Pie is good any day of the year, but today pie lovers have extra reason to serve up a piece - or three and a bit - slices of pie.
Pi, or “π”, is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Since the value is approximately 3.142, we think it only right that everyone should feel free to eat 3.142 slices of pie today, because March 14 is international .
And of course, we have a world of pies for you to dive into! Starting with the savoury, and moving - of course- to our fave sweet pies, all robed in rich golden pastry.....
