I have this theory that no one actually cares for the taste of pumpkin, but rather it is only a medium for the delicious accompanying spice cocktail.
Thoughts?

Nah, pumpkin’s good stuff. So good, in fact, that it’s worth going to one of the many pumpkin festivals you can find this time of year.

i do not like the taste of pumpkin… but i work with a friend who does. His hometown has a festival based off the pumpkin and they enjoy things that include pumpkin… the most interesting to me is Pumpkin Donuts. Mmmm Donut….

should i assume you’re talking about the Pumpkin Spice Latte from starbucks?

Agreed. Ever emptied out a pumpkin? The smell will bowl you over.

I ate a handful of raw pumpkin once on a dare. it wasn’t bad…a little bland, though. my grandma makes pumpkin soup. it’s pretty good, but also kinda bland.
i think you’re right…

I’ll have to disagree with you on this one. I only add 1/8 of a teaspoon of cinnamon and just a shake of nutmeg to my pumpkin cake. And that pre-made “pumpkin pie spices” stuff? ICK.

You know? I think I may be on board with this theory. Pumpkin spices are supremely awesome, but pumpkin by itself … meh.
