Pumpkin Pie: If not perfect, then near perfect.

Why would anyone ever make a pie out of a vegetable. Yikes. Give me cherries. Give me apples. Give me anyting but pumpkins in my pie.

Sorry to be the technical dink:

Pumpkins have seeds; therefore, they are not a vegatable. I think they are a fruit like roses, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, cucumbers, etc.. A veggie would be like lettuce, cabbage, or swiss chard.

Sweet potato pie is made of sweet potato which is a root (tuber) like the carrot, radish, and potato.

Wonder why they did not put broccoli on the list. Supposed to be one of the most complete foods known. I'm partial to pumpkin pie but I agree with you--apple pie is awesome, especially with ice cream. Dang, I'm drooling on the keyboard.
