I can't believe nobody has commented about the second guy's response. He uses a pumpkin shell as a casserole! Sweet.

Pumkin spice latte from Starbucks. Coffee is food right?

pie would be the number 1 but i like the bread as well and get a lot of requests for it. i normally give a loaf of pumpkin bread in a basket and a couple of the pumkin brews available at this time of year for each neighbor and the kids teachers.

Pumpkin pie, cheesecake, bread, cookies, muffins. My family will eat any of these I make. I also make pumpkin cheesecakes for friends and family. That can't wait till this time of year to find out who gets the few that I make. I've even sold a few to others that have tried the ones my friends and family get. I love this time of year. The house smells soooo good!!!

Walkdog262, commenters on this forum never read the article before posting. They just skip straight to the comments section.

The pumpkin roll that my mom makes every year at Thanksgiving just for me. She makes apple dumplings for everyone else but I have a BAD association with cooked apples that goes back 30+ years. I won't go into the details but it involves eating a bunch of apple crisp and an apple dumpling before going to bed and then coming down with the flu in the middle of the night. Ick. Can't eat cooked or raw apples to this day.

Pumpkins are for eating, not just smashing?

I submitted my response early enough in the morning that I didn't really pay attention to the OTS pics/responses. Levi sure bears a strong resemblance to Adam Savage, doesn't he?

Bread.

There are hundreds of variations on this... but here is the one that seems closest to the one we enjoyed two or three years ago:http://tasteoftwinsburg.blogspot.com/2007/11/pumpkin-dump-cake.htmlI guarantee you: Once you take the first bite, you'll toss your fork or spoon into the sink, and head out back of the house to fetch a shovel... it's that good!--Ag
