why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

i wonder if the backlash against pumpkin coffee is similar to the backlash against pumpkin beer. 50% ppl who genuinely think the taste is not as good as all the seasonal hype, and 50% jerks who believe *real beer* or *real coffee* is manly, and spicing it up w/ pumpkin is a move for women who may not otherwise like the normal tastes of those beverages (i've definitely heard ppl refer to like mike's hard lemonade and other sweet alcoholic beverages as 'girly drinks' and like frappachinos and stuff as 'girly coffees' so maybe it's a similar phenomenon regarding pumpkin drinks).

the pumpkin spice epidemic is bad enough that I was willing to believe the pumpkin spice condom image was real

Ugh I bet that pumpkin apple candle smells wretched. Just looking at the jar is giving me a headache.

Mordy, I bet you are OTM about girly drinks backlash.

I'm british, I've eaten pumpkin pie, it ranges from ok to grim. (nowhere near as good as all of our Christmas food that they don't get in the U.S., but don't tell them that)

but pumpkin pie isn't christmas food. it's thanksgiving food.

Otoh we don't get Burmese pumpkin curry although we can buy kobucha squashes in Waitrose, which is what the curry ie actually made from...

Xp yeah but our Christmas season starts about now and we don't have Thanksgiving.

I made a pumpkin pie last year, it was somewhere between a custard tart and a treacle tart (and it's a tart, obviously, not a pie).

The confusion about pumpkin latte has come about imo due to the American idiom of calling some foodstuffs what they're used with, not what they're made from (see also Duck Sauce, which is plum sauce to the rest of the world).

Coffee cake

a pumpkin pie is a terrific pie

whereas I once had nachos around christmas time in london, and these london christmas nachos were awful let me tell you

steak fries

Trader Joe's now has Austrian pumpkin seed oil. If you do not know it, buy it and put some on a salad on maybe a fresh mozerellaCaprese salad kind of thing or put it in a soup. That stuff rules.

Almost all the canned pumpkin in the U.S. comes from downstate Morton. Most of the people who pack it come from the tiny Mexican town of La Soledad.

worth a read

pumpkins are great, they taste great and also make cats poop

quality drop shadow there on garfield, glad they took the time for that

had no idea garfield was from the south, this changes everything

Davis is from Indiana, which is definitely one of the souths of the north.

prove it

anyway I am from very northern indiana and I balk at indiana being southern

i was at a bus stop in gary once, gary is a p southern name

birthplace of famous country & western musician michael jackson

gary is the dumbest name for a city. the rest of the names have to be named bruce and carl and stuff or else.

Wilson Pickett was from Alabama, Sufjan.

had no idea there was an alabama in sufjan

Works oddly well to the ''Gary, Indiana'' tune actually

Sufjan, Alabama. Born and raised.

sweet potato pie >> pumpkin pie, mostly b/c of texture.

no idea about sweet potato lattes tho

you can eat as many pies as you want

helps cats poop

my cat eats too many envelopes sometimes and then needs help with that

she's stopped eating the pumpkin unfortunately and still isn't pooping :(
