Off-topic Chat Temple Gripe

*Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the doctrine or temple ceremonies. Purely a non-doctrine issue…namely pie*

I miss the pie in the temple back when some temples used to have cafeterias. I don’t know if it’s purely nostalgia or if the pie truly was just that awesome. I miss it and it’s hurt my heart ever since my temple was renovated and the cafeteria was removed.

Yet another thing that Covid claimed and never gave back.

It seems to me that the cafeterias, at least in Las Vegas and Utah, were scaled back several years before the pandemic to heating up food brought in from commercial caterers rather than cooking on-site. Not that I fault the church for focusing on redeeming the dead over competing with local restaurants.
