We don't celebrate it here.:(

 

A friend made a pumpkin pie the other day. It was lovely but I couldn't taste the pumpkin at all.

Bummer! You need to go back in time, change history, make peace, come back, and celebrate a feast between the Celtic tribes, and the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes!:)

Not tasting the pumpkin - that can be a blessing in disguise!:P

(actually though it can be good - if the pumpkin is really good, the spices just right, or you use squash instead. I've had the canned pumpkin, and thought it was rather bland - new england pie pumpkins are much better, and fresh is best.;)

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE! :P

:laugh3:Now does that sound traditional?:P Bread Pudding maybe, or plum sauce, or squash pie, or cranberries, and others.

It's supposed to be a harvest feast, celebrating the peace and harmony between peoples - so it should be something related to the harvest, and the more local, the better.:smug:

I tasted a bit like an egg cake. :thinking: I think I like pumpkin. I quite like pumpkin soup anyway.

Hmm.. maybe too much egg, or a really dull pumpkin, it sounds like to me. You should always try looking for the Great Pumpkin, Sally.:P;)

I'm about to take my carb-coma nap now...:snore:
