Hi, All!

I learned recently that an English pie can be countable and uncountable. What
does the latter mean? For instance, I read:

"It’s hot in here, isn’t it?” asked Constance the next day. She was
sitting at the dining room table with the other children, two of whom were
eating pie and ice cream with expressions of immense satisfaction."

I understand uncountable ice cream, but I don't understand uncountable pie. ;-)


PS: It was The Prisoner’s Dilemma, by Trenton

Bye, All!
