5:27 Shout out to Max! (Tasting History with Max Miller) from a 2 year old video titled "Pumpion Pie from 1670" Also, at 6:09 it's Townsends a channel exploring the 18th Century lifestyle. Both great channels worth checking out. 😀
Yesss! I love Max too! I hope he gets to check out his video being used as a visual reference. I'm subbed to Townsends, but haven't really watched yet.
Shout out to my wife for loving PSLs, and refusing to show any interest in a pumpkin spiced history video, or 69 second pumpkin spiced recap performed by her husband. This video has proven to be a real gem.
In the Netherlands we have pretty much exactly the same blend of spices, but we don't use it with pumpkin. It's called "cookie spices" because they're used for spiced cookies, and rather than pumpkin it's paired with almond paste and brown sugar.
You can eat turkey roast and cranberry sauce ever day if you want. But most people don't, because they like certain types of food and drink at certain times of the year.
The real fun thing is that its only popular in the USA, never seen that stuff anywhere in europe only like once a year at Starbucks and noone want that stuff
I _LOVE_ pumpkin pie. This is my 2nd favorite time of year just because of that. I know I can buy it any time, or even make it, but this time of year it is acceptable to do so. I get weird looks when I request pumpkin pie from family as my birthday "cake" in July. Pumpkins were once called "pumpion". I read a recipe from 1658 for "Pumpion Pye", in a book called _The Compleat Cook_ . I never made it, but it was neat to see that the dish goes so far back.
Yess, it should be whatever the birthday person wants. My mom usually requests flan, 1000 layers cake or chocolate cake with ice cream. The rest of us always get chocolate cake with ice cream. I think you would like pumpkin bread with chocolate chips, its perfection, you should try it!
Pumpkin is king of pies for me especially with pumpkin spice, a bit of sugar, extra cinnamon and some whipped cream. Then pair it with some coffee, or stout tea.
It's basicly like indian Masala Chai (Tea) but with coffee. You can make it yourself. Buy the spices whole and let them simmer (not boil) in water: Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel seeds... actual black peppercorns... there's plenty of room for experiments.
I'm not a weirdo that raves about pumpkin spice whenever it's fall, but I do like it, and I wish some pumpkin spice things were year round. Like donuts, I think the pumpkin spice flavor goes good with it. Maybe I'll try to make the spice blend myself, I never really realized that it's not that complicated
4:20 We still have a full-service gas station in my hometown (Burwell, Nebraska), where the attendants wash your windshield and pump your gas. It is called Burwell Independent Oil.
“Spices such as rosemary, thyme, sage and parsley”… those are HERBS! Those were popular with poorer people as they could grow them themselves so weren’t just cheaper, they were basically free.
@@victoriahedlund7415 I don’t think so, you get dried herbs and herbs tend to be leaves and stalks. Spices are dried and ground seeds, bark or fruit of a plant.
@redstar8226 I was going to respond with 'how 'bout no?' Then I read ur response. 🤣🤣🤣. Ur response definitely beat mine! I speak as someone who LOVES pumpkin pie, but otherwise detests anything else pumpkin spice flavored.

