I love Pecan Pie.  Do you?  
Not really.  But I know it is a big deal at holiday meals.  Also popular in the South
Do you know anything about its origination?
Well pies can actually be traced back to Medieval Europe
Really?  That is very interesting.  Were they dishes for the Kings or dishes for even the commoners?  
Wheat was considered more of a higher status food.  They would be eaten by the governing classes
What else can you tell me about pies?
I actually like meat pies.  They are filled with meat and other savory items.
Now that is interesting.  I can't say I've ever had a meat pie.  
It actually goes back to ancient Egypt, and was a major part of their diet
