here ya go missy......now ya know what humbles are:-
The dish called humble pie was a pie made of the inferior parts of the deer. These inferior parts, or humbles, may have been the kidneys, intestines, heart, or liver. They were boiled until tender, and mixed with suet, apples, currants, sugar, salt, and spices such as mace, cloves, and nutmeg. This delectable was originally eaten by hunters (who were at one time respectable members of society), but later it became a common food of servants. Of course, the higher classes traditionally dined on venison (deer meat). The English brought the dish to America, where venison was plentiful, and recipes for it appear in cookbooks right up to the 19th century. Many dishes used humbles from animals other than deer: "burseu" was made by parboiling pig viscera in wine.

Forget the 'humble-pie' it is so hard to get the pastry just right. Why not try a lovely humble-flan or better still a humble-tart.
Take one premade tart base - large
Layer with squirty cream
Take one pair of parted legs with a juicy honey-pot and spread them over the layer of squirty cream
Finish of with a final squirt of cream and a cherry on top
Try the 'minty' variety - it is lush! wink

put on clothes, and slip on heels. you can add a car, a bus, or the power of the walk at this point. now open the door with purse in hand and walk through it.
go to your local tescos and add the basket. pick up chicken and mushroom pie cos there dead nice and humble. take it to ten items or less, or you could brush it with the self service isle, which by the way i find it easier to and quicker to cook that way.
get home and take pie out of wrapping, and heat for 20 mins. while pie is warming take out plate. when you hear the front door take out pie from the oven and put on to plate, now quickly hide the wrapper and put plate with pie on to the table with knife and fork. and let it be known that you have made a pie using your brains, skill, and sneeky-ness and arnt you great for making something so delicious.
failing that you could say sorry for what ever wink

Almost the same as what I found:
Humble pie
A 17th century English dish, in which the heart, liver, kidney and other innards of a deer were combined with apples, currants, sugar and spices and baked as a pie. The servants ate this inexpensive but filling repast while the gentry dined on the venison. The name comes from the old-English word numble, meaning a deer's innards. A numble pie became an umble pie, which eventually worked it's way to a humble pie.
Hope that ES feasts on whatever you offer up to him.
