@null@h@yassie_j hows it going autumn, yeah honestly the only reason i have is because my parents grow them. i dont think we'd ever have any pumpkin anything if it wasn't for that
@autumn@yassie_j@h going hot but pretty well thanks, hows it going autumn, and ooo damn thats pretty cool !!! idk if its just a british thing or my family being weird or whatever, but i dont see much pumpkin stuff outside of like halloween or smth
@null@h@yassie_j yeah pretty well here too autumn. been pretty hot hasnt it autumn? i think its a british thing tbh like halloween is the only time you really think about pumpkins, and i don't see many people actually using them in dishes lol
@autumn@yassie_j@h thats good autumn, and yeah its been pretty hot autumn, thankfully this autumn lives in the one part of the uk that isnt super duper hot thankfully. and yeah absolutely, i wonder if theres an actual reason for that or idk we just dont use pumpkins
@null@h@yassie_j oh that's so good autumn. ive been melting lowkey but managing 🫠. and i think rather than "its not a thing here" its more like "its an american thing" where they probably developed all the awesome pumpkin based things and used pumpkin as a base because it's probably one of the only things that grew and could feed a lot of people, that type of thing. and its just been Present in culture ever since
@autumn@null@yassie_j this + non-pumpkin pie things that have the pumpkin spice flavour were made way more common by starbucks doing the pumpkin spice latte as a limited time thing for autumn every year and being massively successful so now every year in autumn every single place has an autumn pumpkin spice treat so its tradition now
@autumn@null@yassie_j it’s seasonal here too but it is in fact in dishes (mostly treats though definitely not exclusively, and more “pumpkin spice” than “pumpkin”)
