  Eat humble pie
Umbles were used as an ingredient in pies, although the first record of 'umble pie' in print is as late as the 17th century.
The adjective humble, meaning 'of lowly rank' or 'having a low estimate of oneself' derived separately from umbles, which derives from Latin and Old French words for loins.
The similarity of the sound of the words, and the fact that umble pie was often eaten by those of humble situation could easily have been the reason for 'eat humble pie' to have come to have its current idiomatic meaning.

 Small Faces/Humble Pie/Frampton
When Marriott abruptly quit to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, the remaining band members renamed themselves the Faces, absorbed Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, and promptly metamorphosed into, well, the second-best bluesy early 70s English rock band, after the Stones.
Humble Pie did get much better as it went along, and not coincidentally they later sold a ton of records themselves.
More than anyone at this point other than the Stones and the Faces, Humble Pie was carrying on the great British blues - R & B - hard rock tradition, and succeeding.
