Therefore, I can't understand anyone claiming to like one of these pies while disliking the other for any culinary reason; that is, for any reason except ethnic solidarity ("our people always make the pie from this vegetable, not the other").

Ethnic solidarity has nothing at all to do with my preference for sweet potato pies over pumpkin pies. They may look alike, but they darn sure don't taste alike to me.
