        I tried a sweet potato pie this thanksgiving. It was my first time ever having one. There is no difference in taste. The pumpkin pie is slightly firmer and the sweet potato slightly mushier, but if they are the same brand, the seasonings cover up the vegetal taste in both to the same extent.

        Well, I don’t think they’re feeding the jack-o’-lantern, but no, they taste nothing alike. SP and yams are more gluteny or denser, too.

      But the pumpkin must have ordered it for her to be bringing it to him, why would she need to lie about what it is?

        Might have been a special, just listed as “Pie of the Day” or something like that. Now should Jack have asked what the pie was first instead of going for “surprise me?” Perhaps. But I’ve never been to a diner where “Shepard’s pie, made with real shepards” was a possibility, so who am I to judge?
