When : January 23rd each year
Created by the American Pie Council, National Pie Day is dedicated to the celebration of pie. As part of our American heritage, this day is a perfect opportunity to pass on the love and enjoyment of pie eating and pie making to future generations.
National Pie Day is a special day that is set aside to bake and cook all of your favorite pies. On this day, you are also encouraged to bake a few new pie recipes. And most importantly, it’s a day to eat pies!
A great way to celebrate National Pie Day is to bake some pies and give them away to friends, neighbors, and relatives. You never know, you may be starting a tradition of pie giving between your friends and family.
And now, without further ado, the Pie Song from Michael.
Pie, pie, me oh my,
Nothing tastes better, wet, salty and dry.
Apple and pumpkin and mince and black bottom,
I’ll come to your place every day if you’ve got ’em.
Pie, me oh my, I love piiiiieeeeeee
And the scene from Michael regarding pie.
Do we have pie?
You’re in the pie capital of America.
Well, we want….
We want pie. What have you got?
I got them memorized, okay? Ready?
We got apple, of course……banana cream, coconut cream, sour cream raisin.
Chocolate cream?
Definitely. Chocolate cream…
…and…
…strawberry rhubard pie and…
…cherry…
…and lemon meringue.
We want two slices of everything.
And vanilla ice cream on the side.
I like pies. I don’t get them very often though. But maybe that is a good thing as I would start looking as round as one.
But I understand that you don’t have these pies in the US.
