Eat­ing Humble Pie

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

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.

Ready? Let’s go.
