Who Unofficially Invented "Pumpkin Spice"?

There has to be some history behind pumpkin and spice colliding.

This is bothering me.

I want to meet the person behind this collaboration.

Help me through this, HF community.

 

Have you ever eaten plain raw pumpkin?

 

Negative.

 

Me, I did.

 

Also known as "refined sugar and cinnamon"

 

Don’t know mate but i did a google search.
Came up with this link.
Pumpkin Spice: An Origin Story

 

it must have been since i grew up, since when i was little, it was just cinnamon and nutmeg.
i mean i don't remember anything being called pumpkin spice, those are just what people used when they made something with pumpkin in it.

 

I ain't eatin anything called nutmeg.

 

It'll getcha high!

 

Nutmeg is a hallucinogenic...

 

Pumpkin (uncooked) already tastes and smells like a disaster.

Adding spice of any sort to an already crappy tasting item seems a waste of time and effort to me.

 

My mom makes a pie like this every year at Thanksgiving. I never touch it..but I do enjoy the apple and cherry pies she makes.

 

Rich people eat raw salted fish eggs...

 

Its a sequel to a Jason statham movie, he battles a 500ft giant prehistoric walnut.
