Recipe for Green Fairy Pie. from a torn note found inside an earthen pot discovered by Mr. and Mrs. F. Nolen when they moved into 732 North Cherry Drive, Idaho in 1983.

My Grandmother told me about this recipe, which has been made for at least 4000 years on the Irish West coast.
"Careful Be when Calling the Fairy Pie. The Stars and the Moon shall Rise and Sink Twelve Times Before this Pie Plays the Piper."
Ingredients:
Fresh green peas.
Flour
Egg
Raisins
Dried Fig
Water
Butter
Nutmeg
Seeds of the XXXXX (words have been erased in the original document).
Take the green peas and boil them in salted water.
Make pie dough as it was done before.
Put the peas in a large baking tray.
Mix in the raisins and figs. sprinkle with nutmeg.
Place the flattened pie dough over the mixture.
Make twelve holes in the pie dough with the middle finger.
Inside each hole insert seventy seeds and a knob of butter.
Seal the holes with remaining dough.
Bake in a hot oven until dough rises and becomes brown.

(the following addendum was added to the recipe and written by hand along its left margin)

Charlotte. Make this for your dear brothers when they return from the war. It will heal them and bless them with the constant constancy of the Fairies without whom we all wander aimlessly on the waves. With Constance. Mother.
