In maybe 1985 or so, I was invited by a coworker to her family's Thanksgiving dinner in Duluth, and she made a pie from fresh pumpkin.
I was very impressed. But that seemed like a lot of work. So after that is when I started making sweet-potato pies -- same principle but much easier to access. And my bourbon-sweet potato pie with fresh whipped cream is always the hit of the holiday desserts.

I'm not sure I'm following. You mean you use canned sweet potatoes?
No pumpkin pie at dinner today. Dessert was chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, or banana cream pie--or both. ...
Around here sweet potato pie isn't a thing, except maybe in some neighborhoods of Philadelphia.
And I still don't understand how macaroni and cheese became a Thanksgiving side dish. ???
