What goes in an "Emperor Norton pie"?

I was in a pie baking contest this weekend and the "most creative" award went to a pie composed of chocolate and nuts, dubbed the "Emperor Norton." Cute, but I think we all know if Emperor Norton baked a pie, it wouldn't really be that tasty.
For those readers not from San Francisco, Emperor Norton was a fella in the mid to late 1800s who just declared himself Emperor of the USA and San Franciscans, true to form, just went with it.
