Pies became known to mankind in ancient Greece. From there, by the way, came the phrase “to bring to a handle”. It is directly related to ancient baking. The fact is that in the past, the dough was not an edible part of the pie. It was created to carry the food without sacrificing the filling. Accordingly, the filling was eaten, and the pie with a dough-like handle was thrown away.
Only the poor ate such dough
.
Therefore, in a precarious financial situation, people said that they were “brought to the handle.”
