I can understand a Pecan. Not personally for me, but I get it. To a lesser extent, I could maybe even understand like a chocolate cream. It's definitely out there, but maybe there's some specific allergens at the table.
Key Lime Pie? Banana Cream? Tamale Pie?! if somebody showed up to my friendsgiving with that they are not being asked back.
Meat pies are a filling surrounded by crust. Whether they be Natchitoches meat pies or or steak and onion pies. Still actual pies. Not corn chips with toppings.
"Frito Pie" served in the bag predates "walking taco" to the point that one version of the origin story of the recipe has it being originally served directly out of the bag, which is how I've always had it served. Of course I've seen it in a paper boat, but for poor street food vendors, why pay for a paper boat when the bag is right there?
"Walking Taco" is a Midwestern abomination of a regionalism that they're welcome to keep to themselves.
They invented the phrase to describe something that already had a name: Frito Pie
The bullshit is that the title of the post and the title of the graph are very different. Just because it’s heavily searched recently would not make it a favorite. Favorites don’t have to be searched, you already have it written down on an index card from the 90’s. You copied it from your grandmother who got it off a pie tin in the 70’s.
I've been in Indiana for an AWFULLY long time to have never seen a Peanut Butter Pie at all, let alone at Thanksgiving. Pumpkin, Apple, Sweet Potato, and maybe Pecan, Cherry or even Peach pies, sure, but I'm not entirely convinced that half the other stuff on this map even exists.
... even then, I have strong doubts about the prevalence of various "pie searches" on this map, and the criteria of "unique" doesn't fit when multiple states have the same results.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the accuracy of... basically everything about this map.
But what really bothers me is that I feel with every fiber of my being like Pumpkin Pie and Key Lime Pie shouldn't be in the same category as each other. They're just not the same kind of experience. Regardless of who eats them when.
Shoofly pie is a type of American pie made with molasses associated with Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine.
We went to an Amish community festival a long time ago and that’s where I had my first bite. It was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had and it was unforgettable!
I've never had a Frito Chili Pie for Thanksgiving...In all my years of living in Kansas. It was either Pumpkin, Apple, or Chocolate Silk. My family must have been an outlier.
Lifelong Kansan and same. No idea wtf a Frito chili pie is but nobody I know eats it and you'd probably be scorned for bringing it instead of Apple or Pumpkin.
Yeah, to me, it seems like a Texan thing rather than a Kansan thing! I would probably be publically humiliated by the masses if I had the audacity to dare bring anything other than Apple or Pumpkin.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing. Is peanut butter a common item for the British? Do y'all eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Sorry if this is a silly question, I genuinely want to know more! Did you know you can make Peanut butter cookies?!
We do have peanut butter! It's not nearly as popular though, eg if you have toast you'll probably have just butter, marmite, jam/marmalade or honey. We don't generally eat pbj sandwiches although it does happen. You can get peanut butter cookies but not many varieties and tragically we don't have Peanut butter M&Ms
Yeah, my missus always has some in the cupboard to snack on. I’m not really sure what people do with it apart from sandwiches though - never heard of anyone combining it with, er, jam on our side of the moat either.
My mum has passed down to me the beauty of a banana and peanut butter sandwich, ive tried with Jam a couple times but only because of all the noise about it from the states!
It's good on crackers, celery, in milkshakes, probably good as-is on all kinds of baked breads, and can be used in various soups or curries. Sometimes I treat myself to a giant spoonful of it while I read, and I just slowly lick and nibble it and savor the flavor.
Yes and more. The way it worked when I was a kid that you had your choice of deserts. The whole family would come up with what they were bringing. Never once though have I ever saw a Peanut butter pie.
Are we sure this was for thanksgiving?
Title is utter horseshit.
The map is only a measure of "unique searches" by people from that state on Google. Nothing to do with actual preferences, just what they searched.
Yup. No one is searching pumpkin pie. Either you're buying it, or you know how to make it.
That's exactly my thought. This list is probably closer to, "second pie we want to try".
I search pumpkin pie for the same recipe every year. I just forget to save it.
Do you live in New Mexico?
Thankfully not!
I call bullshit. If anyone shows up to thanksgiving with anything other than Apple or Pumpkin there's gonna be some issues.
pecan is pretty synonomous with the holidays.
And pecan.
I dunno, butterscotch pie sounds pretty delicious
Most of these pies do. But that doesn't mean they belong in a Thanksgiving meal.
Clearly you've never had shoofly pie
Very overrated, just like whoopie pies.
Doesn't belong at Thanksgiving.
I can’t remember having Thanksgiving without Shoofly pie. This must be a regional thing.
