Oliver Cromwell banned the eating of pie in 1644. To be fair, it wasn't as if he had a personal grudge against pie, rather for Pagans. He and the Parliament banned Christmas, which had the misfortunate and poorly misunderstood pie caught in the crossfires of religious suppression. For 16 years, pie eating and making went underground until the Restoration leaders lifted the ban on pie in 1660, along with the ban on Christmas, two years after Cromwell's death. What makes matters kind of funny, National Blueberry Pie Day is April 28th, coincidentally three days after Cromwell's birthday.
