π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any Euclidean[1] circle's circumference to its diameter. π is approximately equal to 3.14. Many formulae in mathematics, science, and engineering involve π, which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants.[2] For instance, the area of a circle is equal to π times the square of the radius of the circle.

And because we are proud nerds in this family March 14th, or 3/14, or 3.14 is the day we eat pie!
For our main course I busted out a Steak and Mushroom Guinness pie. this is also a nod to The Eagle and Child, where I had my first steak pie when I was at Oxford, and was also Tolkein and Lewis' old haunt.

I got fancy and carved a π into the puff pastry. Unfortunately because of how soupy the filling was it didn't puff the way it was supposed to. No worries it still tasted amazing!