@@markgaudry7549 Right, You are, Sir! Absolutely! Don't mess with our Grapes. Don't even look at 'em the wrong way. And if You even think about 'em ... You'd better think good thoughts. Else, ... Well, I'd hate to think. Thanks for the accurate note! ~TD PS: Its a Gpod Life
It's Weird History Food Sunday! What a cool video about Pumpkin Spice, I didn't know it had such a history/story. Would be awesome to see more Autumn/Fall videos, especially Halloween ones, if you can!
8:00 I was once tasked with making a pumpkin spice syrup for a diner I was working at... and I put pumpkin puree in it as an experiment. That recipe won out and I was making a gallon of it a day during October. This was in Salem, MA, by the way. So there's gotta be something to it
3:09 Bones Coffee has a flavor called Santa Jack (with Jack Skellington on the label), it is inspired by the film The Nightmare before Christmas. The flavor is described as Cranberry Creme Brulee.
Pumpkin Spice is the McRib of coffees, it's here for a limited time so we consume it till it's gone. But if it stayed longer, we would get tired of it.
I wasn't looking at the screen for a sec and thought i heard "they put it in their pestos" @4:55 and i was like "pumpkin pesto might be pretty good." (You did in fact say "frescoes" ) but now i'm getting a recipe idea for that squash on the counter and all them herbs in the yard... I just came for some weird food history but i'm leaving with dinner inspiration for weird food presently.
In Wisconsin, fall doesn't start until Culver's brings back the Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Concrete Mixer, and winter starts as soon as it's gone, minus the snow that may have already piled up in the northern parts of the state by late October/November
I want to shoutout to James Townsend for his brief cameo eating pumpkin pie from one of his cooking vids found on his Townsends channel on YT. I enjoy his 17-18th century American history coupled with cooking channel.
As a southern girl, if it doesn't taste like pumpkin pie, I don't want it. Pumpkin spice drinks from establishments never deliver for me. Now the food bloggers have some recipes that blow the coffee joints out of the water. Even still, I'm more partial the the Apple Brown Sugar combo for fall, in general.
Please do an episode about kale. When I was a kid, I used to eat the garnish, which was kale, probably not washed... now it seems like kale suddenly became popular
As a pumpkin spice/autumn/Halloween machine that starts powering up her systems as prematurely as early August every single year, I can answer this 13-minute video in a matter of seconds! Because It's Tasty, Mate 🎃🍂☕
Bwahaha--"New World, Who Dis?" @3:25 It's the little touches of blink-and-you-miss-it humour that make the Weird History channels my favourites. It feels like a reward for my ADHD somehow.
I hate that some foods are only available for short windows. If I like a food, I'd gladly have it anytime. I can understand stuff like egg nog being seasonal because of the shelf life, but there is no reason why pumpkin spice couldn't be available year round. I'd gladly have it anytime.
For a long time, I never could grasp the reasons for the appeal of pumpkin spice. Nowadays, just about anything and everything from foods, drinks, and other things have encompassed this flavor. I'm not too crazy about it, but at least after seeing this video, I now am fully aware of its' universal appeal. Thanks WHF for the very interesting and insightful video. 🎃🍁🍂🧡💛🖤
10:23 When my friend and I went to a Redman/Everclear concert in Lincoln, Nebraska, the mayor of Lincoln gave Everclear frontman Art Alexakis the key to the city. Art was so caught off guard for the gesture that he said "My mom wouldn't get me a key to our house!" right before he started to rock his guitar.
I fought the urge to try pumpkin spice until it started to get big in 2008. I had my first Pumpkin Spice coffee from a Speedway on my way to work. It was good. I only had three more during that fall and then maybe have one a season each year since then. I do the same with McDonalds Shamrock shakes - one is enough.
I love the shamrock oreo mcflurry but I only did the grimace shake once as well. I've had some pumpkin spice coffees from gas station convenience stores but pumpkin cream cold brew at Starbucks is the newer thing.
11:59 I saw a commercial recently about the Hooked On Phonics girl as an adult mother...that was psychelic. Even Don Draper would have loved that commercial!
Wow! I just learned something today! I didn’t know the history of pumpkin spice. Thank you for your videos. Every time I watch one I learn something new.
I've loathed and despised pumpkin and pumpkin spice my whole life and try to avoid it but it is ubiquitous this time of year. I go to group dinners this time of year where there is only pumpkin pie for dessert and some people are like what is wrong with you why do you not like it? I look forward to the eggnog and peppermint coming soon.
Mmmmm liquid christmas cookies! I love it! It doesn't hurt if you also add a little cardamom. The weather is a little too warm for UGG boots just yet, but when it gets colder I'm going to cuddle up with all the warm, spicy beverages.
Really interesting! I actually never heard about the whole pumpkin spice thing until two or three years ago but never paid much attention to it because it seemed to be one of these over the top hypes. This year I read up a bit about it because "what does that even mean?" Ended up learning it's regular cookie seasoning with a fancy name and spices I throw in my tea every once in a while anyway. Looks like I haven't been missing out on anything 😅
Fascinating stuff. With North American Halloween Culture slowly crossing the pond, maybe one day I will try Pumpkin Pie and find out what all the fuss is about. Pumpkin Spice likewise. Much like Carol Singers, Trick or Treaters are not that common and not well regarded. Samhain remains popular, but no longer carries any religious connotations. Mischievous night was tremendous fun when we were children. Besides, Bonfire Night is a much bigger deal. We much preferred standing in the middle of a muddy field, in the freezing rain, watching wood and tyres emilite an effigy of Guy Fawkes. Pie and Peas and a Hip Flask are demonstrably better than begging for Spogs.
@@lakrids-pibe That sounds wonderful. I am not a fan of Mince Pies and Christmas Pudding, yet we get them every year. Suet Pudding is rank. I wish I grew up in your town.
Do it! You won’t be disappointed. The trick is to have it cold with whipped cream. I once celebrated Thanksgiving in Ireland in a restaurant in Dublin. It was actually quite good. The establishment served turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasted parsnips and turnips (which aren’t usually served in the US but I found to be quite delicious), pumpkin pie and pecan pie. I highly recommend it. It was a good time. Take your friends- I’m sure the UK has similar arrangements at local restaurants. If you go for dinner you’ll probably catch American football on the television (if it’s that sort of place as football is very big on thanksgiving). If not, try making your own pie using tinned pumpkin. It’s an extremely easy one bowl recipe, and will make your house smell AMAZING. If you do make one I hope you come back and let me know how you like it.
@@greywater3186 Beautifully said. Thank you. We haven't eaten Turkey in donkey's. We will stick with Roast beef. Chicken & Pork chops most likely, but the rest is the same. Roast Potatoes in Goose fat with Yorkshire Pud would be essential fare too. Who doesn't love a feast, especially at Crimbo and on Sundays. Your afters sound grand. I will ask my better half to follow your guidelines. I will let you know.
@@greywater3186 Just to let you know. We spent Saturday with some friends in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. They took us to an Artisan Baker's. Plenty of delicious bread orientated choices. The shop also sells locally sourced Jam, Honey, Preserves and Pickles. Expensive, but worth the price for a little luxury. And joy of joys they stock their own Pumpkin Spice, along with the ingredients to make one's own blend. I was reminded of childhood with all the smells. Mid-day we visited a Traditional English Coffee Shop with Tea Rooms. And so I picked the Pumpkin Pie with Double Cream and enjoyed my Taylor's Coffee. Oh dear. I did not enjoy the Pie. If it were not for the Pumpkin Spice, I probably would have not taken a second bite. It just isn't for me. I much prefer an old-fashioned Apple Crumble with custard. Better yet, Rhubarb and Custard. We grow and force our own Rhubarb along with Gooseberries. We are lucky enough to live in Rhubarb Country. where the soil is just right. I can not thank you enough for your recommendations. Adults celebrate Samhain, while children participate in Mischievous Night. There are plenty of Fancy Dress Parties at the end of October, (My wife still dresses as a Schoolgirl. I prefer to dress as a Napoleonic era Coldstream Guard), but Guy Fawkes & Bonfire Night always takes centre stage. Pork Pie and Mushy Peas will continue to beat Pumpkin Pie. I am looking forward to home-made biscuits, with Pumpkin Spice, next weekend. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your kind suggestions.
5:41 What an epic-sounding cook book! American orphans have the most challenging of home-life circumstances. In our current culture, it truly is "Me versus The World" for them.
In Thailand, we have similar craze for Thai tea - we just put it in everything eg. bun, pie, ice cream, cake and now even shower cream. I will try pumpkin spices soon now that it's become easier to obtain here.
Pumpkin Spice is the best Went to my local coffee shop and got a pumpkin spice latte, paired with my pumpkin spice bagel and pumpkin spice cream cheese. Not joking 😎🎃
I personally think it's kind of over-hyped. I remember growing up and my Grandma would make PS pancakes and PS creamer for her coffee with her Folgers coffee. This was in the late 90s and it wasn't just during the autumn months either. I do enjoy some of the PS products that get released during the season, but my family makes our own stuff most of the time so we can enjoy it year round.

