Uniquely searched pies
cream 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.
I dunno, butterscotch pie sounds pretty delicious
Most of these pies do. But that doesn’t mean they belong in a Thanksgiving meal.
And pecan.
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!
Not sure you’re a good representation, @Sh00Fly@piefed.social.
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?
Sweet potato pie, contrary to the graph, is pretty similar to pumpkin pie, except better.
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.
Heh, I see you, Nevada 😏

Narrator: They weren’t searching for pie.
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.

GRAPE??? WTF, 'Zonies are weird
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
Sweet potato 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.
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 been reading it as “shooflee”, Wikipedia suggests it’s pronounced “shoo-fly” 🤦🏻
agreed
though, my family in PA never makes them for Thanksgiving. I may request to help make one this year
