White bean pumpkin chili? I guess at least it's not pumpkin spice chili. But nope. Nope. Nopity nope. No pumpkin chili for this little old lady.

God gave Mother Nature the sense to invent pumpkins so that we could have pumpkin pie. I'm gonna stick with pumpkin pie because I don't wanna annoy Mother Nature.
 

@Pinky I didn't mind it when pumpkin spice first came on the scene, but it's been done to death and incorporated into some really bizarre things.

@PamfromTx Take my first-born. Take my chocolate. Do not even think about taking my pumpkin pie! Or as my mother used to say to my greedy brothers at the dinner table "Something you want? Fine. Ask. But reach across the table one more time and you'll pull back a bloody stump!"

Is it dark chocolate?
 
I agree about Pumpkin Spice fad. But take a look around, lots of non necessity foods have for quite a while coming up with new flavors in the opes of drawing new customers-- chips, candy bars, ice ceam, coffees (tho i know some would argue coffee is a necessity).

The only other pumpkin thing i like besides pumpkin pie, is a stew i sometimes make in a pumpkin.
 
Pumpkin itself has little to no flavor in my opinion; it seems it's the traditional spices we use to give it flavor that people love or don't love.

Years ago when my grandsons were little they spent Halloween at my home. Aside from other things, I made this creamy pumpkin soup and served it in little pumpkins for them. Amazingly they ate it being picky kids and they loved it. I think they loved it because it really didn't taste like much of anything.

I don't remember the ingredients but I do remember there was a little bit of onion and celery involved, I think.
 
@Ruthanne Beware! I'm absolutely convinced that white bean pumpkin chili probably would kill you! Ew:sick:

I used to be one of those people who said I'd try something once. Then I tried escargot. That cured me. If it sounds or looks skeezy, count me out. Not gonna chance it with eel or octopus, for instance. Nor mountain oysters. Thanks anyway.

Pumpkin pie? Absolutely! A pumpkin loaf cake? Sure. With a cup of coffee, but not pumpkin spice coffee.

I didn't know you were so funny! Your posts are so cute!
 
@PamfromTx Yeah. Dark. Has antioxidants so I can eat a lot of it to ward off evil diseases and ignore the fat content. But after thinking about it today, you're not getting my dark chocolate or my pumpkin pie (first-born still up for grabs, though; he just turned 60 last month).

Ah, come on, mountain oysters are delicious! :) When I was young, we used to wonder if yankees would eat them if they were on the menu, because there is no way we would, knowing what they are. I won't eat oysters (mountain or otherwise), eel, octopus, clams (with that round ball thing on them), escargot ... geez, I guess I just don't like weird (to me) foods. When I grew up the fried clams didn't have the round ball thing on them.