Thank you for inadvertently helping me know what pumpkin spice tastes like! Signed, an Asian person who's had speculaas but not pumpkin spice.
That sounds delicious
Oh it's speculous? I've had that
In Finland it's known as gingerbread spice. Pumpkin spice is more cinnamon-heavy
A funny thing is, a lot of these companies have enough to do Pumpkin Spice year round but don't. Because this is the peak time to capitalize on it
Chu ching! 💰 🤑 💸 💲

I been tryna make it out the hood so on my UA-cam channel i do food reviews while I’m high 😩
I once made my own pumpkin spice syrup and added it into pancakes (replace 1/4 cup of the liquid ingredients). Delicious!
That does sound good :) I've had pumpkin pancakes from Denny's before and they tasted just like the pie, very good!
What time is breakfast?

I've never understood why people think something is delicious but refuse to eat more than one day a year! Why deprive yourself of the joy?
I can eat pumpkin pie, if it is buried under so much whipped cream that you may never find the pie.
A true man of taste I see
Pumpkin is king of pies for me especially with pumpkin spice, a bit of sugar, extra cinnamon and some whipped cream. Then pair it with some coffee, or stout tea.

Never understood Pumpkin Spice’s popularity. As John Oliver once said, it tastes like a candle smells.
artificial maybe but many candles are made to smell like things like apple cinnamon to sugar cookie as well.
Do a video on all the crops we have Native Americans to thank for (tomato, potato, corn, bell pepper etc)
Pumpkin Spice has no legitimate reason to be seasonal, nor does it need to be used on EVERYTHING. But, it IS really good with SOME products.

You don't have to make pumpkin pie. Make pecan and others better pies
Or do the one weird trick where pumpkin pie doesn’t actually have to contain any pumpkin, make it out of sweet potato instead
I love the pumpkin(actual pumpkin) and spice combo. But I have found just the spice part isn't as appealing to my taste buds.
Also I spy tasting history! 🥰
Just saying.. I love this channel!! thank you all for a fun unique-ish experience...

