Pie

Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, Pie in the face

Few foods say home quite like a pie on the counter, and "as American as apple pie" has made it a symbol of comfort and tradition. Because a pie is made to be cut and passed around, it often turns a dream toward family, holidays and generosity. A golden, flaky crust is a sign of care and effort that paid off. A soggy or burnt one can mean a project needs a little more attention before you serve it up. Eating humble pie is the old way of saying you had to admit you were wrong, so the dream may touch on an apology, given or received.
