KEY WEST, Fla. — Florida Keys culinary experts are furious about a cookbook author’s claim that Key lime pie wasn’t invented in the island chain. But Key Westers Tuesday said Key lime pie was a Keys staple before that, citing local newspaper articles from 1926. David Sloan, author of “The Key West Key Lime Pie Cookbook,” said his research proves Key lime pie existed before 1931. He and others have also crafted eight-foot-in-diameter Key lime pies at major events. In 2006, Florida’s legislature voted Key lime pie as the state’s official dessert.
