    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.

    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.

    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.

      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 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.

    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.
