(urth) Short story 2: The Case of the Vanishing ghost

[Marc Aramini]

I quoted some facts from shoofly pie, this is what it said:

Shoofly pie is a fluffy molasses pie considered traditional among the Pennsylvania Dutch and also known in Southern cooking

 
The term "shoo-fly pie" first appeared in print in 1926. The pie may get its name because the molasses attracts flies that must be "shooed" away.
