Update on what I've tried, so far, this year.

1. Pumkin Spiced Latte
0
Hadn't had one in a long time. It wasn't as good as I remembered. Maybe, it was just mine, but it wasn't as "spicy" as I remembered and was very sugary. Probably my last...
Would highly recommend the following:
1. World famous Indian River Ruby Red Grapefruit
0
These are my favorite seasonal food in Berlin/Germany. Of course you can still find some of them out of season too, but it rarely tastes as good as when they are in season (both because of the freshness and the ambience).
1. Feuerzangenbowle
0
It's the next level of mulled wine. By showmanship. Cause you're adding a rum-soaked sugarloaf, set it on fire on top of a pot, and have it dripping into the wine. When you do it with friends sometimes there's too many rum poured on the sugarloaf. Obviously a drink for a cold winter time.

1. Fall

Apples are in season during the fall, so apple pie is the perfect dessert to try.
Some Southern traditions here, specifically Mid-South (United States).

1. Boiled custard.
0
Homemade, it's a lot different than store-bought egg nog. Traditional egg nog uses raw eggs. The stuff in the store has to be cooked to be commercially sold, and it often has spices and such in it. Boiled custard doesn't sound good, but it is made with milk, sugar, flour or corn starch (for thickening), and eggs that is slowly cooked in a double-boiler to keep the milk from scalding, then cooled. Creamy and delicious, especially when flavored with whipped cream and a spoonful of bourbon or rum or even vanilla extract. It's like really good ice cream base.

Haven't had this in years and I keep telling myself I'll get some and I never do. This is the year! I've also never had it with alcohol. Will give that a shot.
