RE: Market Friday Gourds a Pumpkin

in #marketfriday6 years ago

When I was little, pumpkin pie was the only pie I would eat. I loved cake, but hated pie, except for pumpkin pie. I'm still not a big pie guy, but I do like several others now too. :) I was a weird kid when it came to food, lol.

That's quite a collection of colors on those gourds, and they make for some beautiful shots. I think they have pumpkins that weigh a ton, don't they, where they have the Giant Pumpkin contests? I've seen pics of the cranes you mention lifting them.

Sort:  

Lots of kids don't like pie when they are young. I think it has to fo with textures. But, cake?? They love it!

I love pumpkin bread best of all! 😁 I never k ew that until three years ago!

We do have the largest pumpkin contests. And pumpking chunkin- where they compete how far a pumpkin can travel when it is catapulted across a field!

It is almost a sport! Lol

Thank you for stopping in and saying hello, leaving your words behind.

#MarketFriday loves you!

It wasn't only pie with me, I wouldn't eat gravy with my mashed potatoes, nor mayonnaise on my sandwich, (a more commonly disliked item). In a weird reversal though, I ate soft-boiled eggs when I was a kid, but won't eat them now. :) Thank you for the tips!

I can actually say I still don't eat gravy and never ate mayonnaise until I was an adult. Plus a few years. I will eat soft boiled, but, only if they are not snotty Ugh!!!

I think all kids have weird habits about eating and some adults too. LOL

The tips are my pleasure!

Oh, I LOVE gravy now! I can't even remember why I wouldn't eat it as a kid, lol. I was exactly the same as you with mayo. The first time I discovered that I actually liked mayo was when I was 20 and stationed at an army base near Pittsburgh Int'l airport, and I'd buy a tuna salad sandwich for lunch at the PX.

I had no idea mayo was an ingredient in Tuna salad, (I knew nothing about cooking then), but when I found out, that was when I decided to like it. Ever since then I really like it a lot.

There are so many foods I wouldn't eat before then, that I love now, like potato salad, chicken salad, macaroni salad, ham salad - on hamburgers and sandwiches - it opened the food world I'd been shutting out, and it was a blast enjoying all those dishes that I had shunned for the first time!

I couldn't eat soft-boiled eggs now. I can't even eat an egg sunny side up. I order my eggs over medium when I eat breakfast out. I won't go for them cooked less than that. :) Have a great day!
