National Pie Day on January 23rd celebrates one of the Nations' favourite desserts. No matter how you slice it, pie in just about any form makes a crowd happy. Fruit pies, berry pies, cream pies - they are mouthwatering servings of homemade goodness.
National Pie Day simply celebrates the pie. Everyone is invited to bake their favourite pie, but more importantly, the day reminds us to enjoy eating pies! The only other question to ask is, will it be al a mode?
Did you know, the first pies appeared around 9500 BC in the Egyptian Neolithic period or New Stone Age? So, humans have been eating pies for a very long time. And with so many to choose from, we shouldn't have any problem finding one we like. After all, we celebrate the day twice a year (plus their cousin National Pi Day).
Fun Tidbit – Pie throwing:
Cream-filled or topped pies are favourite props for humour. Throwing a pie in a person’s face has been a staple of film comedy since Ben Turpin received one in Mr. Flip in 1909.
Please come along and help celebrate this very important day on the National Day calendar.
