Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Pumpkin does tend to be overdone this time of year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 There are some pumpkin beers that tastes like a pumpkin pie spice overload. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Some pumpkin stuff is good. Like pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheese cake, pumpkin spice English muffins (with cinnamon cream cheese) and pumpkin dip with ginger snaps. Pumpkin spice Oreos are awful.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 My list is: - some pumpkin beers- pumpkin fudge That is all. Oh and I only want to see them in October. When I see pumpkin beer on tap before Labor Day... :gaah: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CitaPita...Carmen 59 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 This is where I admit that I don't like pumpkin anything. Pumpkin pie grosses me out, and even the smell of a jack-o-lantern makes me ill. I do, however, like John Oliver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Oh and I only want to see them in October. When I see pumpkin beer on tap before Labor Day... :gaah: You couldn't get me to drink a pumpkin beer. While I'm not fond of the pie spices they add I can live with it. Where the problem comes in for me is the pumpkin itself making the beer taste musty. And I hear you on the holiday skew. It's like they are following the professional sports lead and keep extending the season until they overlap for months at a time. :banghead: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Pumpkin spice Oreos are awful. I knew that without ever trying one. I sure hope Mrs. TCD never spots these in the store and wants to try them. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have been trying some of the pumpkin ales that have recently been released. Some aren't that bad, but most are tolerable at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have no clue who that guy is and I couldn't care less what he thinks about pumpkin.Now if he was pontificating about apple pie, well then maybe I'd listen to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have no clue who that guy is and I couldn't care less what he thinks about pumpkin.Now if he was pontificating about apple pie, well then maybe I'd listen to him.Pumpkin pie, made correctly, is my favorite pie. As we can lure Lou with apple pie you could hook me with pumpkin pie or chocolate cream pie!Haven't and don't want to taste all the other pumpkin flavored stuff. But pumpkin pie with real whip cream and a cold glass of milk is a wonderful breakfast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I LOVE pumpkin pie. And I find pumpkin bread and muffins to be pretty good. But that's about it. My prediction.....2014 will end up being the high water mark year as far as all of this pumpkin flavored craziness. It all picked up steam after 9/11, when people were looking for comfort and found it in old-fashioned, hunker down at home with a fire and some fall flavored goodness, pumpkiny treats. The pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks was one of the first major products that capitalized on this, and it's grown every year since. But this year it seems lots of people are tiring of it, and I bet sales will drop, leading to a retrenchment in the whole pumpkin flavored marketing thing. At least that's my opinion. And my hope. Starting in 2015, a new fall food trend will come to life in America.....the warm, ooey gooey.....well, you know. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The day they come out with a cinnamon roll beer is the day I blow up the brewery that did it. Oh the horror just thinking about it. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5kidsmommy 18 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I like pumpkin pie, when I make it. I make pumpkin rolls and they are good, but once again I prefer when I make them. The idea of pumpkin flavored beverages makes me kind of ill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cindymac11 43 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Pumpkin Cheesecake....mmmmm pumpkin cheeesecake...oh how I love thee pumpkin cheesecake. Pumpkin Spice Latte - - - you taste like a foot. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 ...pumpkin pie with real whip cream and a cold glass of milk is a wonderful breakfast. Ok I'll give you that one. :) Seems like the key to the whole thing is that whatever it is is made with ACTUAL PUMPKIN. That means pumpkin bread, pie, cheesecake... all can work as long as there's actual pumpkin in them. It's all these weirdly "flavored" things, that contains who knows what really, that make most of this stuff taste like, as John Oliver put it, ...a candle. Or as Cindy put it... a foot. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The thing is so many of these flavored things just don't contain anything real, that goes for so many different flavors and that's why so many things taste like chemicals or candles or feet.

Might have to make a detour on our trip to Florida next week.In their defense, Terrapin Beer does brew some good beer, and this one isn't a straight up cinnamon roll beer. Looking over the ingredients, it sounds like it actually has a chance of being a good beer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
homebrew 14 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I just can't help but wonder.........why does it seem that an awful mess of folks here know what FEET taste like. :dropjaw: cindymac11 and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
