Traditional New England farmer fare, that is. It's rather like eating cheddar with a pear -- the piquancy of the sharp cheddar counters the near-cloying fruity sweetness of the pear. Usually the cheddar cheese is served with, not topping, the slice of pie. The diner mixes bites as desired. There's a couplet:
