Pumpkin does have a taste, rather like squash but not as sweet. The spices (and sugar) are what make pumpkin pie yummy. You could make a pie without the pumpkin, just the spices and sugar and evaporated milk and eggs, maybe a half-teaspoon of cornstarch to help make a custardy filling, baked in a pie shell. It would be yummy. But it wouldn’t be pumpkin pie.



Looks like arranging them into an actual chain ⛓️ might make more sense. At least they wouldn’t block each other.
