America, let’s be honest on this point: It is not so great to have pie. For decades now, this confection of fragile dough and chunky cooked fruit has been invading our dessert menus and national mythology, trying to persuade us of its honored standing among baked goods and the gods.
That’s from Nathan Heller’s screed at Slate about the horrors of, you guessed it, pie. And leave it to Slate to take a stance against a delicious dessert offering that, when warmed and served with ice cream so that the ice cream melts into the little crevices of the syrupy fruit, is pretty much the most important thing in the universe. CHARLATANS.
