Pumpkin Bread

If the bread's not orange, I don't... ah, wait, that's a tough rhyme to make. Let me try again —

  Pumpkin bread is a baked delight crafted with pumpkins and eaten as desserts, enjoyed with some tea, or used as sandwich breads, depending on the recipe used!

Warm Slice of Home

There is no food on this planet that can make a Brightfield resident feel more at home than some warm pumpkin bread. This versatile baked delight is a staple at every meal, in every household, and everyone has their own favorite way of making it.   The base recipe is simple: Pumpkins, of course (but with so many types out there, it can help to be specific!), eggs, sugar, flour, and spices of your choice — again, there are so many combinations to be found all across Brightfield and beyond! The common picks do tend to be cinnamon and nutmeg, with some cloves and ginger typically entering the mix too! The end result is often a sweet, delicately spicy bread that tends to be a dessert more often than not, but more savory versions make their way onto every table as a side, or ingredients for other great meals.

Versatile Fare

The most common form, a soft, warm dessert bread is a go-to treat when pumpkin pie is a bit too much for an ordinary meal. Most will eat it without any additions, but some whipped cream or butter can add just a little something delightful to the treat, if you need a boost.   A tougher, more savory pumpkin bread is a common pick for sandwiches, something a lot of other regions tend to see very rarely. Folks outside of Brightfield often try to make a distinction between "pumpkin bread," the dessert, and "pumpkin sandwich bread," the ingredient, but the locals will tell you it's all the same darling recipe. It's rather contrary to the more common situation where locals are more likely to make distinctions like that, and outsiders are the ones to miss the subtle differences in cuisine, but these folks do like to keep things simple in life. Pumpkin bread is pumpkin bread!

Particular About Pumpkin
The only odd quirk that Brightfield residents have, is that they will refuse to put pumpkin in or on pumpkin bread. It's enough pumpkin, if you could believe it!   If you offer the average Brightfielder a pumpkin-bread sandwich, WITH pumpkin in it, they'll politely turn you down and wonder what has come over you to even think of such a thing.
