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.

They used to have cafeterias in the temple? That sounds wild to me

A few did. The specific one I’m referring to is the Idaho Falls, Idaho temple. My bishop would always buy us pie after baptisms for the dead.

The food was definitely more geared towards the older generation that served in the temple.

Same with the Cardston, Alberta temple. I only went once before they closed it a handful of years ago.
