Used to be I would only eat pumpkin in pumpkin pie, and it had to be my recipe -
I've tried other people's versions and the spices aren't right. I've always used the recipe on the Libby's pumpkin can. (And, yeah, I know it's not really pumpkin in the pumpkin can. ;-) Anyway, I now will eat savory pumpkin recipes,
although probably won't cook them myself as pumpkin is a pita to clean. So I would just sub butternut squash in a pumpkin recipe. So I don't like pumpkin
sweet things like cookies, cakes, etc.
