How about Pippin Pie, which IS a dessert?! A pippin is a kind of pot, and maybe it's the substituted "p" that stands for "quiet" ("pipkin" KEEPS i.e. contains "p" for quiet), so to speak?

.............sorry, I meant "pipkin" as a kind of pot!

the plot thickens !!
it must be there or there abouts!

Another possibility might be "cooking" = anagram of the letters of container + p or sh --- but I've not found anything yet. Fascinating.....I shan't give up!

How about a pecan pie?

Can you explain how "ec" represents "be quiet"?

The parsing for Pecan Pie could be:-
Cooking = Preparing - the elements of container/quiet/greek letter

Container = Can
Be quiet = Pe (sound of P - be quiet musically)
Greek Letter = Pie (sound of Pi Greek letter)

Pe Can Pie

I fear you're right, chris: had thought of it that way myself, but don't find it very impressive as clue. I wonder what quiz this is. Perhaps ernie can tell us! At least we kept on trying (in my case even in my sleep)! Respect, respect!

Thank you greedy kite and chrisg for your efforts
