Eating Humble Pie
I’ve eaten humble pie, many a time. It doesn’t taste as good as the real thing though.
The almighty pie is as ubiquitous with New Zealand and Australian culinary history as the hamburger is to the American’s. Pies are consumed by the truckload every day in Australia and New Zealand. They’re scoffed, hurled, trodden on, frozen, gifted, marveled, compared, championed, premiered, bought, sold, chundered, ogled, eaten and finally passed.
I don’t think a heart patient would be scoffing down too many pies given the fat content, and calorific value (something they share with their more famed American cousin, the burger), but that doesn’t seem to bother anyone else.
So, let me introduce you to the ‘pie’.
In this lesson you’ll learn how to make a pie, compare a pie and say pie in 20 different ways.
