@autumn@null@yassie_j really?! the flavour is really about the spices more than the pumpkin imo, to the point that if i recognise some combination of cinnamon / ginger / nutmeg / cloves together its enough for me to think “oh it’s pumpkin!” for a second before noticing the lack of the actual pumpkin flavour lol. if it were actually just straight up pumpkin i would sooner think of a squash. But regardless it’s great, for sure one of my faves
@h@yassie_j@null this isn't a british thing i think this is just a me thing because my parents grow them and funny enough its never with those spices so im definitely able to pickup on it (and differentiate from squash) like the type of stuff we make from pumpkins is like soup, put them in the oven like you would potatoes, put them Into mashed potatoes. stuff like that.
@autumn@yassie_j@null that sounds great i would love to have that!! unrelatedly cause i just remembered it but around the same time of year some parts of the US have a dish thats just mashed sweet potatoes, topped with marshmallows, and then baked. not something my closer family did but when id see extended family for thanksgiving sometimes theyd do this and it was good.. theres lots of american autumnal food things
