词源
Uncertain; most likely from cheese pie; early versions were similar in texture to British lemon curd pies or cheesecakes, and earlier "cheesecakes" often lacked cheese, instead resembling modern chess pies or chess cakes.
Other theories include:
* from a Southern pronunciation of (it's) jes' pie, as it contrasts with flavored pies like pecan, cherry, chocolate, etc.
* from chest pie, as the high sugar content means it can be stored in a "pie chest" (pie safe) rather than needing refrigeration.
* from some association with the game of chess.
* from Chester, England.
