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”?
I call bullshit. If anyone shows up to thanksgiving with anything other than Apple or Pumpkin there’s gonna be some issues.
We also typically have chocolate and pecan pies in addition to pumpkin and apple in my family.
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.
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.
And pecan.
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.
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
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?
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.
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 lived in NC for 28 years, never heard of buttermilk pie. Derby and pumkin were popular as well as pecan.
38 years and running. no clue.
Buttermilk is great but definitely extra sweet.
I’ve lived in Ohio my whole life and I’ve never seen a Butterscotch pie or heard of anyone having one.
No pumpkin, no peace.
…not even pecan?..
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.
We can have two pies. We’re the fat people country.
Washington, the apple state, at the end of apple season, with the blackberry pie??? Nah bro, no way
These are search queries.
Is Key Lime pie a thanksgiving thing?
its more like a cold dessert.
I could maybe see it in Florida or Hawaii, but otherwise no.
GRAPE??? WTF, 'Zonies are weird
Common Ohio L
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.
This thread is going to affect my health and weight.
“Nevada Cream Pie”
Just don’t tell the people from Boston…
Washington DC searching “banoffee pie”? Is that banana and coffee?!
Toffee, not coffee. It’s a British thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie
This one interested me too. Zero coffee. Wtf?!
This easy banoffee pie combines a crunchy graham cracker crust, sweet dulce de leche, thick slices of fresh banana, and billowy whipped cream.
Wow, now I want to try it. 🤤
Been in and around DC for 30 plus years and I’ve never heard of that pie before.
