I don’t know what to make of the “pie for breakfast” reference. Anyone?

    I think it's a native new englander local stereotype about yankees eating pie for breakfast; implying that they eat too much.

    Apple pie with (cheddar) cheese apparently was a New England staple in the 17th century, but I don’t know if anyone had it for breakfast.

    A very old New Englander once to my girlfriend & me that we went together “like pie with cheese.” We had idea what to make of it.
