Before you say anything, we're completely aware that Pi Day (3/14) celebrates pi (3.14), the mathematical ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and not pie, the pastry.
But what better food to enjoy on a day like this? Pies are circular and delicious, and that's good enough for us. It's good enough for our foodie friends too, as many of them have agreed to let us share their piedeas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert pies.
So whip out that apron and start baking up a bevy of pies for Pi Day. Or, you know, we guess you could go do math or something.

Dessert - Irish Banana Cream Pie
