Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Uniquely searched pies

cream pie

Are we sure this was for thanksgiving?

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Yup. No one is searching pumpkin pie. Either you're buying it, or you know how to make it.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

That's exactly my thought. This list is probably closer to, "second pie we want to try".

It is from a real huffpost "article" that I found, but yeah, it's basically rage bait.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 days ago

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.

Narrator: They weren't searching for pie.

WTF is a Grape Pie?

Sincerely, someone who's lived in Arizona for 24 years.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Could you please ask your neighbors which one of them is furiously Google searching "grape pie"?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 33 points 6 days ago (9 children)

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 20 points 6 days ago

pecan is pretty synonomous with the holidays.

[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Clearly you've never had shoofly pie

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."

[–] mosspiglet@discuss.online 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yeah, sweet potato pie is definitely not savory.

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.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I've never even fucking heard of the pie that is apparently the most popular in my state. I call bullshit.

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

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.

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 lack of talk about shoofly pie really saddens me since its the best pie

[–] Sh00Fly@piefed.social 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, it is the best pie! 🥧 Nice to meet you, lilith267. You are now my bestie.

[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

I am honored to be friends with THE shoofly :D

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

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

Pumpkin pie or bust

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

I'm from ohio and have never heard of butterscotch pie. That said, arizona is onto something

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

From KS and live in MO. I have never eaten Frito Chili Pie and I’ve only had Apple on thanksgiving once.

[–] aeiou_ckr@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

TIL that Tamale Pie is a thing.

Washington DC searching “banoffee pie”? Is that banana and coffee?!

[–] MaddestMax@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.
