I was startled and then charmed to find the expression "pits and
pieces" in a paper I was grading last night. I started thinking about
making a peach pie, separating the pits from the pieces.

Doesn't seem to be terribly common, according to Google; but there's a
small population out there using it.

"During the last ten years I have been collecting pits and pieces of
pottery from
all over Nabataea."
