While I like almost all things apple-y, I generally don’t
like things pumpkin flavored. I love pumpkin in all forms – pie, bread, butter
(you should totally make pumpkin butter) – but find pumpkin-flavored things rarely
actually taste like pumpkin.
I suppose the problem is pumpkin is so bland the taste of it
is easily overridden. That’s not my problem, though. If you’re advertising
pumpkin flavor I expect you to deliver. Also, pumpkin spice is not pumpkin and
is usually too strong. I did not ask for an herbal/spicy something. I asked for
a pumpkin something.
That said we went to IHOP this past weekend and their
pumpkin pancakes were amazing. Not too spicy, perfectly pumpkin-y (although,
just like I said with the pumpkin spice lattes, I think the key is the whipped
cream on top to mellow the spice). Paul was a huge fan and tried to shove all
of MY pancakes in his mouth before I could eat them. The two of us looked like
we were in an eating contest.
As for the title of the post, I don’t think so. I prefer my
pumpkin pie without whipped cream, so
I get the full pumpkin taste.
