I prefer pumpkin to sweet potato, but like both a lot. Pumpkin is the sentimental pie of my youth, and my wife has made them every year for Thanksgiving. So it's likely mostly that. Objectively, I also think it goes better with whipped cream.
I'm not a huge fan of most fruit textures in general. I know it's weird. Been that way since I was a kid. Love the flavors though. So I will eat all the flaky crusts of fruit pies Just not the filling.
Also, I love a good buttermilk pie.
I am the opposite of this. I don't like the taste or texture of sweet potato (gross!) or pumpkin (meh.) pies.
I will eat just about any kind of fruit pie. Apple, blueberry and cherry are at the top of that list.
In general, I'm not a dessert person. I will crush a cheesecake if it's put in front of me... But that is done on my birthday and that's about it for that.
