Went to the store the other day - they had half an aisle of collected pumpkin stuff - from soup to nuts, literally.
I love pumpkin pie, but tend toward savory with other pumpkin stuff --- soup, pumpkin ravioli with browned butter. Much more into apple stuff for fall; breads, muffins, cider, pork chops & applesauce. . . .
Its only the beginning of September, but I am already seeing the pumpkin-flavored stuff hitting the shelves, so I thought it would be fun to hear about the best and worst of them.
The inspiration for this thread is that tonight I went to Krispy Kreme and while I normally only get the original glazed, I could not pass up their Pumpkin Cheesecake donut.
I never thought I would indulge in a pumpkin flavored item so early in the season... but since the Christmas decorations will probably be out next week, maybe I should get them while I can.
I will report back after I eat the donut.
Have you had anything pumpkin-flavored yet?
I have purchased Archer Farms Pumpkin coffee, and Baileys Pumpkin coffee creamer.
I'm pretty spoiled w/ my pumpkin preferences-
I mainly prefer my own homemade pumpkin pies (won't touch store bought)
& also my pumpkin muffins, as well.
But Dunkin Donuts pumpkin muffins--- w/ coffee.....so yummy
Costco sells a mean pumpkin pie......but not yet......and yes we can enjoy pumpkin in September, October and even into November but it's the 'peppermint mocha' stuff that should stay dormant until November right?
I've never had anything "pumpkin-flavored" except for some roasted pumpkin. However, I've tried items that have been pumpkin pie spice flavored - some were okay and some were just bad.
You need to be introduced to a home made pumpkin roll with sweet cream cheese filling.
Oh man I love fall.
Not to mention my great grandma's double fluffy pumpkin pie recipe with scratch made crust.
Pumpkin donuts... Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme
Pumpkin coffees... DD and Starbucks. Pumpkin spice frappicinos
I had pumpkin cream cheese last year... it was an Everyday Essential or Philly Cream Cheese brand
Pumpkin pancakes long ago in a NYC local eatery, although AFAIK, that was NOT just seasonal.
