How do you concatenate the same string to every element in a list?

Here's an example of what I mean:

list = ["apple", "lemon", "Shepherd's", "steak and kidney"]

I might want to add the word 'pie' onto the end of every element - without manually typing into the list. The result should be:

list = ["apple pie", "lemon pie", "Shepherd's pie", "steak and kidney pie"]

Any ideas as to how I would do this? (This isn't my actual code btw, pie was just on my mind)

Have you learned loops yet? – Chris Gong Aug 01 '16 at 15:53
Might want to look up list comprehensions. – sethmlarson Aug 01 '16 at 15:53
**never** use a builtin python type(list) as a variable. – Christian Dean Aug 01 '16 at 16:02
`l = [i + " pie" for i in l]` – David Zemens Aug 01 '16 at 16:03
There is no need for the sarcastic comments. I am not an expert, yet no one has successfully answered my question. – 123Bear Honey Aug 01 '16 at 16:09
@123BearHoney I apologize if I came across as rude. I was simple telling you that you should never use a python builtin type, such as `list`, for a variable. As for your question. use list comprehension: `lst = [str(i) + ' ' + str(word) for i in lst]` – Christian Dean Aug 01 '16 at 16:13

That's ok @Mr.Python. Thank you David Zemens as well for the most helpful suggestions. I would give you both a thumbs up but I have not got a good enough reputation. – 123Bear Honey Aug 01 '16 at 16:16
