Believe me, I can tell the difference. If given the choice between
pumpkin or sweet potato I would definitely pick pumpkin. If the only
choice were sweet potato, I would have to pass. My first choice,
however, would be pecan. I fix a pecan pie once a year at
Thanksgiving. I love it but it's one of those things you fix just
once a year.
