We say it every year, but it really seems like everything is pumpkin flavored by the time October rolls around. Cupcakes, cookies, cereal - you name it - it's pumpkin flavored. For years, that's meant bad news for yours truly because I have hated pumpkin flavored anything. Thankfully, as previously stated, I've grown accustomed to the taste and have finally acquired it. But the honest question we have to ask ourselves is - is anything truly pumpkin flavored? I think, over time, companies have ditched the traditional pumpkin flavor and have opted to call a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and spices "pumpkin." All of you pumpkinheads have been weened off and over to this new version of the flavor while a guy like me can finally join you. Meanwhile, we're both wrong and blindly accept whatever this taste is for what it is.
