[UA] "Sweetie Pie"

[Bevan Thomas]

It conjures to mind the initiation rituals for mythological and fictional 
evil cults where you prove your loyalty and vileness by destroying the one 
thing you love (such as with the Brujeria in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing). So 
to join the cult, you need to kill the person you love, bake him or her in a 
pie, and then eat it (possibly sharing the pie with the rest of the cult 
members).

Alternately, you make your sweetie into a pie so that she'll be a part of 
you forever. The loving cannibal, who eats someone because he can't bear to 
be apart from her.

In a totally different interpretation, it's a variation of the love potion. 
You feed a person a pie to turn her into your "sweetie." Your sweetie isn't 
in the pie, you feed the pie to your prospective sweetie.
