Shepherd's pie ($9.50), with veal, lamb and beef, was excellent, seasoned with cumin and jalapeno and served with garlic mashed potatoes.

Peach pie might serve for breakfast, but Sunday dinner was different.

Perhaps it's necessary with the dense, sweet chess square with whipped cream or the other rich cobblers or pies served for dessert.

The pie serves eight with a total cost around $15,900, or $1,990 per slice, which includes a glass of champagne.

They ordered pizza and the pie served to them was custom-sliced: PEDRO, it spelled.

Sandys also includes a story of Christmas-time in Cornwall which includes the pie served with mashed potatoes and pilchards.

But inside the storied hall, humbler pie was being served: the Houston Symphony Orchestra and its unaffected Austrian conductor, Hans Graf.

The pies served at the stadium have been judged the best pies in English football.

Guilty of one of the oldest tricks in the book, the restaurant markets pizzas as an "individual" size, but the pie should really serve three.

My favorite desserts are the individual fruit pies ($4.50) from the Moondog Bakery, like an apple pie with a perfect crust, served with a scoop of gingersnap-molasses ice cream.
