Boston Creme Pie is not really pie. Created by French chef M. Sanzian at Boston's Parker House Hotel, opened in 1855, this pudding /cake combination comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla custard or crème pâtissière.
It was served to us by two Boston natives, Michael and Peter, now living in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Peter and Michael have an impressive collection of turquoise jewelry. An expert can tell the mine of origin of the jewelry by the color, from green and greenish blue to sky blue. Click here to read more about the history of turquoise.
