I like pumpkin seeds as well. I'd always max out on it at the buffet salad section if it's a thing.

Pumpkin cream soup is great. However, you can also make a pumpkin (non-cream) soup where its mostly made with sugar water and pumpkins.

I would also like to try pumpkin juice someday, I hear it's a thing in Harry Potter. =)

Idk. I remember the time when the dalgona coffee trend was going around. I am not fond of coffee but it was quite good.
Early quarantine was so long ago

No offence Shwe, but you've reminded me that I forgot something on my dislike list -- pumpkin and squash. Just don't get on with the texture. I get on fine with others in the gourd family -- melons and cucumbers, for example.

Also, sweet potatoes. Again, it's a texture thing. Even a baked one tends to be far too soggy for my taste.

I hate sweet potatoes, I was once on a hiring committee and I said this, and the woman from HR said "don't you say that till you have had my sweet potato pie".

2 days later she comes in with her sweet potato pie. She did not lie, that freaking pie was outstanding. I can still remember how good it was.

I've never tried.

But now that you say this, I must give it a shot

I love cheese, but not cauliflower. I've never found a way to make myself like it.

Sweet potato casserole is very tasty and I say you should give it a try. It is sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. Very yummy!

I am also not a fan of sweet potatoes.

This pie sounds good, I'll reconsider your offer to work in the USA

My brother does not like veggies and HE suggested I should make it in my air fryer.

What about broccoli in baked yellow cheese with a touch of pumpkin sauce?

It’s one of my mom’s favorites

I find the balance of milk to be very tricky

It’s very easy for it to taste too milky but then add too little, and it may chunk

That explains it. I was always told "don't add too much milk or it will be watery". Well look what happened.
