October 21: Do you like foods containing pumpkin (real pumpkin, not just pumpkin spice) and if so, what is your favorite?

Yes.  Pumpkin pie, although pumpkin cheesecake is good too.

 

I don't know that I've had many (any?) savory dishes that use pumpkin.  Maybe I should fix that.

I used to make a pretty fair pumpkin roll, but it's a lot of work, and you can buy them pretty cheap at most bakery/delis. 

 

I don't use pumpkin spice in much, instead I use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves because that allows me to adjust the ratio accordingly to my taste.

I remember having pumpkin pie once, and I think I liked it.

 

But it's just not a food stuff that's eaten in my part of the world, they only seem to get used as Halloween decorations (and even that feels like a fairly recent thing).

Yes. 

Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin muffins, Pumpkin pie are all good. 

I am too #culinarilychallenged to recognize pumpkin spice much less have an opinion about it.

I like pumpkin quite a bit. Pumpkin soup is pretty good. Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin cake. My favorite is pumpkin pie or baked pumpkin cheesecake. 

Never had pumpkin soup. 

Never had a pumpkin cake although I think it would just be a pumpkin muffin writ Large. 

I had a pumpkin cheesecake once. :wacko:

Yes.  I usually make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  I also have a recipe for a killer pumpkin pecan cake.

These sound good.

I like pumpkin in chili, too.  I've done pumpkin soup, but wasn't a fan of it plain.

I am willing to try these. Might wind up being just the once.

I did pumpkin salt caramel once, thought it was good but nobody else did.  That was before salt caramel became a thing.

Never had any sort of salt caramel.

Pie, cheesecake and muffins come to mind.  Keep it out of my coffee please!

I don't do pumpkin anymore (Mr. Thorne is allergic; it screws his digestion up something fierce), but I was never a fan of pumpkin pie anyway. 

The only thing I miss is pumpkin cake, which tended to include chocolate chips and cannot easily be described otherwise. Delicious.

Occasionally, I make a batch, with giant labels, and then clean... pretty much everything in the work space.

 

... maybe the kitchen is due a thorough cleaning. I have muffin pans.
