fleur-de-lis

a centuries-old insignia of heraldry
official symbol of the state of Louisiana
emblem on the Chevrolet Corvette
on the label of Campbells Soup
element in the logo of Scouting organizations
symbol used on a compass rose to mark the direction of north

and on the Miller’s Thanksgiving table

...maybe marking the northerly direction of the pumpkin pie

it, either : )
