But Pie and Coffee can be much more. It is gift from our ancestors to connect with other people in person. When your mouth is filled with pie, you need to stop and chew...and listen. You literally have to shut your pie hole. Add the warm feel of some of your favorite coffee and you are conversing. No mobile phones, social media or silly pie blogs. Just people being people.
And doing pie and coffee is easy! All you need is pie and...well, coffee.
Maybe some of you are looking for #pieandcoffeemovement conversation topics? Courtesy of my friend Ethan, here is one to ponder.
What is the best song with the word 'pie" in the title?
Don McLean's American Pie?
Custard Pie by Led Zeppelin?
Apple Pie a la Mode by Destiny's Child? (Pander Alert: I threw that one in for the Millennials. I have long submitted that pie-lovers do not peak in their pie-loving years until they hit 40 years. Maybe that is why this list trends to the older side? OK Boomer.)
There are a lot of them. Personal favorite? John Fogerty's Rhubarb Pie. Because rhubarb is the unspoken sidekick to many a great fruit pie.
An alternative is Black Coffee from Humble Pie. It is a good cover of an Ike and Tina Turner song.
