11/5/21 BOCF - Pumpkin Pie

11/5/21

Prompt: “In November, the smell of food is different. It has an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog. Food is better in November than any other time of the year.”― Cynthia Rylant
Do you agree or disagree? Is there a particular dish that you associate solely with November?

The food/smell I associate most with November is pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice. It's everywhere this time of year. Candles and incense, air fresheners, coffee creamers, pumpkin nog, seasonal cookies, shakes, cappuccinos, iced coffees... and the list continues on. Don't get me wrong, I like pumpkin pie and I'll eat a slice of it each year on Thanksgiving but I think they've gone overboard with it over the last ten years or so.
