By James Oliver Cury
People get very creative with their Halloween costumes—Groot the Talking Tree, apparently, will be huge this year. But when it comes to food and drink, this season tends to be all about one ingredient: pumpkin.
When applied to pie or soup, that’s a great go-to ingredient. But sometimes a little creativity can be a bad thing.
