"What were medieval pie crusts like?"

Hello, friends. If by some chance you're not checking out the Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society on a semi-regular basis, you're missing out on semi-regular weirdness. And not just your run-of-the-mill Intenet wierdness, either, but classy weirdness and miscellany.

So, what were medieval pie crusts like? I still have half an hour to kill before my next incredibly boring meeting, so let's find out!
