Heh, I see you, Nevada 😏

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.
This has gotta be bait
It is from a real huffpost "article" that I found, but yeah, it's basically rage bait.
It's definitely bait. I've never heard of "grape pie" before, and I've lived here most of my life.
Frito pie is not a pie.
...where you from, boy?..
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

like many things, this is the fault of the British. meat pies do not feel like pies.
No pumpkin, no peace.
...not even pecan?..
We can have two pies. We're the fat people country.
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.
I dunno, butterscotch pie sounds pretty delicious
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.
@lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I would like to take you to Leiby’s for some real Shoofly pie!
We also typically have chocolate and pecan pies in addition to pumpkin and apple in my family.
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.
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.
Washington, the apple state, at the end of apple season, with the blackberry pie???? Nah bro, no way
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.
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.
"Uniquely searched pies*
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.
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 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
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.
This map is blatantly false
TIL that Tamale Pie is a thing.
Nevada: 😏
"Nevada Cream Pie"
WTF Is buttermilk pie? Lived in the south for a long time and never heard of it.
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.
I'm from ohio and have never heard of butterscotch pie. That said, arizona is onto something
WTF is a Grape Pie?
Sincerely, someone who's lived in Arizona for 24 years.
Is Key Lime pie a thanksgiving thing?
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.
