Sam Eagle Presents: A Salute To... [Tuesday, 5/18, 4th Period]

Once again, Sam Eagle could be found behind a podium and in front of an American flag.

“Welcome back,” Sam called out, once again at precisely the moment when the workshop was due to begin. “I see you have all returned to once again be enlightened on important topics. Excellent. Fine upstanding young citizens, all of you.”

Well, not Beaker. Obviously not Beaker. Never Beaker.

“Today,” Sam continued, “we shall discuss that most wholesome and traditional of American desserts...the apple pie!”

“Ahem. A Salute to All Desserts But Mostly Apple Pie, a lecture by Sam Eagle.”

“As I said, apple pie is the most American of all desserts. You have, of course, heard the expression ‘American as apple pie,’” Sam said. Yes, he assumed his students were all familiar with Americana because he could not fathom why they might not.

“Why, Americans have been making this pie for hundreds of years! The very first cookbook ever written in America contained not one but two recipes for this dessert! Of course it did. That is only fitting for apple pie.”

“Of course, apples are not native to this country unless you are referring to crabapples which do not make a good pie. But apples are American now and that is what is important! For without fine, American apples how could we have fine, American apple pie?”

“Do not,” Sam added, even more seriously than usual, “ever accept a pie prepared by any Swedish chefs. Trust me, students, you will regret it.”

“Now! Let us discuss other, lesser desserts. You may begin,” he said, pointing a wing at the student closest to him. “Tell us about a dessert and why it is inferior to apple pie! And remember, students, a dessert should always come after a wholesome and nutritional meal!”

Tell Sam your favorite dessert and he'll tell you it's weird. Or you're weird. Or maybe he'll approve? It could maybe happen!
