The New York Times on pie, 1902

[Markbnj]

I saw this quote...

"Pie is...the secret of our strength as a nation and the foundation of our industrial supremacy. Pie is the American synonym of prosperity. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished.”

-- The New York Times, 1902

... on this article ...

And I must say I agree: no pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished.

I approve this sentiment.

Now pie is a symbol of obesity, loudness, obnoxiousness and drinking a beer with semen in it.

Damn, no I want some apple pie.

I don't know what bars you go to, but count me out.

Which was the last time the New York Times said anything vaguely Republican.

Never tried a peach pie, it's not something popular over here in the north.

I'll try to make one this weekend. What kind of peaches are best for pies?

 

[JulesMaximus]

YUM!

 

[John Connor]

LOL! I have no idea, I don't bake, just eat. I'll have to call my mom or sister and ask.

One pie I can not eat is pecan pie. Oh shit that stuff is filling and waaaay too sweet.

Thank you, the original was really disturbing...

Yes, now it would be an expose on how the corporate pie conglomerates are exploiting the poor worker, who can no longer afford to purchase the very pie he makes.

Which is Bush's fault, who we all know won the Florida election only because of the terrible influence of the powerful pie lobby.

The English discovered how to have pie for every meal.
Breakfast: Quiche
Lunch: Pork Pie
Supper/"Tea": Steak & Kidney pie
Dessert: Apple pie.

Yeah - but doesn't that mean kidney pie or haggis or something else gross like that?


Sort of like kettle?

Cheesecake

There's nothing wrong with cheesecake. It makes a nice treat. But you can eat pie every day. Like heroes do.

 

[zinfamous]

You can't spell Freedomip without pie!
