Why do Americans make pies with potatoes and pumpkins?

Who would look at a sweet potato or a pumpkin and think: ah, let's make pie out of them?

It comes from slavery. Africans make desserts using yams and when they got brought over to America, the kitchen salves would make an approximation with the nearest thing they could find which would have been sweet potato and pumpkin.

There's a specific type of yam they use for desserts in Africa but I can't remember the name of it

most people make them with disgusting canned pumpkin mash, which is terrible, but if you make them with pumpkins and cook them well, they are actually good desserts, and I imagine many non americans would like them too. They aren't cloying, and you can make them have really interesting profiles with various spices. 99% of pumpkin pies are consumed on thanksgiving, and are gross though.

Have you ever eaten pumpkin? It has barely any flavor. It's not sweet like other fruits or even like other squashes/melons. To make it a dessert you need to add sugar or else it won't taste like anything. This is like wondering why you need sugar in a cake, as if the flour could possibly provide enough flavor

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 15 12:43:39 2021 No.15948082 >>15947232 They are right to do so, they are amazing t. yuro

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 15 12:47:42 2021 No.15948108 >>15947277 You realize you're making a pie, right? And that pumpkin is basically flavorless.

We also have ham and we eat black eyed peas on new years. We also love pecan pie which when you compare a sweet potato to a pecan neither seems good in a pie
Other cultures have there own style, Germany beer for breakfast, France drinks wine all day starting with watered down wine for breakfast, just pick your poison

Because we started our pie making obsession with our English ancestors. (Seriously? Cold meat pies?) So anything that could be cooked down into goop and eaten could be put into a flour and lard pie crust.
Consult a historian for a better answer.
