I’m struggling with this one. The humble pumpkin has long been a symbol of Halloween, but it is also a symbol of autumn, and the drift into cooler nights, crisp orange leaves upon the trees and the ground, and a certain cosiness that comes with the season. Pumpkins are also something else. They are a foodstuff, and autumn brings with it pumpkin-spiced lattes, pumpkin donuts, and of course, pumpkin pie.
I have to assume that someone, somewhere, likes these things, but I for one am perplexed. Pumpkin doesn’t actually taste very nice, does it? This meerkat has sampled pumpkin, and it’s kinda blearch, at least in my humble opinion. It’s hard to describe the taste, but I can say, quite conclusively, that to my taste buds, it ain’t right!
My question is, what do you all think of pumpkin flavoured products?

Good question, since it seems to be starting permeate UK culture.
Answer: As the one area I am solidly ‘British’ in my food….. I don’t. Pumpkins are somebody else’s problems or fixations. I know not, nor care not.
I can very much get behind your food philosophy!
Thank you.
One day I am going to write a very controversial post which might start a firestorm across WP and even get me banned.
The title will be:
‘This heresy of salted chocolate’
There! I’ve gone public with it!!
Hehe, well, I can’t speak to salted chocolate, though I don’t mind salted caramel.
It will be a post I shall have to tread very carefully with lest a culture war break out on WP.
I say trigger the food wars!
