Pie is the most delicious course of Thanksgiving dinner if you ask me! Here are ten quotes about pie.
1. “America has developed a pie tradition unequivocally and unapologetically at the sweet end of the scale, and at no time is this better demonstrated than at Thanksgiving.”
― Pie: A Global History
2. “Pie is good any time of the day.”
― Magic Hour
3. “There is no problem that can’t be solved with the help of a good carrot pie, my friend.”
― Bedtime Stories: Little Bunny and The Big Race
4. “Whoever put steak and kidneys together in a pie made a serious error in judgment. — Nick Snowbeard”
― The Warrior Heir
5. “After going upstairs to visit her father, who had looked vastly pleased with himself and stoutly insisted the mincemeat pie would cause him no troubles whatsoever, Garrett went down to the front receiving room. She sat at the escritoire desk and sorted through correspondence, and picked at the slice of mincemeat pie Eliza had brought her. She could only manage a bite or two. She’d never been fond of sweet-and-savory dishes, and she’d certainly never shared her father’s fondness for this one. In her opinion, mincemeat pie was a jumble of ingredients that had never been meant to unite in one crust. It was a heavy, overpowering dish, entirely resistant to digestive enzymes.”
― Hello Stranger
6. “Mother took the pie out of the oven and it hissed fragrant apple, maple, cinnamon steam through the knife cuts in the top crust. She was making her world beautiful. She was making her world delicious. It could be done, and if anyone could do it, she could.”
― Death and the Dream
7. “Never ask a baker what went into a pie. Just eat.”
― A Dance with Dragons
8. “I went to sit in the bus station and think this over. I ate another apple pie and ice cream; that’s
practically all I ate all the way across the country, I knew it was nutritious and it was delicious, of
course.”
―
9. “There were little triangles of coconut custard pie on a graham cracker crust for dessert, the best and sweetest thing…”
―
10. “Pie makes everybody happy.”
― The Impossible Knife of Memory
What is your favorite dessert?
This is the second post I’ve seen Laurie Halse Anderson’s books mentioned, which confirms my theory that she really likes Thanksgiving and, in particular, pie! I’m listening to a book called Hello Stranger right now, but it’s by a different author.
Thanks for stopping by earlier!
I suspect you’re correct about that, and you’re welcome.
What a nice idea for today! I’d say my favorites are pecan pie, blackberry cobbler, and apple pie. And pumpkin pie, of course, And – and — and —
Thank you. 🙂
Great post idea!
Did I make you hungry? 😀
yum! Now I want pie!
🙂
Lovely quotes!
Thank you.
I do like a pie! Apple and Blackberry with Custard. Savoury has to be Lamb and Mint with Gravy 😋
Have a great week!
Ooh, yum! Have a nice week yourself.
What a clever idea! I love pie for breakfast! 🥧
Thank you. That sounds delicious.
Gotta love pie (and pie quotes 😉 )
🙂
We always have several pies for our Thanksgiving feast. We always have apple pie, and usually pumpkin pie. When I was growing up we’d have mincemeat pie (no meat) but my kids, now adults, don’t like it so why bother? My mom always made a pecan pie, but she won’t be here this year and I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully made one myself. If my niece were coming she’d make a chocolate satin pie which is a favorite of the younger set. Too bad, she’s not coming. We never have berry pies at Thanksgiving. I guess we associate those pies with summer when berries are ripe and available. // This was a very fun post.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing your memories.
Great list, and I totally agree with #2. LOL. Happy Tuesday and Happy Thanksgiving!
You’re quite welcome!
How fun!
Thanks!
I don’t really eat a lot of pie….apple pies are pretty popular here and occasionally something else. But I don’t feel it is anywhere near as popular as it is in the US and maybe some other places.
What an interesting cultural difference. Which desserts are popular where you live?
Back in the day, Dutch Apple Pie was all I needed in life. 😁
Oh, nice.
Aw, fun! We all enjoy a good piece of pie once in a while, right? 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today; I’m very grateful you did.
You’re welcome, and totally agreed there.
The title of this post made me LOL. My husband braved Costco yesterday for pumpkin and pecan pies, and my daughter and I will be making a banana cream one tomorrow. My husband also loves my coconut custard pie, so I might make one of those, too. SO MUCH pie! Enjoy yours 🙂
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday) and Happy Thanksgiving!

I love it! You’re making me hungry.
