Now, I do like some pumpkin foods. Pumpkin pie is in fact one of my all-time favorite foods. But I eat it on Thanksgiving and I eat it on Christmas and I keep my mouth shut about it at other times. From September to November, the pumpkin talk and the pumpkin love in the world is just overkill. Every coffeeshop or restaurant features "special" pumpkin goods, and I've just had enough. I don't want to hear any more about pumpkin lattes, pumpkin scones or pumpkin ale.
I can't believe I typed pumpkin that many times; the word looks totally weird to me now.
If you too are fed up with the pumpkin-centric world, tell me in the comments. Or, if you completely disagree with me and you can't get enough of pumpkin, tell me that too.
More posts later this week, including a feature on a soup party I attended this weekend, and Robbie on blackberry brownies!
But how do you feel about butternut squash?
ReplyDeleteBut... but I love pumpkins and pumpkin products....
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it there isn't a lot of "flavor" to pumpkin. It's all creative placement of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
ReplyDeleteemily had this fantastic pumpkin alfredo at her wedding. like best wedding food i've had in a long while. thinking of trying to make my own.
ReplyDeleteand i LOVE (certain) pumpkin ales, like saranac and heavy seas. so don't hate on all of it!
