Warden pie ?

[littleplum50]

Does anyone know if there is a reference to 'Warden Pie' ( stewed pears of the Black Worcester variety, usually) in the Medieval poem, "Piers Plowman", by William Langland ?

Sorry, but I can't find any reference to 'warden pie' in this translation:

PS: If the poetical reference to warden pie you're seeking is this one . . .

"'"Now here's to thee, mine Uncle! a health I drink to thee!
Now pledge me back in Sherris sack, or a cup of Malvoisie!"--
The Canon sigh'd -- but, rousing, cried, "I answer to thy call,
And a Warden-pie's a dainty dish to mortify withal!"