Pumpkin pie is great
Has anyone tried just snorting straight pumpkin spice? Seems like that would be the most direct way of enjoying it.
Medieval Europe used pumpkin spices all the time. Modern chefs sees these spices paired as sweet, but historically spice palates were different.
You can never have too much pumpkin spice anything
I beg to differ.
I remember having a pumpkin spice cappuchino-type drink at a Kwik Trip gas station in the late 90's...Starbucks did not invent anything...
If they come out with an apple pie latte then I'll give that a try ;) I'm more parcial to apple pie than pumpkin. ♥
starbucks has apple crumble or whatever shaken espresso. A bit sweeter than the pumpkin flavored stuff imo.
What about that Bumpkin spice though?
Now I want a pumpkin spice milk shake
11:37 I remember the haters for television, video games, and cartoons when they were gaining a certain level of popularity.

If you do make one I hope you come back and let me know how you like it.
@@greywater3186 Beautifully said. Thank you. We haven't eaten Turkey in donkey's. We will stick with Roast beef. Chicken & Pork chops most likely, but the rest is the same. Roast Potatoes in Goose fat with Yorkshire Pud would be essential fare too. Who doesn't love a feast, especially at Crimbo and on Sundays. Your afters sound grand. I will ask my better half to follow your guidelines. I will let you know.
@@greywater3186 Just to let you know. We spent Saturday with some friends in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. They took us to an Artisan Baker's. Plenty of delicious bread orientated choices. The shop also sells locally sourced Jam, Honey, Preserves and Pickles. Expensive, but worth the price for a little luxury. And joy of joys they stock their own Pumpkin Spice, along with the ingredients to make one's own blend. I was reminded of childhood with all the smells. Mid-day we visited a Traditional English Coffee Shop with Tea Rooms. And so I picked the Pumpkin Pie with Double Cream and enjoyed my Taylor's Coffee. Oh dear. I did not enjoy the Pie. If it were not for the Pumpkin Spice, I probably would have not taken a second bite. It just isn't for me. I much prefer an old-fashioned Apple Crumble with custard. Better yet, Rhubarb and Custard. We grow and force our own Rhubarb along with Gooseberries. We are lucky enough to live in Rhubarb Country. where the soil is just right. I can not thank you enough for your recommendations. Adults celebrate Samhain, while children participate in Mischievous Night. There are plenty of Fancy Dress Parties at the end of October, (My wife still dresses as a Schoolgirl. I prefer to dress as a Napoleonic era Coldstream Guard), but Guy Fawkes & Bonfire Night always takes centre stage. Pork Pie and Mushy Peas will continue to beat Pumpkin Pie. I am looking forward to home-made biscuits, with Pumpkin Spice, next weekend. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your kind suggestions.
5:41 That is a cook book that someone like Little Orphan Annie would own.
And there are all of the pumpkin spice air fresheners, sprays, and candles. All available in the Fall.
Someone I know hadd an apple and cinnamon air freshener on in the middle of summer this year, it was just plain wrong!

5:41 What an epic-sounding cook book!
American orphans have the most challenging of home-life circumstances.
In our current culture, it truly is "Me versus The World" for them.
This video could be 5 seconds long and just have bold text "it tastes good"
In Thailand, we have similar craze for Thai tea - we just put it in everything eg. bun, pie, ice cream, cake and now even shower cream. I will try pumpkin spices soon now that it's become easier to obtain here.
This would be a good time to talk about the Punkin' Chunkin' contest.
I didn’t like pumpkin spice at first. It took years of Starbucks having to keep tweaking their formula for me to finally like it.
Pumpkin Spice is the best
Went to my local coffee shop and got a pumpkin spice latte, paired with my pumpkin spice bagel and pumpkin spice cream cheese. Not joking 😎🎃
The intro picture of that group of women who loves pumpkin has me dying and the ugg boot reference 😂😂😂😂
Bkuz their to nice😬thank you E cider just spewd out mi nose I laughed so hard💰😎🚬😤
So glad I live in the UK.
For autumn, I prefer lavender jam with lavender cream on a plain, homemade lavender scone.
Nobody asked
I personally think it's kind of over-hyped. I remember growing up and my Grandma would make PS pancakes and PS creamer for her coffee with her Folgers coffee. This was in the late 90s and it wasn't just during the autumn months either. I do enjoy some of the PS products that get released during the season, but my family makes our own stuff most of the time so we can enjoy it year round.
I'am a BASIC B***H that loves him some Pumpkin Spice and I have ZERO regrets!
One of my favorite sayings you do you I'll do me😅
