In fact, apple pie was not created by Americans at all, but was brought by English Puritans in16th century. Before that, Europeans had long been used to eating all kinds of pies and baking any food with no conflict in taste in a container with a pie bottom.
But why do you feel that Americans have occupied the word deeply now?
It is said that during the colonial period, American farmers were asked to make apple pie according to the prescription given by the British to the colonists with status and status. One day, a peasant woman in eastern Pennsylvania encountered a situation that the stuffing was almost gone, but there was still a lot of dough, so she thickened the bottom of the pie without authorization, and the remaining dough simply covered the stuffing and made several cuts to let it breathe when baking. Unexpectedly, the pies made in this way were very popular, and people from other states flocked to ask for recipes. After returning to China, they continued to innovate and spread on this basis, so there were the representative desserts of blueberry pie in Maine and lime pie in Florida.
For people in that period of history, it not only created a delicious pie with a cover, but also gave birth to a sense of national pride, which is also the reason why the apple pie can't be absent on July 4. How much do Americans love apple pie? Thomas Jefferson had his own private recipe. Ben Franklin liked pies and planted apple trees in his backyard. Martha Washington, the first wife of the United States, had to eat apple pie at diplomatic banquets.
Someone once joked that during World War II, a reporter asked an American soldier: Why did you go to war? A: For mom and apple pie (for mom! For apple pie! Therefore, "America Like Apple Pie" not only expresses Americans' love for apple pie, but also implies the national struggle story inherited by apple pie.
Speaking of European and American pop music, one singer has to mention it, that is, Justin Timberlake! Justin Timberlake, born in 198 1+3 1, was hailed as Michael Jackson's successor ten years ago. At the height of his music career, he started various sideline businesses, including fashion, science and technology, record companies and golf courses, and was called Boss Jia by China fans.
Boss Jia was born with a good voice and made his mark in various singing competitions at an early age. Later, I went to the Mickey Mouse Club to do an interview about "Who's Who's Who". At the same time, I was born with Ryan Gosling, christina aguilera and Britney Spears, the male supreme commander of la la land.
Boss Jia joined the group "Super Boys" on 1996, which was Backstreet Boys's biggest competitor at that time. Later, boss Jia flew alone. In February 2004, he won the 5th brit awards Best International Album Award and Best International Male Singer Award for his album Justified. The song "Cry Me into a River" on the album ranks 484th in the list of "500 greatest songs in history" selected by Rolling Stone magazine on 20 10.
Listening to Boss Jia's music shows that he can master various styles, such as folk songs, blues, R& etc. B ... it's all boss Jia's specialty. And his super typhoon made many fans think that they saw the shadow of Michael Jackson. So far, Boss Jia, who has only released four solo albums, has won ten Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards ... A new generation of American pop music kings was born.
Speaking of his masterpiece Cry Me A River, Justin had an unpleasant phone conversation with his girlfriend before writing this song, which made him very angry. Vent the negative emotions in your heart by writing songs. "A River of Tears" was written in this context, and the lyrics were inspired by Justin's feeling of being betrayed by his girlfriend. Another "mirror" was specially designed for his grandfather William and grandmother Sadie to commemorate their 63rd diamond wedding and pay tribute to his grandfather who died on 20 12. MV tells the love story of his grandparents meeting, knowing each other, falling in love and staying together for a lifetime. Boss Jia also used this as a benchmark to express his love vows to the proprietress Jessica. Two people who love each other and know each other are like each other's mirrors. You have me and I have you, and they have matched like one person. This is an intimate relationship that reflects each other. Finally, I want to share with you a lyric from The Mirror:
Because you are like my mirror.
My mirror glared back at me, staring back at me.
If you look in the mirror, you will look at each other.
