Who likes what?

I always had a way of thinking they were secretly the same pie.

But if you really have eaten both they taste slightly different.

I prefer Sweet Potato Pie since I have family from Louisiana and TX. Thats all my family cooks. Southern foods from southern states.
Plus I dont like pumpkin that much..

Ever had pumpkin Chili ? The Nastiest thing in the world!

Pumkin! I also like pumkin spice loaf, that is what I end up giving out at holiday parties!

On a side note, if you like sweet potatoes, I have a family recipe for sweet potatoe souflee that is TO DIE FOR!

Someone with more kitchen experience would be able to provide a much better description I am sure.

I guess it's a soufle b/c it's hot and creamy in the center (being mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, butter, etc) and crusty on the top (brown sugar, pecans, more butter).

I was never that wild about pumpkin pie until I made it using Paula Dean's recipe...now it's a favorite.

I've tried making sweet potato pie, but nothing compares to the one's Hatty would make (a gal who worked on my unit when I was still practising as a nurse). Hers were exquisite.

I have a sweet potato/pecan pie that my Dixie DH LOVES. I kind of modified two recipies-one for the sweet potato (I just make half of the filling) and the I use the recipie for the pecan pie off of the Karo bottle and make half of THAT nad put the sweet potato in the bottom of the shell and the pecan stuff on top. YUMMY! BUt not diet food!!

Oh and as far as sweet potato vs pumpkin I like them both.
