Pumpkin Pie vs Sweet Potato Pie

[johnnystorm]

No to Sp pie, but a big yes to Punkin'!

Also a big fan of Apple, Pecan, Strawberry-Rhubarb, & Blueberry (Huckleberry)!

I went to Safeway yesterday for my Thanksgiving shopping, and was really disappointed they had no Sweet potato pies, so I got pumpkin and cherry. My old lady cart (nope, don't have a car) was so full that I couldn't buy the Uhuru Sweet potato pie at the stand outside. I may have to go back b/c I tried a sample and MAN is it good! If I don't have time, it'll just have to wait til Christmas. (they'll be out there again, the lady told me).

You should've return that Safeway pumpkin pie and gotten the Uhuru one, they are so much yummier too.

Glad you sampled the sweet potato one, it's also killer...get one for Christmas.

It's for a good cause too.

Uhuru pies are priced between $20-$25...but the pumpkin is the cheapest priced one at only $13.

I don't like pumpkin pie and didn't know until I read this that sweet potato pies even existed. Here I go to Google and Wikipedia again. You folks send me there a lot.

p.s. Back from Wikipedia. Did I just read right? People put marshmallows on a potato pie? Wow, the things that happen outside of my little corner of the world.

I know, she gave me one of those sale cards.

Sweet potato pies are most popular in the South.

Sweet potato, although distantly related to the common potato, they are very different in both texture and taste.

I can see and picture marshmallows in a sweet potato dessert, but it would be weird to have marshmallows in a common potato, true, lol.

I have had sweet potatoes, but never as a dessert.

Mexicans don't eat sweet potato pies (pies are not a Mexican thing to begin with), but they cook them as stand alone desserts...they are served nice and steaming hot, usually with warm milk poured over them on a bowl, like cereal...but I prefer my sweet potato on a separate dish with a tall glass of ice cold milk, lol.

Now that sounds good!

Just give me apple, peacan or chess pie instead.

This is pretty funny, and interesting...

I've eaten them that way, w/ sugar, butter and canned milk over them. But I like pie much better!

Pumpkin Pie hands down!

As a black person, I do admit, I didn't have pumpkin pie until I was a teenager. In my house as a child on Thanksgiving, it was sweet potato and apple pie. And I really can't say I like either one better, I like them both, and generally have them both, but this year, it's cherry and pumpkin. (I'm spending Thanksgiving alone, how much pie can I eat?)

This is pretty funny, and interesting...

We usually have pumpkin & pecan. I love mincemeat, too, but Mom seldom makes it anymore. (I am a good cook, but hate to bake.)

I have heard of sweet potato pie but never had it. Pumpkin pie is ok, but I prefer Apple Pie.
