5:27 Shout out to Max! (Tasting History with Max Miller) from a 2 year old video titled "Pumpion Pie from 1670" Also, at 6:09 it's Townsends a channel exploring the 18th Century lifestyle. Both great channels worth checking out. 😀
Yesss! I love Max too! I hope he gets to check out his video being used as a visual reference. I'm subbed to Townsends, but haven't really watched yet.
Shout out to my wife for loving PSLs, and refusing to show any interest in a pumpkin spiced history video, or 69 second pumpkin spiced recap performed by her husband. This video has proven to be a real gem.
You can eat turkey roast and cranberry sauce ever day if you want. But most people don't, because they like certain types of food and drink at certain times of the year.
The real fun thing is that its only popular in the USA, never seen that stuff anywhere in europe only like once a year at Starbucks and noone want that stuff
In the Netherlands we have pretty much exactly the same blend of spices, but we don't use it with pumpkin. It's called "cookie spices" because they're used for spiced cookies, and rather than pumpkin it's paired with almond paste and brown sugar.
I _LOVE_ pumpkin pie. This is my 2nd favorite time of year just because of that. I know I can buy it any time, or even make it, but this time of year it is acceptable to do so. I get weird looks when I request pumpkin pie from family as my birthday "cake" in July. Pumpkins were once called "pumpion". I read a recipe from 1658 for "Pumpion Pye", in a book called _The Compleat Cook_ . I never made it, but it was neat to see that the dish goes so far back.
Yess, it should be whatever the birthday person wants. My mom usually requests flan, 1000 layers cake or chocolate cake with ice cream. The rest of us always get chocolate cake with ice cream. I think you would like pumpkin bread with chocolate chips, its perfection, you should try it!
Pumpkin is king of pies for me especially with pumpkin spice, a bit of sugar, extra cinnamon and some whipped cream. Then pair it with some coffee, or stout tea.
“Spices such as rosemary, thyme, sage and parsley”… those are HERBS! Those were popular with poorer people as they could grow them themselves so weren’t just cheaper, they were basically free.
@@victoriahedlund7415 I don’t think so, you get dried herbs and herbs tend to be leaves and stalks. Spices are dried and ground seeds, bark or fruit of a plant.
@redstar8226 I was going to respond with 'how 'bout no?' Then I read ur response. 🤣🤣🤣. Ur response definitely beat mine! I speak as someone who LOVES pumpkin pie, but otherwise detests anything else pumpkin spice flavored.
It's basicly like indian Masala Chai (Tea) but with coffee. You can make it yourself. Buy the spices whole and let them simmer (not boil) in water: Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel seeds... actual black peppercorns... there's plenty of room for experiments.
I'm not a weirdo that raves about pumpkin spice whenever it's fall, but I do like it, and I wish some pumpkin spice things were year round. Like donuts, I think the pumpkin spice flavor goes good with it. Maybe I'll try to make the spice blend myself, I never really realized that it's not that complicated
Lived for many years in Concord, MA. Either you love everything Autumn ... or you're wrong. We take this kind of stuff very seriously ... right up there with the Grapes.
@@markgaudry7549 Right, You are, Sir! Absolutely! Don't mess with our Grapes. Don't even look at 'em the wrong way. And if You even think about 'em ... You'd better think good thoughts. Else, ... Well, I'd hate to think. Thanks for the accurate note! ~TD PS: Its a Gpod Life
It's Weird History Food Sunday! What a cool video about Pumpkin Spice, I didn't know it had such a history/story. Would be awesome to see more Autumn/Fall videos, especially Halloween ones, if you can!
I want to shoutout to James Townsend for his brief cameo eating pumpkin pie from one of his cooking vids found on his Townsends channel on YT. I enjoy his 17-18th century American history coupled with cooking channel.
Pumpkin Spice is the McRib of coffees, it's here for a limited time so we consume it till it's gone. But if it stayed longer, we would get tired of it.
As a pumpkin spice/autumn/Halloween machine that starts powering up her systems as prematurely as early August every single year, I can answer this 13-minute video in a matter of seconds! Because It's Tasty, Mate 🎃🍂☕
Bwahaha--"New World, Who Dis?" @3:25 It's the little touches of blink-and-you-miss-it humour that make the Weird History channels my favourites. It feels like a reward for my ADHD somehow.
