The whoopie pie (alternatively called a black moon, gob (indigenous to the Pittsburgh region ), black-and-white, bob, or "BFO" for Big Fat Oreo (recorded as "Devil Dogs" and "Twins" in 1835〔Annual Report of the State of Massachusetts Infirmary vol. 3. 1835. 92. http://books.google.com/books?id=VoVKAAAAMAAJ&q=%22whoopie+pie%22&dq=%22whoopie+pie%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JI91UriFH-fTsASyn4DYAw&ved=0CD8Q6AEwAQ accessed 11/2/13〕 )) is a US baked good that may be considered either a cookie, pie or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them. ==History== While considered a New England phenomenon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition,〔(History of Whoopie pie )〕 they are increasingly sold throughout the United States.〔 According to food historians, Amish women would bake these desserts (known as hucklebucks, or creamy turtles at the time) and put them in farmers' lunch pails or lunch boxes. When farmers would find the treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!" It is thought that the original whoopie pies may have been made from cake batter leftovers.〔''Whoopie Pies'', Good Housekeeping, October 2004〕 The whoopie pie is the official state treat of Maine (not to be confused with the official state dessert, which is blueberry pie).〔 The world's largest whoopie pie was created in South Portland, Maine, on March 26, 2011, weighing in at 1,062 pounds. Pieces of the giant whoopie pie were sold and the money was used to send Maine-made whoopie pies to soldiers serving overseas.〔 The previous record holder, from Pennsylvania, weighed 200 pounds.〔 The town of Dover-Foxcroft, in Piscataquis County, Maine, has hosted the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival since 2009. In 2014, more than 7,500 people attended the festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Over 7,500 People Celebrate the Maine Whoopie Pie )〕 The 2013 festival had eight different whoopie pie vendors in attendance. Bakers from across Maine compete for top whoopie pie in a number of categories. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whoopie pie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
