We know we couldn’t have been the only who squealed with excitement when Arya’s old pal Hot Pie made an surprise appearance in this week’s Game of Thrones episode . After being MIA for a couple of seasons, we finally got a chance to check back in with the good-natured orphan who's completely obsessed with baking. During his less than three-minute cameo, Hot Pie of course managed to slip in an unsolicited explanation on how he gets his pies to taste so good. After the two were reunited, he told Arya, "the secret is browning the butter before making the dough." So it's clear the character of Hot Pie is still as talented at baking as ever, but what we didn't know is that apparently the actor who plays him isn't so bad in the kitchen either.
