Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.

Where to Find the Best Pie in Indiana? 

According to Food Network, there's only one place to go to get the best pie in Indiana. The pie itself is a Hoosier staple known as the sugar cream pie, and the best place to get your hands on some is at Wick's Pies in Winchester.

Born from Amish and Shaker communities that settled in Indiana in the 1800s, the Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie is a rich, custardy pie made with pantry staples like sugar, cream, flour and vanilla. It’s been nicknamed the "desperation pie,” since you don’t even need eggs to bake this one. The "Hoosier" part was added to the name because Indiana felt particularly proud of this pie (and didn't want any other state claiming credit). It’d be impossible not to mention Mrs. Wick's Pies, only the largest national Sugar Cream Pie producer. Mrs. Wick's bakes over 750,000 pies each year and ships to 25 states.

 

As a Hoosier, I am certainly a fan of the sugar cream pie, but I can't say that I have had one from Wicks. I suppose I'm going to have to either make a trip to Winchester or order some online. Happy Pi Day...celebrate accordingly!
