about time I created this one!
The expression "to eat '''humble pie'''" means to admit an error and apologize, showing contrition. It is an [[idiom]] that originally referred to a literal [[pie]] called an umble pie, ''umble'' being an old word for offal. A phrase with a similar meaning is "to eat crow".<ref>[http://www.bartleby.com/59/4/eathumblepie.html Bartleby.com] New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition, 2002.</ref>
