   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!
