I was never a fan of squash until I discovered it sprinkled with a bit
of brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon and curry powder, drizzled with oil
and roasted.

Are you referring to the pastry or to the filling. I have made pumpkin
pie from scratch, baking the pumpkin and scraping out the innards, and I
have made it from canned. I think my home made from a can is pretty
damned good, but I have to say that there is not the huge difference
between home made and store bought that you have with other types of
pies. A good friend of my raves about the Costco pumpkin pies and they
are sold so cheap that even pie makers consider them too much of a
bargain to resist.
