All Things Pumpkin!

I had pumpkin pecan pie ice cream yesterday - it would have been good but they put crumbled up pie crust in it and that ruined an otherwise very good ice cream.

Maple bacon - separately - YES.

Together? A BIG NO.

HH, Trader Joe's makes an exceptional pumpkin pie ice cream, it has a real following. My daughter is not an ice cream fan but she loves a that one. I think it only comes out once a year. No pie crust or other additives in it.

I liked the flavor when I was a kid and maple syrup would run off a pancake onto a piece of bacon. I have no idea how it tastes in a cookie or donut, though.

There's a donut shop near me at the beach that makes their own vanilla cake donuts which can than be topped with any combination of many selections. One of their "suggestions" is maple glazed with bacon pieces. I was a bit leery at first, but they are absolutely delicious and have become one of my favorites when I'm in the mood for an indulgent treat.

When Trader Joe's gets all their pumpkin items in - I go nuts.

It's one of my favorite flavors - even more than chocolate.

I want to try the Williams Sonoma pumpkin caramels this year too.

Maple AND bacon? Together?......On a cookie?

sounds like a lot of ""natural"" flavors to me -- I'll pass....

I get the feeling the maple bacon thing is geared more toward guys. There's even bacon scented perfume......don't ask.
