    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.

    Reality. Where fritos covered with chili, cheese, onions, and jalapeños (while perfectly delicious) is not a dang pie.

    Do you consider chicken pot pie to be pie? If so, what makes it different than Frito pie?

    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. 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

    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.

    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."

    I call bullshit. If anyone shows up to thanksgiving with anything other than Apple or Pumpkin there's gonna be some issues.

    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.

    @lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I would like to take you to Leiby’s for some real Shoofly pie!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've lived in Ohio my whole life and I've never seen a Butterscotch pie or heard of anyone having one.

    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 lived in NC for 28 years, never heard of buttermilk pie. Derby and pumkin were popular as well as pecan.

    I would make every one one of these pies (not specifically for turkey Day) if I wasn't in a damned homeless shelter.

    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.
