My mom's pumpkin pie is better than your mom's pumpkin pie, and there's nothing you can do about it.

[Cookiegod]

It's suicide by poor taste.

[Diamat]

Not gonna lie, the pork fate cake here looks pretty weird but the concept sounds good, so I'll be open minded.

I'll just go ahead and assume you've either never had a homemade pumpkin pie or you've had unflavored, unseasoned pumpkin in something and that's how you think pumpkin pie tastes like. LOL. It's akin to saying an apple by itself tastes like apple pie, or a fully loaded pizza tastes like a bland tomato with nothing else added to it. That doesn't make sense bro.

I've had store-bought pumpkin pie. Homemade is subjective. Store-bought is the general type.

Thats....not frosting?

No, that's melted pork fat. The brown pieces in the white are essentially bacon bits.

Home made pumpkin pie is almost always just the stuff bought out of a can in the store and then put into a pie crust at home. It's like buying one of those cake kits at walmart and saying your cakes are home made. I mean technically yeah but also no.

Not sure what you're talking about. You should typically avoid using canned pumpkin and carve out an ACTUAL pumpkin for the job. No grocery store on Earth that I'm aware of spices things correctly with the full range of stuff that you can use. Again, this is akin to saying a store bought apple pie is as good as a homemade one. That's patently false. Anyone older than 20 and who cooks knows this.

No wonder you have no idea what you're talking about, you bought grocery store pumpkin pie in Germany. It was probably made of sawdust and schnitzel.

[Akar]

What are the range of spices that you would recommend then? I don't really know how to turn the insides of the pumpkin into the filling for the pie itself. Is it just the raw pumpkin goo itself + nutmeg and other seasonings or do I need to do something more complex?

pls elaborate


your boy,

You tell her it's that fake one.
Doesn't matter, she's gonna taste meat soon anyway.

And that, kids, is the proper way to get some pumpkin pie.

I will tell her exatly what she said, gimme the deets and ill talk.

Seriously, though, pumpkin is just the base ingredient for pumpkin pie, along with egg and cream. LOL. The pie itself is FLAVORED with sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, etc. before it goes in the oven. So no, it's not just a tasteless mass of orange plant matter. Do you even bake, bro?

I'll agree with the soup thing, though, that much is very true. I've only had it a couple times, though.

A man of culture I see/.

I meant in the US. Much like the Jews in 1945, you can't find pumpkin pie in Germany.

very edgy comment mr birdman, i'm sure the yank bases all over germany have soldiers eating pumpinks.

[Diamat]

I'm East German. Ain't no yankees in our socialist republic.

[Akar]

We keep our nukes in Germany just to show you guys how much better we are

[Diamat]

Thanks for the free nukes, bro.

Oh snap!
In all seriousness, though, homemade pumpkin pie rules. Perhaps I was wrong to disparage the cooking traditions of non-Americans, but that's just how I roll. It got your attention, didn't it?

Firstly, extract the pumpkin innards and get rid of the damn seeds! As there will be a ton of seeds inside. You can keep the pumpkin goo chilled in the fridge for several days if necessary before the operation begins. Get a big ole mixing bowl, a huge one, and have an egg beater ready because you'll be mixing it hard. The following is my recipe for making two whole pies.

In the mixing bowl, put together 5 cups of pumpkin goo, 5 eggs, 1 and 3/4 cups of sugar, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of salt, 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of ginger, 3/4 a teaspoon of cloves, and 3 cups of cream (i.e. half-and-half, ultra pasteurized). Mix the hell out of it!

Separately, make the homemade pie crust for two separate pies! For that you'll need 1 cup of flour, 4 ounces of cream cheese, and an entire cube of butter.

Once you have filled the basin of your pie pan (ceramic or glass), pour in the pie filling over the crust. Put in the oven at 425 degrees Farhenheit (or 218 degrees Celsius for you foreigners) for just 15 minutes at first, then when that is done reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius) and bake for another 55 minutes.

can i cook a baby with the same ingredients if i sub baby for the pumpkin goo?

[Cookiegod]

Quite honestly dude... Your idea is disgusting.

Babies all over the place. You want that in your food? Whups, probably wouldn't make any difference.

[Akar]

Quite honestly I find you disgusting

[Roma_Victrix]

Cannibalism is in vogue this year, Akar, so go wild with that idea! Throw a Donner Party at your home too. May I suggest an aborted fetus, though, to make it more humane than sacrificing a living infant?

[Cookiegod]

Quite honestly I find you disgusting

I find that to be common sense.

[Akar]

Technically sacrificing a baby is humane, or at least the baby is human.

[Cookiegod]

They're parasites and any one of them could be the new Hitler.
They also know no fear.

pumpkin is one of those food that has become "popular" in modern times in Italy (ing vegans); my grandparents used them to feed pigs and if anyone tried to say to them "hey let's eat a pumpkin" they would have ended up with it .. well you get what I mean
