Did you know:
- Coconut Cream Pie Day is celebrated on 8th May each year in the US.
- Coconut took the US by storm when a Philadelphia flour miller received a shipment of coconuts as payment of a debt from a Cuban businessman. In 1895, he set up a factory for shredding and drying his coconut meat and singlehandedly put coconut into the hands of Americans. Recipes for coconut cream pie start showing up in cookbooks almost immediately, and by the early 1900s, coconut cream pie was everywhere[1].
