Today, March 14th, 2019 is National Pi day... but also appropriated by the pun and culinary minded as Pie Day...
Accoding to Life's Little Mysteries, here are the mostpopular pies in the US....
notice basically all are sweet.
Now, here is a similar chart for the UK... and most are savory.
In the UK, Yanks are known for their sweet tooth...
And where did PI and subsequently Pie Day come from?
It is celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of π (3.14), Pi Day was founded by Physicist Larry Shaw in 1988.
So... now you know...
and my pie for the day...
I just made a Chicken and Mushroom pie...
So what was in your pie plate today????
Ruth, your chicken and mushroom pie looks beautiful. If I were making a pie today, sadly I'm not, it would be steak and ale. My favorite sweet pie is peach.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I made a Shamrock Bumbleberry Pie. I used most of the frozen fruits I had in my freezer.
