[Magdalen] And so it begins...

Well, you just didn't visit at the right time!   :-(    Pumpkins don't get 
ripe until the very end of the season, and then they usually need to cure 
for a few weeks. Which is maybe why they're popular at Halloween.

Pumpkin pie indeed does have added spices - in fact, one can buy pumpkin pie 
spice in the grocery store. It's usually a combination of cinnamon, ginger 
and cloves. At least, that's what I put in to the pumpkin pie I made for 
Thanksgiving yesterday. From my own long pie pumpkins, of course.

I've never has pumpkin pie.  Having tasted pumpkon I'm sure you need to
add some flavour to it somwhow.  Mince pie, OTOH, does have flavour.
