I named this “swamp” pie as a nod to British food writers who use such great language to describe food — and because it really is like a cream and pastry swamp. And I compared the process of poking a funnel through the baked crust and pouring in fresh cream to flooding a mine. Both of these things seemed to speak to our community, because it was one of the first posts I’ve written where a bunch of readers ran out and baked the pie the very next day.