I wasn't looking at the screen for a sec and thought i heard "they put it in their pestos" @4:55 and i was like "pumpkin pesto might be pretty good." (You did in fact say "frescoes" ) but now i'm getting a recipe idea for that squash on the counter and all them herbs in the yard... I just came for some weird food history but i'm leaving with dinner inspiration for weird food presently.
4:20 We still have a full-service gas station in my hometown (Burwell, Nebraska), where the attendants wash your windshield and pump your gas. It is called Burwell Independent Oil.
In Wisconsin, fall doesn't start until Culver's brings back the Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Concrete Mixer, and winter starts as soon as it's gone, minus the snow that may have already piled up in the northern parts of the state by late October/November
As a southern girl, if it doesn't taste like pumpkin pie, I don't want it. Pumpkin spice drinks from establishments never deliver for me. Now the food bloggers have some recipes that blow the coffee joints out of the water. Even still, I'm more partial the the Apple Brown Sugar combo for fall, in general.
I hate that some foods are only available for short windows. If I like a food, I'd gladly have it anytime. I can understand stuff like egg nog being seasonal because of the shelf life, but there is no reason why pumpkin spice couldn't be available year round. I'd gladly have it anytime.
3:09 Bones Coffee has a flavor called Santa Jack (with Jack Skellington on the label), it is inspired by the film The Nightmare before Christmas. The flavor is described as Cranberry Creme Brulee.
For a long time, I never could grasp the reasons for the appeal of pumpkin spice. Nowadays, just about anything and everything from foods, drinks, and other things have encompassed this flavor. I'm not too crazy about it, but at least after seeing this video, I now am fully aware of its' universal appeal. Thanks WHF for the very interesting and insightful video. 🎃🍁🍂🧡💛🖤
Please do an episode about kale. When I was a kid, I used to eat the garnish, which was kale, probably not washed... now it seems like kale suddenly became popular
Wow! I just learned something today! I didn’t know the history of pumpkin spice. Thank you for your videos. Every time I watch one I learn something new.
11:59 I saw a commercial recently about the Hooked On Phonics girl as an adult mother...that was psychelic. Even Don Draper would have loved that commercial!
8:00 I was once tasked with making a pumpkin spice syrup for a diner I was working at... and I put pumpkin puree in it as an experiment. That recipe won out and I was making a gallon of it a day during October. This was in Salem, MA, by the way. So there's gotta be something to it
Mmmmm liquid christmas cookies! I love it! It doesn't hurt if you also add a little cardamom. The weather is a little too warm for UGG boots just yet, but when it gets colder I'm going to cuddle up with all the warm, spicy beverages.
I fought the urge to try pumpkin spice until it started to get big in 2008. I had my first Pumpkin Spice coffee from a Speedway on my way to work. It was good. I only had three more during that fall and then maybe have one a season each year since then. I do the same with McDonalds Shamrock shakes - one is enough.
I love the shamrock oreo mcflurry but I only did the grimace shake once as well. I've had some pumpkin spice coffees from gas station convenience stores but pumpkin cream cold brew at Starbucks is the newer thing.
10:23 When my friend and I went to a Redman/Everclear concert in Lincoln, Nebraska, the mayor of Lincoln gave Everclear frontman Art Alexakis the key to the city. Art was so caught off guard for the gesture that he said "My mom wouldn't get me a key to our house!" right before he started to rock his guitar.
8:54 "What did you just say? Chai tea? Chai means "tea", bro! You are saying "tea tea"! Would I ask you for a "coffee coffee" with room for "cream cream"?"
I personally think it's kind of over-hyped. I remember growing up and my Grandma would make PS pancakes and PS creamer for her coffee with her Folgers coffee. This was in the late 90s and it wasn't just during the autumn months either. I do enjoy some of the PS products that get released during the season, but my family makes our own stuff most of the time so we can enjoy it year round.
Really interesting! I actually never heard about the whole pumpkin spice thing until two or three years ago but never paid much attention to it because it seemed to be one of these over the top hypes. This year I read up a bit about it because "what does that even mean?" Ended up learning it's regular cookie seasoning with a fancy name and spices I throw in my tea every once in a while anyway. Looks like I haven't been missing out on anything 😅
I think pumpkin spice flavors maybe becoming too much of a thing. Amazon is selling pumpkin spice Chapstick and scented air filters. But why am I not surprised😂
I've loathed and despised pumpkin and pumpkin spice my whole life and try to avoid it but it is ubiquitous this time of year. I go to group dinners this time of year where there is only pumpkin pie for dessert and some people are like what is wrong with you why do you not like it? I look forward to the eggnog and peppermint coming soon.