@[email protected] and I would like to take you to Leiby’s for some real Shoofly pie!
Not sure you're a good representation, @[email protected].
Yeah I think the region is literally just a chunk of Pennsylvania
We also typically have chocolate and pecan pies in addition to pumpkin and apple in my family.
What, you don't like a good creampie for the holidays?
I can understand a Pecan. Not personally for me, but I get it. To a lesser extent, I could maybe even understand like a chocolate cream. It's definitely out there, but maybe there's some specific allergens at the table.
Key Lime Pie? Banana Cream? Tamale Pie?! if somebody showed up to my friendsgiving with that they are not being asked back.
Sweet potato pie, contrary to the graph, is pretty similar to pumpkin pie, except better.
Heh, I see you, Nevada 😏
Narrator: They weren't searching for pie.
GRAPE??? WTF, 'Zonies are weird
This has gotta be bait
It is from a real huffpost "article" that I found, but yeah, it's basically rage bait.
Yeah no hate on you OP :)
I figured it was either by someone outside the US or someone who just thought it was good conversation anyways.
Frito pie is not a pie.
Nebraska and Oregon just fucking their shit up.
...where you from, boy?..
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Reality. Where fritos covered with chili, cheese, onions, and jalapeños (while perfectly delicious) is not a dang pie.
like many things, this is the fault of the British. meat pies do not feel like pies.
Meat pies are a filling surrounded by crust. Whether they be Natchitoches meat pies or or steak and onion pies. Still actual pies. Not corn chips with toppings.
Do you consider chicken pot pie to be pie? If so, what makes it different than Frito pie?
Of course chicken pot pie is a pie. It's a filling with pie crust.
Traditionally, a Frito pie is served inside a plastic Fritos bag.
It's just gas station nachos.
Traditionally? No. What you're describing is a Walking Taco. Frito pie is usually served in a paper boat. It's ball park/tailgate party food.
"Frito Pie" served in the bag predates "walking taco" to the point that one version of the origin story of the recipe has it being originally served directly out of the bag, which is how I've always had it served.

No pumpkin, no peace.
...not even pecan?..
We can have two pies. We're the fat people country.
...huzzah! truth at last!..
I mean, ok, but I've lived in North Carolina all my life and never even heard of buttermilk pie. Pecan pie is good but pumpkin reigns Supreme.
For each of the 4 states Ive lived in, they list a pie no one I know has tried...
This map is only what pie was "uniquely searched" in that state. Only tangentially related to the title.
I don't think sweet potato pie is as big as they think, but more to the point, I'm angry about it being included with "savory."
yeah, sweet potato pie is definitely not savory.
It's easier to make a savory pumpkin pie.
"Savory"
I've never even fucking heard of the pie that is apparently the most popular in my state. I call bullshit.
The bullshit is that the title of the post and the title of the graph are very different. Just because it’s heavily searched recently would not make it a favorite. Favorites don’t have to be searched, you already have it written down on an index card from the 90’s. You copied it from your grandmother who got it off a pie tin in the 70’s.
yeah what the pity fuck is a "buttermilk pie"?
I've been in Indiana for an AWFULLY long time to have never seen a Peanut Butter Pie at all, let alone at Thanksgiving. Pumpkin, Apple, Sweet Potato, and maybe Pecan, Cherry or even Peach pies, sure, but I'm not entirely convinced that half the other stuff on this map even exists.
"Uniquely searched pies*
... even then, I have strong doubts about the prevalence of various "pie searches" on this map, and the criteria of "unique" doesn't fit when multiple states have the same results.
Pumpkin, chocolate pudding, sugar cream, blackberry, cherry, apple, peach, key lime, pecan, sweet potato, oreo, lemon merengue, strawberry, rhubarb. All more likely than peanut butter here.
WTF Is buttermilk pie? Lived in the south for a long time and never heard of it.
Same. I love that there are so many different kinds of pies. But I still want the pican pie from who's recipe is on the karo syrup bottle.
Washington, the apple state, at the end of apple season, with the blackberry pie???? Nah bro, no way
These are search queries.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the accuracy of... basically everything about this map.
But what really bothers me is that I feel with every fiber of my being like Pumpkin Pie and Key Lime Pie shouldn't be in the same category as each other. They're just not the same kind of experience. Regardless of who eats them when.
The lack of talk about shoofly pie really saddens me since its the best pie
Yes, it is the best pie! 🥧 Nice to meet you, lilith267. You are now my bestie.
