Language Notes about Osgood Pie

There are many speculations as to where the name "Osgood Pie" comes from. Some think it could be short for "Oh so good." Some think it's short for "Ozarks." None of the speculation seems to be that it might simply come from a family name, such as Osgoode.


Occasionally spelt "Ozgood", but that may be someone trying to reinforce the claim of the name being related to "Ozark."
