With the start of the holiday marathon – what most people think of them as Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s – also comes that unofficial sport of pie eating. Like many people I enjoy eating a good pie. I really haven’t met an apple pie I didn’t like.
In fact, that goes the same for peach, raspberry, banana cream, pecan, peanut butter, chocolate moose, blueberry, cherry, rhubarb, strawberry, chocolate hazelnut, key lime, macadamia nut, Mississippi mud, derby, olalieberry, sweet potato, Hoosier, blackberry and yes, even a hot homemade turkey or chicken pot pie.
But the one that I can’t seem to even choke down the tiniest bite would be the pumpkin pie.
In truth, I just don’t like eating anything that has a pumpkin taste to it. Growing up, I wasn’t a big fan of my mom’s pumpkin bars, with the homemade cream cheese frosting. “Yes” on the homemade cream cheese frosting, pumpkin bar not so much. If I did eat one of those bars, I would have to slap on as much extra frosting that little bar could hold.
I just don’t have the taste buds that enjoy the pumpkin flavor. To me, it’s the fruit cake of the pie world. I think that it sure makes mince meat pie feel better, and I would put mince meat above pumpkin pie. That should tell you how much I dislike Pumpkin.
I’m not the only one that thinks and feels this way. In fact, there is a Facebook group called “I hate Pumpkin Pie. The group even states, “That all the whipped cream in world could NOT redeem it.” And I would have to agree. But if you have a love of pumpkin pie, there is a group for you, too, called, “I Hate People that Hate Pumpkin Pie.”
The smell of pumpkin pie, on the other hand, is intoxicating to me. How is it something so gross can smell so wonderful? My mom has the same feeling but towards coffee. She loves the smell, but can’t stand the taste of it.
A few weeks ago, I found a car air freshener that is the sent of pumpkin pie. It’s called “Hot Homemade Pumpkin Pie.” So every time I get in my car, I get to enjoy that wonderful smell.
So this holiday season, eat all the pumpkin pie that you want, but be sure to save me a slice of that warm apple pie.
