With Easter approaching I would like to make some grain pies. Does anyone know if there is anywhere around Charlotte to buy the wheat for the pies?
Thanks!

Perhaps at the Home Economist on Independence near Idlewild?
Nevermind--I googled it. Sounds delicious, but it's a new one on me.

LOL! I guess I am going to have to try really hard to find the wheat.....it seems like I am not going to be able to buy any ready made pies around here!
I also have never heard of before til this thread and I google it and it does sound yummy.
I guess it kinda like buttermilk pie . First thought is something that doesnt taste great but are really yummy.
It something common served for easter and from what region?

I have never heard of it but we make Italian traditional fare for Easter. We make a similar pie to the grain pie but just ricotta and sugar no berries! It is delicious!

Not really buttermilk. I would say it is like italian cheesecake (made with ricotta, not cream cheese) with pearls of wheat added. Yes, it is an Italian custom to have them for Easter. I am from NYC and everyone there is familiar with them. My grandmother made them every year. You cannot go in to a bakery around Easter time without seeing them. I'm guessing that no one here knows where to get basket cheese for a meat pie (pizza rustica/pizzagaina) either?
