Pie and Pi Day has long been connected. After all, pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and pies are circular. Some take the association more gravely than others; that includes annual pie-eating and pie-baking encounters.
The holiday Pi Day has been officially recognized by the U.S. authorities since 2009 and some companies have special amounts today in honor of it, according to SlashFood. If you want to make your own pie for Pi Day, here’s a useful list of recipes.
