What about sweet potato pumpkin pies?

They are very good pies. Just as PAX East is a very good PAX.
They are good, but not great. Admirable, but not legendary.
Almost all pies are very good. Hardly any pies are actually bad. Ranking pies is left as an exercise to the reader.

Pumpkin (Sweet potato-based)
Iâm too lazy to actually do it but I was gonna do a pie tier where I put all the meat pies in actual order, at the bottom of all those I was gonna put a dung pie, after that was gonna be all the sweet pies.

What about a sweet potato pie thatâs actually called a âsweet potato pieâ and isnât pretending to be pumpkin? Or does that count as âsweet potato-based pumpkinâ?
Iâm very much pro Apple Pie. But I had a slice of pumpkin pie recently that did soundly demolish all but the mightiest of apple pie offerings. And now itâs gone, having thus been devoured for its excellence.
Where would shoofly and key lime rank?
It would still be low tier because sweet potatos are a garbage food.

Okay, but consider the following:
Tenpura sweet potato.
Canât say Iâm a fan, but what I usually have I can tell is not great quality, so it might be that.
Ahhh I do my own tenpura and tenpura sweet potato is tricky. You have to par boil them before you fry them otherwise the tenpura batter will be cooked and the potato will be all but raw. But if you boil them too long they get squishy and donât fry right.
No love for Boston Creme Pies?
Just because they are more expensive to get to than other pies, and require significant security theater every time you reach for a slice, that doesnât mean it should be ignored entirely.
There are also additional pies that contain chocolate, and I am squarely in those camps, but I think they might stretch the definition of pie.
Agh it reminds me of living in Osaka and going to the Okonomiyaki Bros by Hirakata station and eating takoyaki til I nearly felt ill⌠so goodâŚ
