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.

Reality. Where fritos covered with chili, cheese, onions, and jalapeños (while perfectly delicious) is not a dang pie.

like many things, this is the fault of the British. meat pies do not feel like pies.

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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.

Do you consider chicken pot pie to be pie? If so, what makes it different than Frito pie?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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
