I was curious enough to try making it but I used butternut squash which was too potato-like in texture. That is the only time I've eaten it.
Next time I will use tinned pumpkin puree as recommended by My Dog Jesse and Kath.
The taste was very nice, I love nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice.
And I like my pumpkin pie on the dryer side, or more firm.

Re: Meanwhile in America
Key lime pie sounds nice.
Similar to our lemon meringue pie I guess.

Applebys is an American chain restaurant usually in walking distance of big box stores. It sells itself as better food with atmosphere, but is slop at higher prices. I'll take a classic American Diner anyday.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 1:29 pmI have no idea what Applebys is.C-Mag wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 1:07 pmAlrighty, you enjoy your Applebys slop, where they hide inferior ingredients with spices and sauces made from recycled butter off the plates of last weeks customers.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 10:02 am
Nothing wrong with being a fussy eater either.
I respect your right to find challenging flavours difficult.
I think you are missing out, but it's no business of mine.
I rarely eat food made by anyone else.
In fact, the last time was an award-winning, woodfired oven, authentic Naples style pizzeria nearby.
I was very disappointed by its undercooked base and the sparsity of cheese and toppings on it.
That's twice in the last year (family birthdays) that it has been poor IMO and I won't be going again.

Re: Meanwhile in America
Pineapple pizza is classic cross cooking. Calling it Hawaiian is wrong though. Probably a marketing ploy. The inspiration came from sweet and sour pork so a proper name for it would be Hong Kong or Cantonese pizza.
The typical pizza Margherita with the Italian flag colors, red (tomato), green (basil), and white (mozzarella) was invented in the late 1800's and can be argued to be cross cooking as well. Pizzas didn't have tomato on them earlier and tomatoes came to Italy from South America.
Italians really embraced tomatoes, didn't they.

Re: Meanwhile in America
In the early 2000s they weren't so bad. I want to say the quality took a dive about ten years or so ago.
They were never great, but they weren't *that* bad like what you get now.
Really, most of those kinds of chain restaurants went that way. I think TGIF is the only one that upped their game.
