Three seasonal items / flavors I will NOT consume

As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today

What seasonal flavor do you genuinely like any time of the year? (e.g. pumpkin spice, gingerbread)

I have a little confession to make: I’m not a foodie. At all. So instead of talking about season flavors that I genuinely like at any time of year, I’m going to talk about three season of flavors that I absolutely despise any time of the year.

Pumpkin spice

Long before pumpkin spice flavor became a phenomenon with soccer moms everywhere, I hated pumpkin flavor. I just don’t like the taste of pumpkin. That pumpkin pie. Not actual pumpkins, and most certainly not pumpkin spice. Now there’s pumpkin spice candles drinks, scented plug-ins. If you can think of it, chances are they probably have it in a pumpkin spice flavor. I just know that I won’t be getting any.

Eggnog

I guess eggnog isn’t so much a season of flavor, or maybe it is, as much as it is a holiday beverage. But what you were talking about Christmas time or any other time of year, I don’t do eggnog. The other thing is is I don’t like eggs in general, but I do know that a lot of foods I eat have eggs as part of the recipe. Of course, I have been known to eat a scrambled egg from time to time.

Fruitcake

This is another one of those seasonal dishes. I think that fruit cake is becoming something of a dying breed. The old man loved fruit cake. Nobody else in my immediate family ever did. I’m not a big fruit eater in general, but this stuff just looks atrocious. I think I could turn on fruitcake into a doorstop if I let it sit on a table for a long enough period of time. How The Old Man used to eat and digest that stuff is beyond me.

In the meantime, I’m going stick to my newfound love, ice mochas.
