The Taste of Things To Come

摘要

Were you surprised by the number of pumpkin-flavored options on menus this past autumn? There were pumpkin lattes and pumpkin beer, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin brittle, pumpkin soup and pumpkin foam. It seems pumpkin has moved from a relatively rare seasonable taste at mostly high-end establishments to a flavor that can be found in everything (sweet to savory to salty) and everywhere. This pumpkin flavor immersion wasn't a surprise to those who noted that, in 2010, food forecasters picked pumpkin as a key taste trend.
