Pumpkin Pie is Terrible

Pumpkin Pie is Terrible

Jaydon Tate

Some people think that pumpkin pie is the best, but really it’s not. People say the reason they don’t like pumpkin pie is because it reminds them of sweet potatoes and has a bad texture like, or some are even runny. Pumpkin pie doesn't always look the best either, plus when you smell a pumpkin it obviously doesn't smell very good so most people aren't gonna want to eat pumpkin pie because of the smell of a normal pumpkin. 

Keller says, “No, I don't like pumpkin pie because the texture tastes weird and I don't like pie in general.” Kody says, “It's okay I've known to like it because my family has it every holiday, but it's not my favorite thing.”

Other things that are pumpkin flavored are really good, like pumpkin bread or pumpkin cookies. Although they might have the same flavor as pumpkin pie but the texture is way different and more enjoyable. Pumpkins are vegetables and shouldn’t be made into pies. Would a squash pie sound good? Or a string bean pie? Sounds kinda gross.

Sometimes even the crust can be bad because it gets soggy and gross from the wet slimy pumpkin pie which can make people not want to eat it. Pie is supposed to be sweet, like a cherry pie or an apple pie. Those are better because they have better texture, they don't taste plain and they actually have flavor unlike pumpkin pie. 

Most people eat pumpkin pie because it's a tradition, but why would we want to eat sweet potatoes and then for dessert eat something similar? Kinda gross and doesn't sound very sweet and yummy. You're supposed to make the pie out of a canned pumpkin thing, but really it's not pumpkin, it's squash. Who's gonna wanna eat that for dessert? Definitely not me. Sure the spices and everything are good but every pumpkin pie that I’ve eaten people had way too much and over-powered it trying to make it taste good.
