The pumpkin thread

I like pumpkin pie in its season and pumpkin bread most any old time. I even like pumpkin seeds lightly salted. This whole pumpkin spice thingy is a marketing ploy that has gotten so out of hand as to become a joke. But, as every one knows, "Marketing is the root of all evil" (as I used to frequently remind my former employer's VP of Marketing.)
 
Don't know anything about all the Pumpkin Spice foods and drinks mentioned, but I do love to make Pumpkin Bread when the weather gets cooler around here.
A recipe that I work around somewhat ....

It's a very moist bread/cake, but my grandkids call it Gingerbread, because I guess I put plenty of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg in the loaves.

There was a private bakery near me that used to make these pumpkin gobs. She would put raisins and nuts in the cake part. Not too moist but not too dry and wouldn't overdo it with the spice. Those I found pretty good.
 
I love anything related to winter squash. I've had pumpkin pie in more way imaginable, pumpkin soup and even ice cream. Sometimes I just get a can of plain pumpkin pie filling and eat it.
