cherry pie
Lattice-topped sweet
Cherry pie is a baked dessert consisting of a pastry crust filled with cherries, typically sweetened and thickened.
It holds nostalgic status in American culture as a symbol of wholesome domesticity: as American as cherry pie.
The phrase took on ironic edge when civil rights activist H.
Rap Brown declared that "violence is as American as cherry pie."
