Lamenta D. [Watkins] Crouch was born in 1947 in Greenbay, Virginia, in Prince Edward County, about ninety miles from Richmond. During her childhood she spent many Sundays eating at other people’s homes as the daughter of a father who served as a local pastor and a pastor at several churches out of town. For dessert southerners in Virginia served Lamenta Crouch and her family pound cake, chess pie, and “very rarely apple pie.” Before doing research for my book Hog and Hominy http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/listings/090411/ I had never heard of chess pie. There are many theories of where the name comes from (English for cheese or custard type pies or a southern pie chess where folks stored pies) but know one really knows. I thought perhaps others might be interested in trying this traditional southern custard pie recipe that taste best when served with coffee as part of your Thanksgiving Day meal. Below find a traditional Chess Pie Recipe. But there are recipes for lemon http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/lemon-chess-pie-684880/or chocolate chess pies http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chess-Pie-I/Detail.asp.
