Settle a debate-

Just because it is a Thanksgiving dessert, does it have to be pumpkin flavor?  

Can I make chocolate cheesecake or does it have to be pumpkin?

No. We usually have apple pie, strawberry short cake and pumpkin bread or cake. It depends on your family and their tastes

I host Thanksgiving and I hate pumpkin pie, so I don't serve it unless someone brings it.

Nope. We always have a buffet of a variety of flavors and desserts. Pies, cakes, cookies, etc...

Apple pie. I don't like pumpkin pie unless it's 20% pie 80% whipped cream.

No! Pumpkin pie is only ONE of our desserts and the others usually have nothing to do w/ pumpkin.

Maybe I meant "overdone".  I can enjoy pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake, but the pumpkin spice EVERYTHING around this time of year?  Everywhere that sells a pumpkin spiced latte is *so* cutting edge.  I'm all about some variety!

My mom insists on having pumpkin pie because it's "tradition". I always make an apple one. I'm gearing up for a fight this year when I host and don't make either.

Part of the joy of Thanksgiving is that there is always more than one dessert.

It doesn't have to be pumpkin, but I do make an awesome pumpkin cheesecake every year. Apple pie is another big favorite in my family.

Pumpkin pie is the biggest letdown. It's just congealed pumpkin snot in a crust.

No, it doesn't have to be pumpkin. But we have a pumpkin pie or cheesecake at Thanksgiving every year. Along with apple pie, coconut custard and whatever else there is.

[So_Fetch]

Definitely not. I like to make tollhouse pie for thanksgiving.

No. My H and in-laws don't like pumpkin or pie of any kind, so their Thanksgiving desserts are always chocolate chip cake, banana bread, and ice cream.

With my family we do pumpkin pie, but also coconut custard, apple, and lemon meringue pies, and for a while my sister and BIL would bring whoopie pies, but they haven't since moving out of Lancaster.
