What most of us think of as “pumpkin” is actually the traditional pie spices, and it’s really easy (and cheap) to overdo the spices or get them out of balance. I have made “pumpkin” pie out of carrots and people could not tell the difference.

Since I would not be able to tell the difference, I wouldn’t like the carrot version either would I? It’s not the spice that turns me off. It actually smells rather nice. I do not care for the texture or the flavor. Simply a waste of a good pie crust.

Is there a recipe? That would be fun. I dislike the texture of pumpkin pie

Right you are, Redneck. I have done the same thing as you, but with sweet potato.
