Does sweet potato pie taste the same as pumpkin pie?

[DCal430]

I notice in pictures it looks the same, but I never had sweet potato pie before. Does it taste like pumpkin pie?

 

[sdifox]

why would sweet potatoes taste like pumpkin?

 

[FoBoT]

it is similar, depends on the recipe

and how much cool whip you pile on it

 

[spidey07]

Nowhere near the same. One's a gourd, the other a root vegetable. But good sweet potatoes are in a class of good eats all their own.

 

[busydude]

No.

 

[Wordplay]

The ones you pick up at the grocery stores around this time of year taste the same to me.

[Schadenfroh]

You can do better than this...

 

[nanette1985]

If the spices are the same, the taste is pretty close. Big difference is texture.

 

[PottedMeat]

yes they taste the same assuming you used 1 cup of cinnamon in both.

Meh, to me they are totally different. It's like saying carrot = sweet potato = punkin

 

[DCal430]

I was watching good eats and alton brown in his sweet potato pie recipie made it sound like it would taste like pumpkin pie.

 

[SKORPI0]

Not sure how they can taste the same.
I wonder if in a blind test (pies) , someone can taste the difference.

Cool Whip sucks...it's one of the worst things ever invented...

BUT, otherwise, I agree. Sweet potato pie is usually very good. GENERALLY. similar to pumpkin because people often use much the same spices...but even so, it still has a bit different taste...and sometimes, a slightly different texture.

Too much thinking with this question - just use butternut squash to make your pie and call it a day.

You mean cool hwip.

 

[Hugh Jass]

You mean cool hwip.

Actually it would be Cool WHip. Just an emphasis on the h. Or did Family Guy not teach you anything?

it's simply astounding that clever marketing has tricked americans into paying more for hydrogenated oils that approximate whipped cream than the actual whipped cream the product was invented as a substitute for.

 

[boomhower]

No, not at all assuming they were made right.

I despise Cool Whip. I can't imagine why anyone who has ever had the real thing, would eat the nasty fake stuff.

I agree. I'd RATHER have it made fresh from heavy whipping cream, but the canned stuff is an acceptable substitute. I'll go without rather than eat Cool Whip or any of the "off-brands" of imitation whipped topping.

Yeah, pretty much this. I remember being a kid and putting cool whip in between two cookies...god

 

[Gooberlx2]

Similar, not the same.
