Comments

Chess pie is a southern pie, and is really rich, there are all kinds of variations to it, some people put regular milk or canned milk (evaporated milk, as you non southerns call it ) in it, some people put whipped cream in it, some people put flour in it instead of cornmeal. Some people do not put the vinegar in it. But this is how I like it. So there. Ha. Sissy
