The sweet smell floated across the Yorkshire hills. With its three tons of prime English beef, 244 tons of po- tatoes, half a ton of crust and buckets of seasoning, the pie probably is the biggest in the world. It certainly is the biggest in Denby Dale, a greystone vil- lage which has a habit of making monster pies. Bubbling and fuming, the pie lay cooking in a steel dish 18 feet long, six feet wide and 18 inches deep. This dish lies in @ specially constructed electric oven. This is a break with tradition, since prevous pies were baked in brick ovens, fired by faggots. Glass panels in the new oven's side allowed the Denby piemen to watch their pro- geny's progress. Outside the barn an end- less line of pie fanciers peered through windows. This morning the crust goes on. In mid-atfernoon the pie will be drawn forth by a steam traction engine, Six bands and a parson will par- ticipate in ceremonies, Then the eating will begin. The piemen expect the mon- ster to yield 30,000 portions to be sold for charity at 10s ($1.50) each. Pie became a Denby Dale obsession in the 18th century and by some accounts even earlier. The first recorded giant pie was devoured in 1788 to cele- brate King George III's recov- ery from madness, The recoy- ery proved as short-lived as the pie. The pie of 1846, celebrating some cause long forgotten, fell off its platform and was trampled underfoot by 2,000 pie-crazed Yorkshiremen. Chrysler Sales Soar 38.8% 'In August WINDSOR, Ont.
