Comments: "The pie takes its name from the battleship Missouri, where Master Chief Steward Harry Hightower served it to President Harry Truman.

When the president requested the recipe, the chief steward refused. But in 1970, Harry Hightower retired and decided to share his famous recipe." Recipe Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 03-02-1998 Formatted for MasterCook by Susan Wolfe - vwmv81a@...
