Thanksgiving is here, and therefore eating pie is, with any luck, in your near future. Pies make excellent desserts, some might say better than cakes. But pies are also quietly and unapologetically eerie.
Pie is hands down the most goth dessert, for a number of reasons. Number one: Did you know that pie crusts were once thought of as coffins? The American Pie Council states on its “History of Pies” page that pies (then called “pyes”) date back to England in the 12th century, and crusts were called “coffyns.” Also on that page, the American Pie Council reports that early pies were “predominantly meat pies.” Meat pies, as anyone has ever seen Sweeney Todd can tell you, are goth.
