Text Box: Great names in pie history: Alexander the Cake, Genghis Scone, and Attila the Bun were all great names, but all on the confectionery side of the counter. Where are the illuminati of the savoury end of patisserie? (Rob W wrote that bit … good innit? He wrote the next bit as well…) George III may have looked like a steak and kidney pudding, but was never given the appropriate nomenclature. So have the annals of history been without any pie-related names? No, no, a thousand times no. Let us revere the great thinker and gourmet of pastry-encased animal-derived comestibles, Piethagoras. And was in not Archimedes who came up with the oft-repeated mathematical constant of Pie, Ahhhh, squared? What do you really think he found in the bath when he called for his manservant, Eureka? What about the man who organised the Gunpowder Plot … Pie Fawkes? And what about Britain’s favourite ex-Royal, Princess Pie Anna. No wonder there was a national outpouring of grief when she snuffed it. Editor writes: Rob has now gone for a nice lie down.    ●"Nomenclature", "illuminati" and "comestibles" appear courtesy of Roger's Profanisaurus.
