» Fri Oct 05, 2012 6:20 pm

Fall is upon us! What foods are you looking forward too? Octoberfest brews? Pumpkin latte? Pumpkin cheesecake? Spaghetti squash with fresh tomato sauce?

Me I love em all but what I really love is eggnog spiked with Sailor Jerry Rum.

spaghetti with squash sounds gross btw. the best cold weather food is stew

What's a fall?

In America it's another word for Autumn. That meaning used to be common elsewhere in the world, but it died out somehow.

OT: I'm mostly just looking forward to Thanksgiving in a month or two. Turkey and apple pie, yum.

How peculiar. Sadly don't think I eat any autumn specific foods. Chesnuts at a push but not for many many years.

ha i thought she was making a joke about the weather being messed up but i forget not everyone speaks american english

i assume the name fall stems from the time of year when leaves turn and fall on the ground

Turkey, leftover turkey.

Anything and everything we gain from our final harvest, which just happened. The weather just erratically took a turn towards cold as [censored].

Last night, I made basil fried rice using freshly harvested Thai basil, jalapeno, and Thai chilies. It might not be what comes to mind with Fall, but it was absolutely lovely.

Turkey and grilled pumpkin seeds!

We don't really do fall food around here.

mmm canadian thanksgiving is this weekend so i'm looking forward to my 2 turkey dinners!

pumpkin seeds are also a must this time of year. baked with a secret blend of spices to pack just enough kick!
a local brewery makes a mean pumpkin ale (granville island brewing) that i usually get a few bottles of

slow cooker stews and homemade soups will start to be the norm again too.
squashes are almost ready to be yanked from the garden too!

I've never understood why Thanksgiving is a purely American tradition, it's the most awesome holiday of the year.

There are other countries that celebrates Thanksgiving too, but to be honest I'm not very familiar with the tradition. I think we've got Thanksgiving here as well (h?sttakkefest), but from what I've read it's pretty religious stuff, and I don't think many does it anymore. :shrug:

Xurtsy be loving himself some pumpkin pie!

I can't think of any seasonal foods I eat or look forward to for any season really. The only thing I can think of is pumpkin pie which I love soo much.

Looking forward to some seasonal brews and pumpkin pie!

because only pilgrims to america were thankful for taking over native land and giving the locals disease and death in return

Veggie moose soup FTW.

Thanks for the history lesson. Practically speaking, anyone could participate in Thanksgiving. It's a pretty simple holiday.

EDIT: Whoops, mega misread your post. Disregard all that...

What's a Season?

It's this thing where, like, there's snow one minute, then WHAM. Foliage, foliage everywhere!

They should rename Thanksgiving to "Eat Lots of Turkey Day". That's what it is anyway.

I'd say I'm looking forward to roasted pumpkin seeds, but it's been years since I had any. Those were always the best part of October.
