What Was the Most Consumed Pie in the American Colonies? The winner is...

 

I figured apple pie. 

I was wrong.

I then guessed pumpkin pie. Must be right?

Again wrong - although very popular according to DSACSHFR (The Distinguished Society for the Advancement of Crust Sciences and Historical Filling Research).*

The winner according to my web research? Mince Pie. 

Yuck.

Mince pie is a sweet pie filled with a mixture of fruit, spices, and suet. Suet is the hard fat found around the kidneys and loins of cattle and sheep. It's a specific type of animal fat that has a firm, waxy texture when raw and becomes solid at room temperature. 

Yup, that is suet.

Pi Man does not want to go back in time.

* Ok, I made DSACSHFR up.