I am honored to be friends with THE shoofly :D
I haven't had it since I was a child, but even then I remember it being sickeningly sweet. Like diabetes in pie form.
agreed
though, my family in PA never makes them for Thanksgiving. I may request to help make one this year
what is it
We went to an Amish community festival a long time ago and that’s where I had my first bite. It was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had and it was unforgettable!
I been reading it as "shooflee", Wikipedia suggests it's pronounced "shoo-fly" 🤦🏻
I've lived in Ohio my whole life and I've never seen a Butterscotch pie or heard of anyone having one.
I lived in NC for 28 years, never heard of buttermilk pie. Derby and pumkin were popular as well as pecan.
Buttermilk is great but definitely extra sweet.
38 years and running. no clue.
This map is blatantly false
no kidding, they made "pecan" and "pecan" the same color!
TIL that Tamale Pie is a thing.
And it (much like Frito pie, grape pie, etc.) is bullshit.
Peanut butter pie
Washington DC searching “banoffee pie”? Is that banana and coffee?!
This one interested me too. Zero coffee. Wtf?!
Wow, now I want to try it. 🤤
Toffee, not coffee. It's a British thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie
Been in and around DC for 30 plus years and I've never heard of that pie before.
Nevada: 😏
South Dakota and Minnesota: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
South Dakota wasn't searching for recipes
"Nevada Cream Pie"
Just don’t tell the people from Boston…
I'm from ohio and have never heard of butterscotch pie. That said, arizona is onto something
Pumpkin pie or bust
I've never had a Frito Chili Pie for Thanksgiving...In all my years of living in Kansas. It was either Pumpkin, Apple, or Chocolate Silk. My family must have been an outlier.
Lifelong Kansan and same. No idea wtf a Frito chili pie is but nobody I know eats it and you'd probably be scorned for bringing it instead of Apple or Pumpkin.
Yeah, to me, it seems like a Texan thing rather than a Kansan thing! I would probably be publically humiliated by the masses if I had the audacity to dare bring anything other than Apple or Pumpkin.
I would make every one one of these pies (not specifically for turkey Day) if I wasn't in a damned homeless shelter.
Is Key Lime pie a thanksgiving thing?
I could maybe see it in Florida or Hawaii, but otherwise no.
its more like a cold dessert.
WTF is a Grape Pie?
Sincerely, someone who's lived in Arizona for 24 years.
Could you please ask your neighbors which one of them is furiously Google searching "grape pie"?
This thread is going to affect my health and weight.
Lived in and around DC basically my whole life. I have never once seen a “banoffee pie” nor would I be able to identify it or describe it.
The phrase "Shut your pie-hole" has taken on a whole new meaning for me.
I'm thinking too much about what a pie is and now all pie just seems fucking weird
Chocolate pie is a custard pie. fite me.
As an English person, man peanut butter pie sounds good!
Do British people have access to peanut butter? I thought y'all ate hazelnut paste
We have it! We're not advanced enough to put it in a pie though. We must lack the technology for it
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing. Is peanut butter a common item for the British? Do y'all eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Sorry if this is a silly question, I genuinely want to know more! Did you know you can make Peanut butter cookies?!

We don't generally eat pbj sandwiches although it does happen. You can get peanut butter cookies but not many varieties and tragically we don't have Peanut butter M&Ms
that is a tragedy. Reese pieces aren't as good as PB M&Ms.
Yeah, my missus always has some in the cupboard to snack on. I’m not really sure what people do with it apart from sandwiches though - never heard of anyone combining it with, er, jam on our side of the moat either.
My mum has passed down to me the beauty of a banana and peanut butter sandwich, ive tried with Jam a couple times but only because of all the noise about it from the states!
You should try a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich
It's good on crackers, celery, in milkshakes, probably good as-is on all kinds of baked breads, and can be used in various soups or curries. Sometimes I treat myself to a giant spoonful of it while I read, and I just slowly lick and nibble it and savor the flavor.
Not all peanut butters are created equal.
This map is wrong about my state. I've never seen the pie they have for it. Not once. Its pecan pie or banana pudding if its anything for my state
Like cherry pie but with grapes. I've had it and it's pretty good.
banana pudding for thanksgiving?
Yes and more. The way it worked when I was a kid that you had your choice of deserts. The whole family would come up with what they were bringing. Never once though have I ever saw a Peanut butter pie.
Aww yeaaah Oregon sitting over here on the ONLY pie I can actually make. Mmm mm.
(Didn't know it was that popular of a dish. Damn good, even if seriously ugly.)
From KS and live in MO. I have never eaten Frito Chili Pie and I’ve only had Apple on thanksgiving once.
I have now learned that most Americans have incorrect preferences
