Cooking pies has always been a major ritual for housewives. Pies were baked for different occasions in the life of a family, be it the birth of a child, a wedding or a funeral. A different pie was prepared for each type of event. For example, for joyous celebrations, meat pies were baked, as well as pies with fruit. For religious festivals, fish and vegetable pies were honored
. Few people made pies with exotic fruits such as oranges, lemons, and bananas. The reason was probably due to the high cost of exotic fruits. However, now it is possible to make a budget pie with orange.
