I sort of had an all-over Thanksgiving revolution several years ago, learning to like both pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes in one fell swoop. My whole childhood long all I could do was stare at people who ate that stuff, while shaking my head and waiting for them to die from the inevitable toxic overload of Brownish Orange Mush.
I still am afraid of stuffing made by anyone but me. I mean, there could be anything in there.
It's fall in New England, which means that every food you previously enjoyed is now available in a horrible pumpkin-ified version. I'm pretty sure Dunkin Donuts has some kind of pumpkin coffee, and pumpkin donuts. Au Bon Pain has their pumpkin soup (which looks exactly like barf, especially if you get in in a bread bowl). I never liked pumpkin pie, or pumpkin anything, really. It was only when I moved up here that I found out just how much stuff can be ruined by putting gourd flesh in it.
by that logic, you shouldn't like anything you didn't have before your early 20s. like a smack on the ass at the appropriate time during the knocking boots (or knocking boots itself, i dunno when you first got it on...)
