Occurring close to Presidents Day in the USA, the annual Cherry Pie Day is certainly a nod to George Washington and his apocryphal cherry tree story. Cherries were one of the first president’s favorite foods and the cherry pie came to the Americas with early English settlers. Some British historians claim the first cherry pie was actually served to Queen Elizabeth 1.
