You are aware, are you not, that the Penns had to emmigrateto the New World after a scandal involving two of William Penn the elder's little old lady spinster aunts? Seems that there was a serious shortage of steak and kidney pie (though to my mind having one in the world is more than enough), and the prices were sky high.
So these two little old ladies began turning out this horribloe "confection" by the dozen and selling them at reduced rates, a trade that was certainly beneath the dignity of the upper class. But they kept right on, making more pies and cutting the prices. Pretty soon everyone was talking about the pie rates of Penn's aunts.
