Pumpkin vs Sweet Potato

[sidewinder]

How do I vote for apple and blackberry pie?

Pumpkin, no ifs, ands or buts. I know they're similar, but I really don't care for sweet potatoes or the pies they make...

I pass on both, but can tolerate the pumpkin if I have to.

My mom always made squash pie, from butternut squash that we grew. I didn't have pumpkin pie until a few years later, and found it to be indistinguishable from squash pie. Sweet potato pie may look the same, but it definitely tastes different. I like 'em all!

My favorite, however, is mince meat pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Unfortunately my spouse doesn't care for it, so if I want it, I'm gonna have to make it myself.

Yesterday we had squash, pumpkin, apple, and Kentucky Derby (pecan pie flavored with bourbon). Couldn't sample them all, but fortunately we got plenty of leftovers!

Did not vote - we have a "split house". I like Pumpkin and as the band knows, Ann is partial to Sweet Potato.

Why isn't this in a "musical" thread?

Saving that for the "What's Your Favorite Bean?" poll....

(all puns intentional)

(Very) late vote for pumpkin. Sweet potatoes are just too damn sweet for my palate - be they in a pie or elsewhere.

my dyslexia told me you were having pelican instead of turkey.... :rsly:

Who did he tell you that to?

[Soulstation1]

i don't like neither

Give me a good Pecan pie.

Exactly. Why worry about any other choices? While everybody else at our gatherings say "I'll have a little sliver of each", I bide my time and then POUNCE on the pecan!

BTW, I voted for "Don't know- never had sweet potato pie". Love sweet potatoes, just never been offered the pie...

So can we assume an aversion to the irrationality of a sweet potatoe pi? Inquiring minds wanna NO!
