I do not. West coast.
I’m from Minnesota and my understanding is that a whoopie pie is two soft cookies with filling in between. But no one I’ve ever met is familiar with it. I only know because I have a book of martha stewart recipes.
WTF are they?:mad::mad:
:smack::smack:
Yes. I live in Ithaca, NY, but have a friend in Lancaster, PA, and travel to Maine a lot. I’ve read there is a battle between Amish country in PA and the state of Maine as to who gets credit for originating Whoopie Pies. I have no opinion on the origin of the whoopie pie, but side with the faction that says the ice cream sundae originated here in Ithaca.
Nope. NYC.
Looked it up and see that they are also called black and whites. I’ve eaten black and whites but they aint whoopie pies.
Ayuh. Right up there with loabstuh rolls.
Speak it. Nothing like a nice toasty hot dog bun, buttered and stuffed with…loabstuh. And followed up with a nice fat whoopie pie. Then maybe a stent or bypass operation, or failing that, a nice bit of angina to round off the meal. 
Short answer: yep. Maine.
A woman I worked with used to bring in a home made red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting version. Yummy.
Them’s fighting words. They’re from Maine and anyone who says otherwise is wicked confused.
ive heard of the term whoppie pie but i dont know what it is. I’ve heard of moon pies but they are only in the US… im from ont. canada and i think the same product moon pies is called Joe Louis.
Sure looks like what we call a moon pie. Seen them all my life in Arkansas. 68 years
Yes, New Zealander living in the UK.
My mom has made them from time to time over the years. The recipe she used is in the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery, so not really regional.
We’re from the suburban part of the NY metro area.
Whoopie as in whoopie cushion? Pie as in cow pie?
Kind of an unappetizing name for what sounds like a yummy confection.
Yes. Have lived in PA most of my life.
I also didn’t know what they were (also from Canada, specifically Quebec). Also:
Upon reading the name, I pictured a pie with a fart baked in.
Just to clarify…
What New Englanders call a Whoopie Pie is not the same thing as a Moon Pie, nor a Black & White/Half Moon.
I’ve known about them for a couple of years, because my wife knows this woman professionally. She (the Whoopie Pie Wednesday lady, not my wife) is from a small town in Wisconsin.

They’re not even remotely similar. There’s no graham cracker, and they’re not dipped in chocolate. Instead imagine a firm cake aproximately 4" across and 2" thick (but cut through the middle like a hamburger bun), with a generous layer of thick frosting between the two halves of the cake.
Yupper. Grew up in southern NJ, college in nearby eastern PA, since then mostly in New England and eastern upstate NY, and can’t remember where I first encountered the things. Have never actually eaten one because they mostly seem to come in versions of chocolate, which I don’t eat. I would bake one for anyone who wanted one, though.
