It’s almost hard to think of a food that isn’t good when wrapped in flaky dough and baked. There are all sorts of pies that are good for all sorts of occasions.
In the US, apple pie is the most famous. There’s even an expression about it. If something is very American, you can say it’s “as American as apple pie.” For instance, “Baseball is as American as apple pie.”
But you can put almost any kind of fruit in pies. Peaches and berries make great pies. There’s also pecan pie, and even pies with meat in them, like chicken pot pie!
Learn food English and find out what kind of pies Jason and Vanessa enjoy in this food English lesson.

Jason: Did you have a nice Christmas?
Vanessa: I did! I ate so much pie, it was wonderful.
Jason: Mmmm, what kind of pie?
Vanessa: My mother makes the best apple pie in the world. It’s not too sweet and you can really taste the apples, so that is my favorite pie of all time. Do you like pie?
Jason: Sure, yeah. I like exotic pies like peach pie, that’s a good one. Sometimes I like savory pies.
Vanessa: Like a meat pie or a quiche with eggs in it?
Jason: Yeah! A quiche especially. Those are good.
Vanessa: That sounds good.
Jason: The flakier the better on the crust.
Vanessa: Oh, the crust is the most important part of a good pie, I think.
Jason: Is it?
Vanessa: Yeah!
Jason: What’s your favorite dessert pie?
Vanessa: Apple pie is still my favorite, but I love cream pies too, like coconut cream pie or chocolate mousse in a pie shell is always really good with whipped cream on top.
Jason: You know what those are really good for as well?
Vanessa: What’s that?
Jason: Pieing people in the face!
Vanessa: Now that sounds like fun.
