A month ago, in a holiday season, i tried to bake a pumpkin pie for the first time.
In my country it is not a common meal.
Usually my "cooking adventures" turn out good but this time something went wrong.
I found the recipe on the internet and did not have all the ingredients but decided to bake it anyway.
I had flour, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, cranberries, pumpkin, milk, honey, rum and cinnamon.
I did not have a lemon and orange peel, ricotta cheese, brown sugar, vanilla and a nutmeg.
So instead of lemon and orange peel i put lemon juice, instead of ricotta cheese i put a plain cream cheese, instead of brown sugar i put white, and i did not find anything similar to vanilla and nutmeg.
My pie crust turn out just fine, and pumpkin filling was looking and tasting just fine also (to me).
We had guests that day, a couple with three year old boy.
No one from adults did not want to try my pie, so they gave a bit to a child.
He did not like the taste and made an ugly face wen he tried my pie.
Everyone started laughing, and every time they came over since that day and we offer a child some a cake of some kind he makes a frown face so we all laugh again.
It seems that the boy they remembers the "incident" with a pumpkin pie and his parents have to convince him that he is not going to get such surprise again.
