AUSTIN
The House has formally named the pecan pie Texas’ official state pie.
Wednesday’s ceremonial resolution doing so was sponsored by first-year Rep. Marsha Farney, a Republican from Georgetown, north of Austin.
Since it was her first bill, Farney underwent a few minutes of gentle hazing after introducing the measure on the House floor. One of Farney’s colleagues razzed: “Do you have a recipe?” Another wanted to know if she was saying “too bad to the apple pie,” which some say is America’s official pie.
