So I keep seeing these referenced in various media formats but I don’t recall ever seeing one on the menu where I live (Australia). Maybe they are sold under a different name? Maybe only in some places and I wasn’t paying attention? I don’t know, but I sure know I’ve never ordered one.

Am I missing out? What do these taste like? What’s the hype all about?

Also- is there a popular food/drink you aren’t against trying, that you haven’t tried yet?

    You are tempting me to look up some pumpkin pie recipes. All that sounds delicious!

      Yes, do it, you’re missing out. Pumpkin pie is delicious. But yes, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes just taste like a latte with pumpkin pie flavor.

      Fun fact, pumkin pies arent actually made with pumpkims, but a certain kind of squash. Its usually made with hubbards or butternut.

        Is this true? I’ve always used the large cans of 100% pumpkin purée to make pumpkin pie - I thought most people did.

          Yah. The can of “pumpkin” filling that most people use is actually a different squash and not a pumpkin (at least the one we think of when you say pumpkin). A pumpkin doesnt have a hard definition, its just a family of hard shelled squashes. Its just not that typical orange pumpkin.
