several claims have been made for its composition. An anonymously written 1895 New York ''Herald'' article on the history of minstrel show dancing gave this history: Theater historian Eugene Cropsey also credited Dan Bryant with introducing the song to the public in October, 1869.Cropsey, Eugene HCrosby's Opera House: symbol of Chicago's ...
