Pumpkin as a savoury versus pumpkin as a sweet!!!! Pumpkin soup is delicious but it's a savoury food where I live. The whole dessert thing and coffee flavour is confusing
BTW, I have had "Gator Fingers" (like chicken fingers, only with gator) in your state. They were excellent!!! Very light, juicy, and delicate meat. Not at all fishy, slimy, eel-y, or anything like that.
Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite pies. Pumpkin bread (which is really more of a sweet cake) is excellent, too. You can also replace "pumpkin" with "squash" in these previous sentences and still be valid. Don't drink coffee, so cannot comment on that aspect.
