most pies eaten
Here's a look at the top nine pie types Americans are eating this Thanksgiving: Apple - 20%; Strawberry - 19%; Pumpkin - 16%; Cherry - 13%; Blueberry - 9%; Pecan - 8%; Lemon Meringue - 8%; Chocolate - 5%; Chess - 2%; And a few extra pie facts for good measure: Apparently, the first pies were filled with meat and called coffins, which could either be a total misnomer or completely accurate (probably both). Mini, sliced and half pies make up 24 percent of pies bought. Yay portion control.
