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.

I've had a modern version using brie and I became a fan.

The whole chart is apparently a reference to an E. B. White quote, and there may be some truth to the pie part.
