Re: Pumpkin Pie Spice flavored everything

I despise pumpkin pie. Hate it. I do like pumpkin muffins and
pumpkin bread.
Coffee should never be pumpkinified, ew, gross, blechhh, ptooie.
I like cinnamon and ginger and cloves but not in everything.
Branch out, people!
Also: it's possible that pecan pie is a custard of sorts but It
sure as heck doesn't act like one, so I refuse to think of it as
custard. It's sugar and butter and pecans with a little bit of
egg for a binder, is all.

Yes, I was prepared for that view. I think of pie as two
categories - fruit or custard. Pecan is a bit of an outlier but
fits best in the latter. And I did qualify calling it custard
"style" not actually custard. But I admit it's not perfect. I
suppose people who care for pie more than I do may categorize
them more precisely.

I usually have one pumpkin latte, on Halloween if I'm out and
about, or Thanksgiving week if not on Halloween.
But I humbly submit that the infinitely superior autumn beverage
is the maple latte. A real maple latte made with real maple
syrup, not maple flavored syrup. These are rare, and I may have
an espresso machine just so I can make them myself since they're
hard to come by in coffee shops.
Okay. I have an espresso machine because I'm a coffee freak. But
the rest of this post is true, I swear.

I always thought of a pecan pie as being a chess pie with
pecans. LOTS of pecans.
Chess pie is butter + sugar + eggs in a crust, occasionally with
some flavoring like a little lemon juice -- a very simple recipe
but it's a very rich, luxurious-tasting pie if you make it
right.

SPICE with pumpkin.

1) I really like pumpkin pie. It's just a custard with pumpkin
and spices. I do make my own these days with around 1/3 the
sugar and much of that also maple syrup. My recipe rarely uses
pumpkin pie spice in it though-- not that it's bad, it's just
that I don't usually use allspice in mine.
2) I like it so much I made a savory pumpkin pie adapted from a
greek recipe
HTML https://adorefoods.com/greek-pumpkin-and-feta-cheese-pie-kolokithopita/<br
/> Cheese, onion, and mint. that's basically it. My SO loves
this recipe, too. I can't do phyllo (not g-free) so I just
make this like a normal pie.
3) I also cut up, roast and puree my own pumpkins for the
season. Cheaper, and the flavor is lighter and less sweet (they
usually mix pumpkin with sweeter hubbard squash) and less brown
too.
Pumpkin pie spice... well if you're talking about the actual
spice mix, that is actually pretty close to Indian spices (which
may also have black pepper, cardamom, cumin or a few other
spices in also) and it makes a good chai spice base if you put
in black pepper, too. Maybe vanilla, for a more western sweet
chai flavor.
Right now I have a sweet garam masala I am using for tea
instead, but I also like pumpkin pie spice chais.
4) I do not buy anything "pumpkin spice." No processed food. No
coffee, etc. I bought a vial of pumpkin spice once, curious to
see what it was like in liquid form. It smelled like Old Spice
(or Newman's chai tea, ugh) so yuck. No.
Each to their own taste, but the traditional blend of sweet
spices (pumpkin spice, apple pie spice, garam masala) is warming
and helps stimulate your body heat for fall/winter. So even if
you don't like THAT precise blend, some sweet spices will do you
good this season.

With beer it starts showing up in July, which is crazy.
They are really pumpkin pie beers. Nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice.

Hm. The pumpkin pie recipe that I creatively copied from the
can of pumpkin doesn't call for allspice.

Yes, totally agree. The rebel in me digs in her heels and
deliberately ignores pumpkin. I bake with apples, pears,
cranberries. If I want a custard-style pie at Thanksgiving, I
bake Pecan. It's almost childish how much I hate the
pumpkin-worship.
[/quote]
Me: Why choose? Pumpkin and pecan BOTH rock.
Now I gotta go find the recipe for the pumpkin cheesecake with
the pecan crust and bourbon-maple sauce...
[/quote]
Yes! The pies of Thanksgiving are pumpkin, pecan, and a fruit -
usually cranberry, as my mother really liked something tart to
cut through all the sweet desserts.

And corn syrup? Or do you do without the corn syrup?
