fall flavor appreciation thread

Bigdog · Post by **Bigdog** (?) » Thu Oct 24, 2019 8:21 pm

post ITT whenever you are enjoying a fall flavor treat, such as pumpkin spice or any of its less overexposed cousins

I am currently conducting my weekly replenishment of muscle glycogen with the assistance of pumpkin spice latte light ice cream, as well as pumpkin spice and apple cider flavored cookies from Trader Joe's

Does candy corn count?

I'm enjoying tea, which I do in every season, but it's especially nice in Fall and Winter

I can't have pumpkin spice too much at once, it's one of those strong flavors that I enjoy the first few bites of and then go "welp I'm done for a week"

and I don't really know what other fall flavors there are so I'll just talk about mint tea being great because mint is year round and its cooling powers bring the world closer to an eternal winter with every one I brew

now I am enjoying some apple cinnamon tea, which, while not specifically made as a fall seasonal flavor, seemed appropriate when I saw it at the store tonight

I made butternut squash for dinner tonight if that counts.

Pumpkin spice rules and fall flavors are the best.

I like apple cider, but make it caramel apple cider and then make it winter so I can enjoy it with a peppermint hot chocolate.

Is there alcohol free cider? I'd love to try some

The Ghost of Ember · Tue Sep 17, 2019 4:56 pm

alcohol free cider is so much better than alcoholic cider it is ludicrous.

i don't know what its like in germany, but your best bet to find it in america is near or at an orchard

just be wary, it is delicious but usually very high in calories. dangerous stuff.

Demeh · Post by **Demeh** (?) » Fri Oct 25, 2019 10:09 am

Honestly aside from cider the amount of special alcohol free beer that's available in most Dutch supermarkets nowadays (that's not just pilsner) is ridiculous

Like, I mean that in a fully positive way. It's nice to see so much choice

The stuff we call cider is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider

It's basically just cider straight out of the press (or refrigerated and pasteurized to keep it fresh in stores) before it's been allowed to ferment at all. If you happen to know any local cideries, maybe you could convince them to sell you the fresh cider; hopefully you wouldn't sound too crazy for wanting to drink it.

Yes, until the last decade or so, pretty much all cider in the US was non-alcoholic. It's vastly superior to apple juice, but usually only widely available in the Fall. Growing up, we'd heat up a mug of cider and throw a cinnamon stick in there for a deliciously warm Autumn beverage.

Also, unlike the from concentrate garbage you got at IHOP while we were at Bronycon, it actually tastes like apples.

The Ghost of Ember · Tue Sep 17, 2019 4:56 pm

pumpkin pie is better than almost any other pie except maybe cherry

Octavia · Post by **Octavia** (?) » Fri Oct 25, 2019 3:41 pm

Pumpkin Pie and Key Lime Pie are my two favorite pies. Apologies to Pinkie and Maud.

Remember when ponies caused international hubbub when they dedicated an entire episode to characters wanting and drinking cider and cider is just assumed to be alcoholic everywhere outside North America?

And even then it took until the end of S7 before Hasbro had the show stop using the word. Where The Apple Lies was censored from its broadcast version for this reason, with subsequent releases having "juice" phoned in each time anyone mentioned cider.

Here we assume cider is just that richer flavored apple juice, so yeah. Though honestly, let the ponies drink beer if they want

Madeline · Post by **Madeline** (?) » Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:20 am

I accept all pies

Also, today I drank some (nonalcoholic) apple cider, 10/10, would drink again

I made* beef stew last month. It was delicious. Need to make this again at some point.

*And by "made," I mean "helped my parents make because I don't really know how to cook."

Never too late to learn from them to make it yourself! Looks delicious
