I know this will surely paint me as an oddball, but it is traditional in my family to eat squash pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas, in lieu of pumpkin. I think that my great great grandmother must have had a pumpkin shortage and a squash surplus one year, and created the sacred squash pie recipe to address it. We've been eating it ever since (with COOL WHIP only, never whipped cream). Or, maybe Missourians are just weird.
I've yet to encounter ANYONE in my life whose family also eats squash pie. But, in my opinion, it tastes better than pumpkin.
I made it once with butternut squash. It's really good!
