🤦 ... and where do you think those spices originate from?

Also it's just an American thing, I'm in Europe but never really had anything pumpkin spice.

I have had pumpkin soup but apparently the spice doesn't taste like pumpkin.

Pumpkin Spice is a spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) for pumpkin, not a spice made from pumpkin.

Ah, so that's why it's so terrible on everything except a pumpkin pie.

Chai tea and certain ramen style soups would like a word.

It's not supposed to, the blend of spices is just used in pumpkin pie, thus the name

Not sure how is it in other European countries but I associate those particular spices with Christmas. The phrase pumpkin spice didn't use to be a thing here but now thanks to American influence and marketing people you can buy all sorts of pumpkin spice products here. Some even sell pumpkin latte to make it even more confusing.

Until I read these comments I thought the "white" was about snow due to my associating this with Christmas. It was very confusing and annoying cos Xmas is months away until I revisited this thread and realised.

Clearly, I for one have no idea wtf is going.

White people like pumpkin spice lattes n stuff. That's the joke

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think I've seen pumpkin spice in the UK. Though I don't get out much cos I have no friends.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Apparently pumpkin spice is blend of spices used in pumpkin pie. So that usually includes ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves etc.

Talk about misleading name.

its an american teenage girl stereotype. they go crazy for pumpkin spice season at starbucks

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Not only spice, all sort of food. This is a very american thing for sure

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Chicken and watermelon anyone? /s

[-] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's making fun of the popularity of pumkin spice stuff in certain demographics.

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago
