Adding to the #PieDiscourse, they were an early form of Tupperware, used to save moisture-rich leftovers in a container with a dry outer surface.
Stored in cold areas, a thick pie crust could keep perishables fresh.
Pie crusts were even called "coffins" (which mostly meant "box" at the time).
My contribution to the #piediscourse is that birthday pie is in every way superior to birthday cake
When I was really poor in grad school like sell-my-plasma-for-food-money poor I would buy those little $0.50 blueberry pies from Walmart once in a while as a little treat (I could stretch them for a couple days too) and now thanks to inflation they cost $0.84 rip current grad students #PieDiscourse
All pie is good pie. Pie is an inherently elevated food. Even bad pie is good pie. #PieDiscourse
All right. Things are awful everywhere, and my brain needs a break.
So which (typically) seasonal pie do you prefer?
Pumpkin
Sweet Potato
