    “pumpkin” pie is almost never actually made of pumpkin. The pie filling used by most bakeries and home bakers is actually a very different squash. Genuine pumpkin pies do exist but they are not the norm.

    That said, pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie are not similar enough to pass for one another.
