Talk:Humble pie

Dictionary definition

Looks like a run-of-the-mill dictionary definition to me. The article has been around for almost two years and still is a measly stub. Even the etymology doesn't have much to say that can't be moved to Wiktionary. Would anyone like to motivate why this shouldn't be nominated for deletion?

Oh, and where does the claim of pies being medieval commoner's food come from? After reading plenty of literature on medieval cuisine, I have seen nothing to indicate that pies were considered less prestigious than other types of pastries. There are many examples of elaborate subtleties that took on the form of pies. Try also to keep in mind that a pie is a relatively complicated dish compared to your average loaf of bread, frumenty or stew. It required not just an oven (which was not a common household item in the Middle Ages) but knowledge of baking and a fair amount of preparation.

I have now changed it back, so that readers could get some information rather than none on the primary meaning of the expression, and not only a redirect to an obscure rock orchestra. Really!

I'll drop in and work on it some, adding real information about the the literal humble pie, a vastly under appreciated subject, although it seems that tripe has a real following here. -- Trilobitealive (talk) 18:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Godfather's Pizza offers a Humble Pie on their menu (sausage, pepperoni, onions, and green pepper). Very tasty. Jmdeur (talk) 15:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
