The History of Key Lime Pie

history of key lime pieLike most Florida restaurants, we offer key lime pie on our desert menu. It is truly delicious and if you love the sweetness and tartness of key lime pie, you must try ours.

Our key lime pie is popular with our customers, and that inspired us to write an article about key lime pie. There are many stories for origin of key lime pie. The one described below is the most commonly accepted.

First, lets talk about the lime itself. It is believed the key lime first came to Florida in the 1500’s with Spanish explorers. The lime is native to Malaysia. The climate of the keys are great for growing this fruit. It is a little known fact that most key lime juice is actually Persian lime juice. A 1926 hurricane wiped out much of the key lime industry and Persian lime was used to replace them as it is easier to pick and ship. [Read more…] about The History of Key Lime Pie

What is Pig Candy?

pig candy Melbourne FLIt sounds a little crazy right? The words ‘pig’ and ‘candy’ put together. But that is the only way to describe this delicious treat. In this article we will go over the details of this item. 

Pig candy is a type of dessert. It is made with thick strips of smoked bacon and pecans. It is then coated with brown sugar. Another name for this dish is “glazed bacon”.

This dish is especially popular in the southeastern United States. It has really taken on a life of its own in Washington D.C. (of all places) and Martha Stewart even featured it on “Martha Stewart’s Living”.

There are about 100 different recipes online so when and where you get it makes all the difference in the world.

Some folks eat it as desert but it an excellent snack. Protein and carbs can make for a great tide-me-over until din din.

So come on over to Charlie and Jake’s beachside Melbourne FL and try the pig candy. We bet you will go hog wild for it!
