    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.

      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.

      Do British people have access to peanut butter? I thought y’all ate hazelnut paste

          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.

              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.

              Not all peanut butters are created equal.

              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!

            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

              that is a tragedy. Reese pieces aren’t as good as PB M&Ms.

      Could you please ask your neighbors which one of them is furiously Google searching “grape 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.

        … 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.
