A review of all things pumpkin spice -- help us decide what's worthy or not this fall

Okay, I will take some natas for the team.

I have seen pumpkin spice cannoli and panettone around Toronto in the past.

Savory pumpkin. Gonna try this recipe.

Bookmarking this one - looks like it would be amazing with butternut squash and gruyere.

I purchased a few delicata squash because of the ease of slicing and edible skin. I’m using a combo of Gruyere and parm cheeses.

The Humphrey Slocombe ice cream shops in SF & Oakland are offering a sundae featuring their pumpkin galette ice cream atop a small individual pie crust. The ice cream tasted to me like there was real pumpkin puree in it.

This was as much real pumpkin as it was pumpkin spice, and it was delicious.
A Pumpkin Blondie with a shortbread base, and some caramel, I think.

At my local fish and chips shop in London, ON.

Trader Joe’s has pumpkin biscotti as a fall special, and they are pretty good! Not technically pumpkin spice, but it has a similar favor profile to the pumpkin spice/pumpkin pie goods.

Big thumbs down from Mr. Bionda today on Starbucks’ pumpkin loaf - it’s typically one of his favorites, but he claims they’ve changed it this year. After recently having their lemon loaf, which IMO has taken a drastic turn for the worse, I believe him.

Close enough!

The good news is that while the market has come up with such bizarreness as green tea and cucumber baby wipes, they have apparently not yet brought out pumpkin spice baby wipes.

I like the Tate’s cookies. Haven’t tried the coffee yet.

I like the coffee, too.

Worthy! The maple flavors with moisture from pumpkin is why these chewy, Fall inspired, cookies wound up baked.

I end up regretting every pumpkin thing I buy or order if it’s not the one obligatory Thanksgiving slice of pie.

I still sucker for a Fall pint of some pumpkin favored beer, but I grow weary of it before it’s gone.

Pumpkin spice candles are the Devil’s Spawn.
