Humble pie

English-language idiom

The idiom eat humble pie means to face humiliation and subsequently apologize for a serious mistake. It comes from humble pie, originally umble pie, a kind of pie formerly made from the edible organs of a deer or hog, based on medieval meat pies. An umble pie is a pie filled with chopped or minced offal, especially of deer but often other meats, called umbles in Middle English, which derived from the word numble, meaning "deer's innards".
