Yum, pumpkin

Why are pumpkin-flavored foods not available year-around? We can grow pumpkins in California whenever we want.

I would buy pumpkin bread, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin lattes throughout the year. But I suppose there is a segment of the population that likes looking forward to this time of year with anticipation of pumpkin mania. As if being denied pumpkin for the majority of the year makes it taste better in the Fall.

Of course, that segment probably has a lot of overlap with the segment that likes daylight saving time because they think it changes the actual time the sun rises.
