Ever stick your bare hand into a pumpkin, scoop out a fistful of the insides, and shove it into your face like some kind of animal? No? Well then, that means you're a civilized person! It also means you recognize that the noble Pumpkin Plant and the delicious Pumpkin Pie do not taste the same!Y'see, Pumpkin Pie is really just a smooth, sweet delivery vehicle for all that cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and other seasonal spices! It's a palette upon which these spices can sing, dance and express their flavors! Try putting all those spices in your mouth without a gourd-based intermediary - it's terrible! Actually, don't do that (seriously, don't)! And that's the story of why we didn't release the "Squishable Pile of Loose Spices!" The end.
