Eat humble pie means to apologize and suffer humiliation along with it

History says that during the Middle Age, there would be a feast after hunting held by the lord of a manor. He would get the finest cut of the meat in the feast and the lower standing would be given a pie filled with innards and entrails which is known as ‘umbles’, hence it was considered humiliating because everyone would know they were of a lower status.
