Ya know, the lowercase Greek letter π, Pi, the one that = 3.14159265359……
Where I am there are both pizza (oie) specials and bakery pie specials available at $3.14,or in the case of a big pie a $3.14 discount, plus other fun stuff. Boston Market has a buy one pot pie and get a second free special.
Q? Is Pi Day celebrated in other countries? Or just a US marketing ploy?
Oh. I forgot! I’ll have to check around and see what deals I can find tomorrow. I haven’t seen anything advertised in my area yet. But I love all kinds of pies!
I didn’t realize commercial places recognize it. I usually celebrate by baking a couple pies and taking them into work. Hmm… apple, lemon meringue, French silk, key lime… gosh, now I’m hungry!
Now that you mention it I had forgotten how much I used toenjoy meat pies… used to grab one (or two) for lunch virtually everyday when I lived on the Isle of Man for a summer. Dang, now I am hungry…
if there’s a Pi day then surely there’s a Phi day (pronounced feee, as in the golden triangle and building blocks of the closed or open universe, which ever the big wigs decide at the time to be more relevant).
we have two for one days in the uk pitza houses, usualy run by Afghanis with a rather good knack for pitzas.(or Pakistani,Indian…Iranian Iraqi Greek French, even one Australian dinner…but i’ve yet to find an actual Italian in a pitza house. This eventually led to me thinking that maybe it isn’t actually an Italian food?)
