Это опечатка  :yes: , почему "скромный пирог"?

Как бы понятно, что это аналог "хрена без соли", откуда у него такой семантический сдвиг?

It originates from "umble pie," a pie made of offal (animal organs) that was considered a low-class dish in medieval times. The term "umbles" referred to deer innards. Over time, the connection between "umbles" and "humble" (from "humility") led to the modern phrase "eat humble pie," which implies a submissive or apologetic act
