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?!
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.
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
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.

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.
