Stopped by my buddy's house yesterday to find him baking a fresh pumpkin pie after a few loaves of his bread. All from fresh pumpkins picked last October. Sounds like I have not had real pumpkin pie in ages, so I told him to save me a sliver of a slice for the next pie he bakes and does not give away (not sure if that ever happens with him tho).

From a story he related, pumpkin pies made from fresh versus a canned product or similar are wholly opposite things. Someone who may find pumpkin pie disgusting may not have had a real, freshly made pumpkin pie that does not make use of a pre-made, crap filling.

Of course, I guess this applies to most anything. Fresh and natural beats fake and overly processed every time.
