You know my favorite thing about blogging? The people - YOU! I love hearing from different people, whether they’re halfway around the world or from a neighboring town here in Kentucky.
It always fascinates me to get e-mail or comments from readers who live in another country - it flat out blows my mind. It’s verrrry interesting to hear what sort of foods they/you eat….what’s available, what isn’t. I recently got a comment and 3 e-mails asking about a few ingredients I’d mentioned.
In the future, I’ll try harder to keep this in mind - and I’ll give more info about certain ingredients….and, whenever possible, substitutions.
One ingredient that everyone asked me about was Pumpkin Pie Spice (Click the link for ordering info.). There are several brands here in the states, but I use the one you see pictured above. Basically, it is simply the typical ingreidents used in a Pumpkin Pie - they’re just all put togehter under one top. By the way, this stuff is also amazing on French Toast, Cinnamon Toast, Fried Apples, and oatmeal!
Another ingredient that raised a few question marks was Pet Milk (again, click the link to check it out). Pet Milk is simply evaporated milk. My father in law used to use it in his coffee all the time, but the only time I really ever buy it is for Pumpkin or Sweet Potato pies. (Though I will admit, one time I got curious and put some in my coffee - and it was really good!)
I’m going to start searching for Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pie recipes that contain ingredients that are a little more basic - as soon as I find them, I’ll post them!
