A 17th century English dish, in which the heart, liver, kidney and other innards of a deer were combined with apples, currants, sugar and spices and baked as a pie. The servants ate this inexpensive but filling food while royalty ate the venison. the name comes from the old-English word numble, meaning a deer's innards. "A numble pie" became "an umble pie" which eventually worked it's way to "humble pie"

In old english, "umbles" are the entrails of deer (liver, heart, etc.), and umble or humble pie is a pie made with these (basically, a pie made with offal). Obviously this would be a very inferior sort of dish, so "to eat humble pie" is to lower or humilate yourself.

Its a phrase. "Feeding them humble pie" means to make them more humble and less "high on the horse"

Duh, a humble isn't a fruit. this is the call given to a meager (or humble) entree pie made fromleftovers, meat scraps, and much less appropriate organ meats. It has considering the fact that morphed right into a term which ability being humble, no longer proud and hyped up.
